There are worse sins than looking like a Jane Austen movie.
In fact, with PBS' latest British hit import, the unfailingly entertaining Downton Abbey, it might even be a blessing.
The "upstairs" half of this upstairs/downstairs drama from Oscar winner Julian Fellowes(Gosford Park) is pure Austen, from its wit and compassion to its propriety obsessions, despite its 1912 setting. The comparison starts with the well-meaning proprietor of this sumptuous estate, the Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), who married his American wife, Cora (an exquisite Elizabeth McGovern), for her money and fell in love with her later.
At long last, the film is ready for public screening. We are thrilled and nervous about reaction to the newspapers' first documentary. It has been an emotional ride to say the least, probably the toughest assignment this film crew has ever had in their long journalistic career. It is a difficult subject but we hope those of you who can join us for the screening or can watch it on PBS will be pleased with the result. More than anything, we hope this film will provoke reflection and action so that a new Haiti can emerge.
Explore the many treasures hidden within your own neighborhood and discover the history and possible value they have to offer. Antiques Roadshow is back with their 15th season. Host Mark L. Walberg welcomes viewers to join the journey through Miami’s treasures for the first three episodes airing on Monday, January 3, 2011, January 10 and January 17 at 8:00 p.m on WPBT2.
The first three episodes of the season were shot this past summer on Miami Beach. The Miami crowd brought tons of unique objects, including one which yielded the highest value appraisal of the season: a cheerfully unassuming mobile received almost fifty years ago as a gift from Alexander Calder, valued at $400,000 to $1,000,000. Other treasures found in our city included an heirloom collection of vintage diamond jewelry, an 18th century Qing Dynasty vase, a 1956 Gretsch Chet Atkins guitar and many more.
In addition to the premiere of Antiques Roadshow’s new season, WPBT2 will air Antiques Roadshow Miami Beach: Back Stage on Monday, January 17 at 7:30 p.m. This 30 minute WPBT2 original documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of the making of America’s longest running reality show and offers a sneak peek at some of the historic and eclectic items brought in by Miami locals.
