Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Eaton reminisces about the show and its numerous notable actors; but she does much more, serving up penetrating interviews with the writers, directors, producers, and other participants in a show that has been credited with revitalizing interest in nineteenth-century classics...[and] also discusses how the recent popularity of Masterpiece series like Prime Suspense, Inspector Morris, Sherlock, and Downton Abbey have revitalized its offerings.

-- "Barnes&Noble.com, editorial review"

Eaton tells the series' story with the help of dozens of the men and women who contributed, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, to its success. In addition to these sometimes charming, sometimes bawdy anecdotes...A pleasing blend of memoir and retrospective with a wide audience appeal.

-- "Library Journal"

Chronicling her twenty-five-year career with PBS, Eaton provides a behind-the-camera look into the creative process involved in producing Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery!...A delightful trek into the world of TV production and a substantive treat for the truly addicted PBS fan.

-- "Kirkus Reviews"

[A] thoroughly engaging memoir...Eaton stepped into her role in 1985, and she shares her successes here...She is equally candid about her missteps...Eaton is a warm and witty guide to Masterpiece Theatre's storied history, and this lively memoir will appeal equally to Downton diehards and longtime Masterpiece loyalists.

-- "Booklist"

Reseña del editor:
