Reviews A-Z

Covington Cross (1992)

In 14th century England, the Grey family deal with romance, political intrigue, and war. This much maligned and heavily criticised series, cancelled during its first run, is deserving of a reappraisal

Cowboy Bebop (1998)

A band of outcasted misfits travel aimlessly through a colonized solar system in the year 2071. The show that arguably influenced director Quentin Tarantino, who drew from it in his film "Kill Bill: Vol. 1"

Cracker (1993)

Possibly the starkest, darkest, popular drama series to have emerge from a British Television company since the classic Edge of Darkness, Granada Television's Cracker was an instant success.

Crackerjack (1955)

"It's Friday, it's five o'clock, yes it's Crackerjack!" From 1955 and for almost 40 years the BBC bought us children's entertainment in front of a live theatre audience. For many, Crackerjack is remembered with great nostalgia and even greater affection and is very firmly placed in the annals of television history.

Crane (1963)

Richard Crane gives up the life of a city businessman for one of excitement and adventure in Morocco, buys himself a boat and opens a beachfront bar near Casablanca. He also has a nice little operation dealing in illegal contraband

Cranford (1951-1972-2007)

Elizabeth Gaskell’s charming tale of a fictional Cheshire town and its eccentric characters has been adapted for TV three times by the BBC. In this review, we take a look at all three productions

The Creature (1955)

Nigel Kneale's gripping tale of a party of explorers who arrive in Tibet, in search of the legendary Abominable Snowman. A classic 'lost' BBC play
