Johnathon Strange and Mr Norrell

[RobG]

was talking about this show to some people in a stream the other day, its really worth checking out if you like dark historical fantasy... magic, faeries, great acting, cool story. I recommend!

"Jonathan Strange accesses ancient and troubling magic as he fights the Napoleonic armies, while Mr Norrell battles to keep his secrets hidden, and the mysterious Gentleman enrols Sir Walter's servant Stephen to help him enchant the beguiling Arabella." (blurb from the latest episode)

Be quick because the first episode will rotate from Iplayer soon I think.

I've seen people talking about this everywhere! There was a really in-depth write up someplace on a Berserk forum that had me interested. Will definitely have to check out the first episode and then decide if I should read the book(s).
