    Lost prince

    This BBC drama was well received when it was aired as a two part special, and skirts comfortable territory for BBC costume drama afficionados - England's Royal Family around the time of the second World War. it is the kind of thing British televsion does particularly well.

    Unfolding the quiet story of the epileptic Prince John takes skill, and

    a superb cast handles the job with low-keyed professionalism. Especially memorable is Miranda Richardson as the prince's mother Queen Mary, tied to a rigid sense of duty but concerned, too, for her son.

    A mini series that encompasses the Great War, the Russian revolution,

    and the suffragette movement is well worth the effort to see. And kids

    will like this, too.

    A CHARMING PRODUCTION

    I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem - another triumph for Stephen Poliakoff. I was beautifully done and portrayed life within the royal family at that time and their shame of what was considered unacceptable within their ranks. Lovely family viewing and easy to watch.

    Emmys evade beaten Brits

    • 19 Sep 2005

    British actors endured a disappointing evening at the 57th Emmy Awards in Los Angeles last night, as Lost, Desperate Housewives and Everybody Loves Raymond hogged the headlines. Hugh Laurie, Ian McShane and Kenneth Branagh had all been nominated for awards, yet left empty-handed. It was not all bad news though for the British contingent, as the BBC's The Lost Prince, starring Miranda Richardson, was voted best miniseries. The best drama award went to overnight hit Lost while Everybody Loves... Read more
