This is Day #22 of the the 30 Day Television Challenge.

The prompt Television series or mini-series that took place in another era that you loved.

No television series prior to the 1970s, folks. I'm putting a stop to the - oh I remember watching this as a kid in the 1950s and 60s nostalgia trip you are all on. You can do that in your own journals.

Mine... "Call the Midwife"

It was so hard to choose just one. I ruled out all of the series I love which are set during my lifetime (The Crown, The Americans, and Aquarius), in favor of a historical drama based on one of Charles Dickens' best novels. This is episode one of Bleak House (2005) which someone has kindly uploaded to Daily Motion. The other 14 episodes may be there as well, I didn't check. It's also on Hulu and Britbox and YouTube, and on DVD, so available from your library, I would wager.

Gillian Anderson plays Lady Dedlock. She's brilliant as always. But the entire cast is great and with 15 episodes, it's a faithful adaption. I found it riveting.
