100 TV Mini-Series
A list of 100 TV mini-series that are worth while revisiting. Included are a few of the highest rated mini-series of recent years, but mostly near forgotten older ones. Some of them were truly excellent, some are guilty pleasures, some are interesting mostly because of the people who appear in them.
No documentaries. Only scripted and acted productions. For some reason a few are listed as TV series or TV film on the site, but they all are mini-series in as far as they deal with one subject or are based on one piece of literature, and that they were originally broadcast in several parts.

100 titles
- StarsDerek JacobiJohn HurtSiân PhillipsThe personal and governmental affairs of the Julio-Claudian dynasty at the beginning of the Roman Empire, as recalled by one of its rulers.Starring Sian Phillips (whose performance is stellar), a young John Hurt (in a hugely enjoyable and outrageous performance as Caligula), Patrick Stewart, Brian Blessed, Derek Jacobi
- StarsJürgen ProchnowHerbert GrönemeyerKlaus WennemannA World War II German U-Boat crew have a terrifying patrol mission in the early days of the war.Basically the extended version of the film with the same title.

Highly recommended because of very high production standards. Filmed largely on location in the Soviet Union, with many Russian actors and even members of the Russian army as extras in many scenes.

- StarsAlec GuinnessMichael JaystonAnthony BateIn the bleak days of the Cold War, espionage veteran George Smiley is forced out of semi-retirement to uncover a Soviet agent within MI6's echelons.Starring Alec Guinness.
