![]() ![]() The series is also inspirational, for it is, implicitly, the story of the birth of scientific veterinary medicine. Each episode has a moral point to make and makes it subtly, through action not speeches. Based on the best-selling books by James Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small was one of the BBCs most popular drama series of the late 1970s and 1980s. Many people don't realize that these are not `warm, fuzzy' animal stories. And having a pint with the cast between shooting on location showed us how authentic the series is. Visiting that area is like stepping into the Herriott stories, as we discovered in 1982 and many subsequent visits. ![]() ![]() The series also captures the essence of the Yorkshire Dales: the lovely green hillsides, wide vistas and individualistic spirit. The vets, Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy and Peter Davison are especially true, as is Carol Drinkwater (most superior to her replacement as Helen). Derek, the pekingese who plays Tricki Woo Jester, the bull who plays Clive George the (noisy) donkey. Superb acting is expected in a British production, and this is no exception, as the actors do an amazing job of capturing the essence of the even the minor characters.

This constraint is the founding principle of her debut novel Sphinx, which recounts the love between two genderless characters: the narrator, a white theology student of bourgeois upbringing, and A***, an African-American cabaret dancer from Harlem. In this seemingly innocuous party distraction, the interrogator probes the identity of the hidden players while they both try to come across as women.įrench novelist Anne Garréta has defined the Turing constraint as the absence of any linguistic gender marker characterizing the narrator, enunciator, or protagonist. $14.95.Īlan Turing’s artificial intelligence test stems from a lesser-known imitation game involving three players: a man, a woman, and an interrogator of either gender. Dallas, TX: Deep Vellum Publishing, 2015. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even the episodes that do fail, I think suffer more from ineffective special effects and/or lackluster acting and dialogue than from Mr. However, what I like about this show is that ALL of the 65 episodes were written by one of the greatest American writers of the 20th Century! True there are some sleepers and stinkers in the bunch, but in general this is a very entertaining show. Like all anthology shows there are some bad episodes. Plus, the original opening to the show with Ray walking around his office was a lot more atmospheric and creepy than the later episodes on the USA Network. ![]() Personally, I think the show would have been better off if it would have stayed on HBO because the early episodes are a few minutes longer and being on a paid movie channel they attracted bigger names. It was moved to the USA Network and apparently thrived enough to have been on until the early 1990s. The Show began on HBO and showcased some high profile names from the 1980s. ![]() ![]() "Finally, The Ray Bradbury Theater is back on DVD!!! This forgotten classic is a must for all anthology lovers (Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Amazing Stories). ![]() ![]() What a great start to a new series by Darynda Jones. Can Sunshine face the call of duty-and find the kidnapper who’s terrorizing her beloved hometown-without falling head over high heels in love…or worse? With temperatures rising everywhere she turns, Del Sol’s normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger. This one’s got Levi, Sunshine’s sexy, almost-old-flame, and a fiery-hot US Marshal. Add to that the trouble at her daughter’s new school, plus and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy, and, well, the forecast looks anything but sunny.īut even clouds have their silver linings. But a teenage girl is missing, a kidnapper is on the loose, and all of this is reminding Sunshine why she left Del Sol in the first place. ![]() Sheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o’ joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol, New Mexico, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose.ĭel Sol, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers, strong cups of coffee-and, now, a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff-thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her-and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug. ![]() About A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones ![]() ![]() There are details of the narrative that seem to be there only because Griffith wanted to include something interesting she had learned about the early medieval period, and every one of these jostles our belief in the world she has constructed.īut this is the kind of novel you read in a few sittings or on the subway, glad to follow the meandering plot from battle to battle, intrigue to intrigue, barely keeping track of the shifting alliances and Old English names, all of it sweeping the merciful and shrewd Hild toward her exalted calling. ![]() To make sure we don't miss the point, Griffith has Fursey reveal his ignorance of sedimentation and the tremendous age of the earth: "It must have been a cataclysmic event: such a beast hurling itself into solid rock." The past on the page is a fragile reality, and the more distant the more fragile. ![]() ![]() The sole purpose of the exchange, as with certain scenes in the first season of "Mad Men," is to make the reader feel smug for understanding something the characters do not and could not: in this case, that Fursey has stumbled upon a fossilized dinosaur. There is a clumsy scene in which the Irish priest Fursey tells Hild of a dragon's skeleton he saw embedded in a cliff. Griffith does not always seem to understand how deadly cheap authorial irony is to historical fiction. ![]() ![]() The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere.
