Just goes to show how silly the BBC really are. they play all their usual silly sitcommy crap on their main channels BBCs 1 + 2 but any decent dramas like the Secret Life of Mrs Beeton get shunted off to BBC4 - a dead cert as only about 3million people at most have these channels, let alone watch it regularly.
The Secret Life of Mrs Beeton is a helluva drama managing to be both a hilarious and touching period drama. Bravo to Anna Madley for a stellar performance in bringing a multifaceted character back to life. Track this down...somehow! I dunno if its on DVD or maybe someone cool videoed it, who knows, maybe the BBC will come to its senses and broadcast it on its terrestial channels, it certainly deserves to be!
Watch this, you'll love it, I did + I'm a 17 yr old boy!
