Michael Gambon is such a brilliant actor :)

@frostylunetta Thank you for chiming in. Truer words were never spoken. Every once in a while I see him in some movie or TV show and I think, he's flippin' superb.

[roachy333]

The most brilliantly written piece of television that I've ever seen and ever will see...mainly due to the fact that Dennis was the greatest television writer that has ever existed. Anyone who puts this up has impeccable taste....that is certain. Oh how I miss him...now look at the state of television...Dennis would spin in his grave!

I have that Bragg interview on an official video...it is a treasure of mine.

That's the most moving thing that I've seen on TV...I can tell you that, I was hanging on every word and Bragg was superb. Awesome...that so many still remember Dennis so fondly...he went far too soon.

A coworker recommended this series to me. I haven't heard of this before but I really like it so far. Thanks for sharing this!

Phew! Thanks so much for that. A real trip down memory lane for me - watched the original transmission in my final year of university (so it brings back feelings of Finals anxiety!) This (and the other potter classic Pennies From Heaven) have to be in the top 10 list of the best things, made for TV, anywhere, ever.

@liberalguilt Thanks a lot for commenting, I feel the same way. Take care.

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

My "5 OF 6 - The Singing Detective" video (ONLY Ep 5 OF 6 IS AFFECTED; 1 2 3 4 6 ARE OK) is blocked in the US for copyright issue. I know how to make it available again but it will take some days.

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

@PalerShadeOfWhite **** The problem with Ep 5 has been circumvented. ****

[edob01]

Amazing! How can TV from that long ago be this good and yet TV now is so shit?

Not being a weirdy nostalgia-type or anything, just can't believe how good this series was . . . Potter was a genius.

[SherrifOfNothingham]

Thanks for posting this brilliant series. I bought the DVD set many years ago and I never tire of this masterpiece! I like your Genesis clips also!

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

@AmariYuful Yes, when I found the series I knew I had to post it on YT. You're very welcome.

[headburglar]

oh man! thank you so much for uploading this! totally surprised that my last ditch effort to find it here was successful : D just watched 12 monkeys yesterday and was reminded that i need to watch this now.

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

@headburglar I know what you mean, I was ecstatic to find the entire series in torrents, just a few weeks ago. Ironically, it is you who have done me a great favor by letting me know about "12 Monkeys"---I had never heard of it. I'm watching it today. Thanks for making the effort to comment.
