Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

      Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is a seven-part weekly British fantasy historical drama television series adapted from Susanna Clarke's best-selling novel of the same name.
The novel won the Hugo in 2005.
Set in England during the Napoleonic wars at the beginning of the 19th century, the series presents an alternate history where magic is widely acknowledged, but rarely practiced. Living in the rural north, Mr Norrell (Eddie Marsan) of Hurtfew Abbey is able to make the statues of York Minster talk and move. His manservant John Childermass (Enzo Cilenti) persuades him to travel to London to help in the war against France. While there, Mr Norrell encounters a leading member of the government and makes magic respectable in the realm when he conjures a fairy to bring the minister's fiancée (Alice Englert) back to life. Meanwhile, Jonathan Strange (Bertie Carvel) meets Vinculus (Paul Kaye), a street magician, while attempting to find a respectable profession, as demanded by his love Arabella (Charlotte Riley). Strange is told by Vinculus that he is destined to be a great magician and so he begins to study magic.

The series starts this Saturday and repeats during the week. You can watch the first episode online at the BBC's website.
