Just when I thought TV wasn't good anymore....

BBC AMERICA is bringing out a new made for TV movie on Sunday night that is going to knock your socks off.

I just watched the preview for OCCUPATION.  It stars James Nesbitt, an English actor destined to become one of the best of his generation.  He starred several year ago in a mini-series called Jekyll and he's brilliant.
 

BBC America says this about Occupation:

"Occupation traces the lives of three British soldiers, following them from the first moments of the invasion of Basra in April 2003 to the present. Each man finds himself deeply transformed by his experiences."

Just watch the trailer and then set your DVR or watch this Sunday night.
This is as riveting as TV can get.  Desperate House what?  Brothers and Sisters who?























On a ligher note....
Along the same premise as The Hotel Inspector, BBC America will premiere tonight

MARY, QUEEN OF SHOPS


 Retail guru Mary Portas goes into struggling shops and helps coach them to become successful.
Just like Ruth Watson of Hotel Inspector, she pays surprise visits to the stores when the owners are not there and then sits down with them for a frank heart to heart talk.  I know some of you don't really like "reality programs" but I find these BBC shows a hoot!  And if Mary is anything like Ruth well there is plenty of comedy in the reaction of how the men take her blunt critique of their boutique!
(That was not planned but cute huh?)

Tune in tonight on BBC AMERICA at 9PM.
Let the fashion fly!


Later,
GMan
