I have read all of the Roman Mysteries' books and I loved them, so when i heard a tv series had come out i watched it... and i hated it. The books are to good to be broadcasted on the CBBC channel, at 4:30, as a 20 min children's show. I would have prefered it to be a movie.

Top notch cast, glorious scenery and a faithfull adaptation of a much loved classic, this version of Heidi ticks all the boxes.

Orphaned Heidi (Emma Bolger)lives with her Aunt (Pauline McLynn - Father Ted) who dumps her into the care of her unwilling Grandpa (Max Von Sydow)at his remote home in the Alps. No sooner has this winsome child charmed her way into his heart than she is taken away and "sold" to be a companion to a disabled girl, Clara, who lives in the city. Soon Heidi is weaving her innocent magic on a cold, unfeeling household run by a Housekeeper (Geraldine Chaplin), but the call of the mountains and her Grandpa cannot be ignored and it takes the wisdom of Clara's Gran (Diana Rigg) to see where the child belongs.

DVD : Sherlock Holmes MURDER ROOMS collection - The White Knight Stratagem / The Kingdom of Bones / The Photographer's Chair / The Patient's Eyes / The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes - 3 disc DVD Box se
This 2000 BBC mini-series of the world most famous detective Sherlock Holmes, explores what may very well have been the dark beginnings of the British sleuth and his sidekick Dr Watson. In this European import five dvd case, the English version has unremovable Dutch subtitles, which is a minor drawback, considering what remains a bargain price (I got my case for a real good price). Ian Richardson is Dr Joseph Bell, from the University of Edinburgh, while Doyle (Watson) is played successively by Robin Laing and Charles Edwards. The series was shot entirely in Edinburgh, and manages to create a mysterious and foreboding atmosphere, at least as thrilling as that of White Chapel. What makes "The Dark beginnings of Sherlok Holmes" so interesting is its ... Read More:

As an aficionado of Roman history, I was very pleased with this adaptation of Nero. Along with the TV series Rome, it is one of the few decent adaptations of Roman history to have been produced recently.
Surprisingly, John Simm is brilliant at playing Caligula, and Hans Matheson is superb as Nero, humanizing the classic monster through a powerful blend of arrogance and paranoia.
A true story that mirrors our own troubled times.

This was the last of the Murder Rooms series and in my opinion also the best.
The acting is brilliant especially by Ian Richardson and Rik Mayall who gives a surprisingly
well and straight performance as Daniel Blaney.
The plot is as usual in the Murder Rooms series
cunning and brilliant and you will keep guessing
untill the very last minute.
The ending of the white knight strategem also gives good closure to a fantastic series.
Well worth buying,you won't regret it.

DVD : Murder Rooms: The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes [2001]
When we last saw the great forensic professor of medicine, Dr. Joseph Bell (Ian Richardson), from the University of Edinburgh, it was 1873. He and his callow young medical student, Arthur Conan Doyle, had just solved a horrendous series of murders, but at great cost. The young woman Doyle had loved was the last victim and the murderer had escaped. It's now a few years later. Doyle has his degree and is trying to establish his own practice. Bell has chosen to become friends with Doyle, drawn by Doyle's eagerness to learn, his intelligence and his concern for the sick and weak. Bell also is touched by the knowledge of Doyle's great loss. He is sensitive enough not to comment on Doyle's physical change. Instead of a callow youth, Doyle, while still tentative ... Read More:

DVD : Prime Suspect 4 - Scent Of Darkness [1995]
The past returns to haunt Detective Superintendent Tennison in this, the best of the three 'Prime Suspect 4' episodes. The tortured and beaten bodies of two new murder victims display identical characteristics to the bodies of George Marlow's victims; the intriguing problem is that Marlow is in prison, suggesting that either a copycat killer is at work, or Tennison, the detective on the original case, put the wrong man away. This engrossing drama captures something of the tense, urgent tone of the earlier 'Prime Suspect' stories, with Tennison endeavouring, despite both personal and professional pressure, to get to the truth.
