I forgot to mention I watched the BBC miniseries The Dark Angel featuring Peter O'Toole, Jane Lapotaire and Beatie Edne, based on the novel Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Although I haven't read the book on which it's based, it's a really interesting and involving piece of Gothic television with great performances by all the main actors – I don't think Peter O'Toole has ever been more sinister, Lapotaire is wonderfully wicked as Madame de la Rougierre and Edne, who I only know from In the Name of the Father, is superb. I didn't intend to, but I found it was so good that I watched for three hours in one go! When Network next have a sale, I highly recommend it.
