Review: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
DVD: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2015 – ) Epic TV featuring world famous actors has more or less overtaken cinema. Game Of Thrones has brought fantasy back to the forefront, and being able to zip through a box set on disc or online is now the norm. So for the BBC to give us […]
