Should this come on TV again, or if you happen to come across the DVD, I strongly urge you to watch it. This mini series is possibly the best made-for-TV production in decades. It has an amazing cast of British greats including Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Christopher Lee, Richard Griffiths, Fiona Shaw, Zoë Wanamaker, Lynsey Baxter and Stephan Fry, but don't think you should watch it just for it's star power. Had it been made with a cast of unknowns, it still would have been fantastic. Gormenghast is brilliant, it's plot is strange, twisted and dark and comes from a mind of great imagination. Originally a novel by Mervyn Peake, it has been conveyed perfectly to the screen. This is a series that is 100% deserving of a look in.
