A new series from Russell T Davies, "It's a sin", is out. Set in the '80s, it's about a gay community in London at the time AIDS began to spread. I watched four episodes yesterday and the last one today and wish I didn't because it's over now ( Read more... )

I thought I had enough Victorian times on TV for a while, but then I found Quacks - a BBC comedy set in nineteenth century. It's about four doctors - a surgeon, a dentist, a psychiatrist and... a woman who can't become a doctor, but has great medical knowledge, in the era of experiments (how much ether can you give a patient so he doesn't feel pain ( Read more... )
