TV6.7DramaHow Green Was My Valley is a six-part television miniseries adapted by Elaine Morgan, based on Richard Llewellyn's eponymous 1939 novel. The serial is produced by the BBC and 20th Century Fox Television for BBC Two—the latter's involvement is due to their ownership of the rights to the novel and its subsequent Oscar-winning 1941 film. Huw Morgan, the academically inclined youngest son in a proud family of Welsh coal miners, witnesses the tumultuous events of his young life during a period of rapid social change. At the dawn of the 20th-century, a miners' strike divides the Morgans: the sons demand improvements, and the father doesn't want to rock the boat.

For two characters who appeared in a single May 1982 episode, The Brothers McGregor was very popular, running for four series.

The Government Inspector is nothing short of the greatest play in Russian. This deserves to be available to anyone interested and an updated remake is long overdue. It is a satire on the shallowness of government officials and tells us timeless truths about the human condition.
