Beyond the Roundels

I'm still only making an erratic first pass through the collection (mostly alphabetical, but sometimes random & not necessarily reading all the fic in one fandom at a time), but here's an initial recs post before reveals are upon us already:

( 22 recs in The Avengers, Bridgerton series, Cadfael, Fire & Hemlock, Great British Bake-Off, Georgette Heyer, Historical RPF, Jonathan Creek, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, The Lion in Winter, Much Ado About Nothing, North & South, The Pallisers, Press Gang, Pushing Daisies, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), Shirley, Which Witch? & Willow )

The second half of the recs post!

( 17 recs in Historical RPF, The Hour, Howl, Miss Marple, The Mummy, North and South, Oxford Comma Sentence Examples, Pushing Daisies, Red Dwarf, Ripper Street, Sapphire and Steel, Sarah Jane Adventures, Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard/Shadow of the Tower, Stay, and Thursday Next )

Hastily, before reveals this afternoon! There are heaps of things I haven't even looked at, stuff I probably didn't bookmark, some of these I might not yet have commented on, but let's have a look before we all cease to be anonymous.

(And, of course, not forgetting my wonderful gifts, all recced here - Chalet School, Miss Marple & Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Uncovered.)

( 21 recs in 17 Fandoms - Cold Comfort Farm, Dead Like Me, Emma, Georgette Heyer, Ghost Soup, The Good Life, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Love, Actually, The Mummy, North and South, Northanger Abbey, Red Dwarf, Sarah Jane Adventures, Ten Stupidest Things, and While You Were Sleeping )

Day 17 - Favourite mini-series. (I'm rebellious, I'm doing the days out of order. This post has to be done on a Sunday - classic period drama day. ;-D Besides, as pedanther pointed out, otherwise this meme ends on a really depressing note!)

This had to be a BBC period drama as I don’t watch many other self-contained serials (that, I take it is a mini-series, yes?), although Lost in Austen gets a definite honorable mention here. I also love very much the 1995 Persuasion, The Way We Live Now, Wives and Daughters, Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend and Little Dorrit, among, well, just about all of them, but I choose North & South.

I hesitated over this, as I know the only two people I persuaded to watch in the virtual world didn’t like it and fair enough (that’s what makes life interesting!). However, this is why I do (or merely scratching the iceberg of that, possibly), and if my flist are kind and read the entry, I’ll explain something about what I really like in TV in relation to this. And I have some pretty and non-spoilerish pictures, too and links to the beautiful score by Martin Phipps. So, humour me here. You can ignore the other answers for all the other 29 days, but I want to share my love for the BBC's North & South.

( And this is why I still like it, okay )
