This series is still being produced on the BBC. the Seventh series just aired starting April 2008. At this time, BBCAmerica has no plans to air the seasons 5-7. They will be bringing the next series in Wired in the Blood in 2009. So--Go yell at the BBC to air Waking the Dead--you will really want them to do so--(spoiler alert)due to the fact that there is resolution to ...             Barnum37 reviews Michael Crawford, Eileen Battye Water Bearer, 2001 Barnum DVD Michael Crawford--showing his evolution from "Something Funny" and "Hello" and before "Phantom"--"does everything"!!             The Royle Family - The Complete Second Season3 reviews Ricky Tomlinson, Sue Johnston BBC Warner, 2008 The Best of British Comedy I have been a fan of British comedy for years, and I believe this is one of the best. This comedy has successed in doing what American television rarely does---making real people. These people are neither all pretty nor rich. I have purchased seasons 1 and 2, but I cannot figure out why number 3 has not been offered. This is a big disappointment.             The Royle Family - The Complete First Season5 reviews Caroline Aherne, Craig Cash BBC Warner, 2007 Great show for Anglophiles This is a great show for anyone who is addicted to BBC. At first blush, it seems to be nothing more than a crude British family sitting around watching TV - almost like a faux reality show. And on one level - it is. It's not much for production values; I think I counted a total of 3 sets for the whole series. And the action (if you can call it action) takes place in real time. But after ...             Waking the Dead - The Complete Season Two11 reviews Trevor Eve, Sue Johnston BBC Warner, 2007 British Cold Case Season two of the British version of Cold Case with less music and more realistic detective work. The forensic specialists actually have to wear unattractive suits when investigating their cases. No cleavage shots and high heels here. The character development is minimal, yet the characters are so rich and engaging because of the way they interact. Boyd is a unique detective, gruff and ...             Waking the Dead - The Complete Season 1 and Pilot Episode19 reviews Trevor Eve, Sue Johnston BBC Warner, 2006 Basis for US-Produced Cold Case and CSI's If you want a look at how Cold Case Files and CSI came to be, then obtain the BBC-produced Waking the Dead (Seasons 1 and 2). Absolutely tremendous writing, superb casting and acting, and believable characters that you can relate to. Whereas the US-produced Cold Case, CSI, etc., present us with "cookie cutter" gender leads, the British-produced Waking the Dead is not concerned with the looks ...             Imagine Me & You107 reviews Piper Perabo, Lena Headey 20th Century Fox, 2006 Very sweet Sure, it's a lighthearted comedy, a romance, and a fantasy. The plot has got about as many holes in it as your typical Hollywood romantic comedy, but I won't complain. This film really came in handy when I wanted to show to my soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend at the time what I was going through. He laughed along with me at the funny parts, cheered for the heroines to reach their happy ending and ...             Brassed Off!77 reviews Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald Miramax, 1999 Gritty and true I lived through the mining strike - and the closing of our pit - in another small British pit village. I knew many of the players in the band, similarly a top band (ironically, featured regularly on the BBC throughout). Every time I watch this film, which I do fairly regularly, it brings it all back: the community split between fight and resignation, the women fighting for their men's - and ...             My Uncle Silas - Series 25 reviews Albert Finney, Sue Johnston Acorn Media, 2003 A feel good series My Uncle Silas series 2 staring Albert Finney is a great look at the relationship that can develop between a young boy and his older although not especially wiser great uncle. As Uncle Silas, Finney is excellent at showing his great nephew Edward, played wonderfully by Joe Prospero, the way not to carry on as a proper gentleman. Although set in England in the time before World War 1 the stories ...             Preaching to the Perverted16 reviews Guinevere Turner, Christien Anholt First Look Pictures, 2003 SPANKING FOR FUN "PREACHING TO THE PERVERTED" Spanking for Fun Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride "Preaching to the Perverted" (Netflix) is a very strange movie. Once you get past the S/M theme you will find an enjoyable experience, one that blew me away. T is somewhat ingenious in the way it deals with a subject heretofore not handled on film. Just the way it uses color is amazing and the message that it ...             Sex, Chips and Rock 'n' Roll6 reviews Gillian Kearney, Emma Cooke Acorn Media, 2002 Two girls just wishin' and hopin' Mercifully, the "chips" (as in "fish 'n' chips") is downplayed in this well written, finely acted, high-energy period drama. The period in question is Swingin' England in 1965. The locale, working-class Manchester (in the beginning) and London (second half). The story focuses on a rivalrous pair of twin sisters coming out of high school, full of dreams and eager to buck the iron rule of their ...             Face [Region 2]9 reviews Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone Best of British Robert Carlyle has yet another opportunity to showcase his considerable talent in a great crime thriller. The movie opens with an excellent robbery scene that soon devolves into a clash of greed, personalities, and intrigue. The depth of characterization portrayed is far beyond the typical Hollywood production, and Carlyle is aided considerably by great performances by Ray Winstone, Leana ...             New Year's Day1 review Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Anastasia Hille Strand Releasing, 2004 Good Story Being an Anglophile, no matter what, I would rate this movie favorably. Being the first one to review I like also to be honest. This is obviously a British movie, a Strand Releasing. It is not a real gay movie, however, the relationship between the two boys is extraordinarily close due to the circumstances. There is love between the two main characters but what I consider of a friendship nature. ...             Face9 reviews Damon Albarn, Leon Black Image Entertainment, 2005 Best of British Robert Carlyle has yet another opportunity to showcase his considerable talent in a great crime thriller.
