For those of us who can’t resist a British accent, the BBC has released a pair of teaser trailers to whet our appetites for their upcoming fall slate, which includes shows such as The Secrets of Crickley Hall (based on the novel by James Herbert) and Parade’s End (based on the novels by Ford Maddox Ford), among others – and of those others, there are two in particular I am very interested to see: a period detective drama, Ripper Street, and Hunted, a spy show with a delicious MI-5 vibe. Take a look:
And of the above, these two have been lucky enough to be given a trailer all their own:
The Secrets of Crickley Hall
Hunted
Not bad, eh? So keep an eye on BBC America and PBS this autumn – it seems there are many good things still to come…
Parade’s End is based on amazing novels, has a script by Tom Stoppard & an excellent cast. But its US co-producer is HBO–who has hinted it may show over here in early 2013. Alas. Not this Autumn……
And it’s directed by Susanna White, who is fantastic!
I haven’t seen an official release date from HBO yet, but hopefully they’ll announce one soon…
