Great British Railway Journeys

Great British Railway Journeys is a BBC documentary series presented by Michael Portillo, a former Conservative MP and Cabinet Minister who was instrumental in saving the Settle to Carlisle line from closure in 1989.[1][2] The programme was first broadcast in 2010 on BBC Two and has returned annually for a total of 11 series.

How do you like the most recent Dracula series?

Dracula is a British–American horror drama television series.[2] The series, a reimagining of Bram Stoker‘s novel Dracula, was produced by London-based Carnival Films; it aired in the United States on NBC and in the United Kingdom on Sky Living from October 25, 2013 to January 24, 2014. It was created by Cole Haddon and Daniel Knauff,[1][3] while Daniel Knauf served as showrunner and head writer.[4]

The series was given a straight-to-series commitment of ten episodes.[3][5] It was cancelled after one season.[6] Dracula arrives in London posing as Alexander Grayson, an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he seeks revenge on the Order of the Dragon, a power-hungry organisation who ruined his life centuries earlier. Abraham Van Helsing, who has freed Dracula from the prison the Order placed him in, is also out for revenge, and the two have formed an uneasy alliance. Their plans are complicated when Dracula becomes fascinated with Mina Murray, a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.[7]https://youtu.be/X9EHgfF6QoY
