The Friends of English Magic New series. At the beginning of the 19th century, the world no longer believes in magic - until the reclusive Mr Norrell stuns the people of York by making statues surrounding the city's cathedral speak and move. Meanwhile, the rich and charming Jonathan Strange, more interested in wine and women than reading dusty old books, discovers that he too has magical powers. As the duo's stories intertwine, they embark on a fantastic journey involving mystical creatures, the reanimation of the dead and war with Napoleon's French Empire. Fantasy based on Susanna Clarke's novel, starring Eddie Marsan and Bertie Carvel

I enjoyed it but it needs livening up.
Report Eeternaloptimist • May 17, 2015 11:52 PM BST
I've taped it but largely because Marsan's in it.

Will watch it this evening. I have only recorded it because Eddie Marsan is in it.

Will report back later.

From the trailers it seems Lenny Henry should be happy.

I've watched them all, and have been close to dying of boredom.

Watched 'Humans' on CH4+1, which is a lot better.

Been recording them and from reading this it seems it might be best to delete them
Report spellingandgrammarchecker • June 15, 2015 1:35 PM BST
You won't see any close up magic, with cards, coins or objects, or illusions in the style of David Copperfield, it's all CGI rubbish.

But having stuck with it for weeks I'll go on suffering to the end. 

2 left to go I think.

I used to read Dr.Strange in the marvel comics in the seventies. Dr stephen strange master of the mystic arts. norrell must be his enemy Murdo. Seems a bit of a coincidence. some subliminal hokey pokey. they even had an issue were strange went back in time to napoleon's time to fight murdo.

i also enjoyed the film troll - starring the character Harry Potter Sr and Harry Potter jr. about a magical land in the basement of an apartment complex. Starring Michael Moriarty and Noah Hathaway as a child star.

can the writer's come up with original names. I'm currently writing a fictional book about a gallery owner called indiana johnston in the 19th century who battles evil painters in Paris who are attempting to subvert the art market. the film is called - traders of the lost art.
