Day 16 - Favorite mini-series:
Pride & Prejudice (1995)
Alice in Wonderland (1985)


At first, I didn't think I could come up with anything for this, and then I realized I had two, lol.

The BBC version of Pride & Prejudice starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is just... delicious! It doesn't even matter that you don't see them kiss until the very end when they're married, lol! DARE you not to fall in love with Colin's Mr. Darcy!! I liked the Keira Knightley movie, but this is my version. I love it - all 6 parts! Although, I'll admit a particular fondness for part 4. Especially, this scene :)



My second choice, I always think of as a TV movie, but it did air in two parts, so I guess it would be a mini-series. The 1985 Alice in Wonderland is my favorite Alice. Had it taped off TV and watched it lotslots! It was a musical and it was filled with wonderfully old and random stars! Carol Channing as the White Queen! Red Buttons as the White Rabbit! Steve & Eydie as Tweedledum and Tweedledee! Ringo Starr as the Mock Turtle! Oh, Scott Baio and John Stamos show up, too! lol

Here's one of my favorite parts... Sammy Davis Jr. as the Caterpillar, doing a song and dance with the marvelous Natalie Gregory, who played Alice. Magic :):)
