    "Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake."

- Napoleon (as quoted, I believe, in the first episode of Jonathon Strange & Mister Norrell)

If you get a chance to watch the BBC adaption, it appears well worth it, from the first episode.

!! That's out? Or just the first bit? Time to christen my new internet connection with an illegal fucking download.

Is it available on Netflix or anywhere where I can pay a reasonable amount of money for it? I can't believe i didn't know that this existed...

I'm glad its a series and not a film, they'll be able to give it the scope it deserves. I'm psyched!!!!!! My wife will be thrilled. We both loved the book.

Only season 1. I just stole it if you want to hit me with dropbox info I can get it to you maybe, pending my dropbox's size these days.

If you're trying to pay I'm less of an expert there.
