The Search for the Nile (1971– )

Amazing BBC Mini Series Far Ahead Of Its Time

[10/10 · 31 March 2012]

I watched this mini series again last week and I had forgotten how superior the mini series is."Search For The Nile" is an amazing BBC mini series and I believe that "Search For The Nile" is far ahead of its time."Search For The Nile" has a real advantage.That advantage is James Mason doing the superb narration throughout the almost six hours of programming.I love British mini series such as the 1995 version of "Pride And Prejudice" starring Colin Firth and "Vanity Fair" that came out around the same time and aired on the now lousy A&E Television network on cable or satellite.I remember the made for television mini series that aired on the three prime time networks back in the 1970s and the 1980s.Some of them were excellent like "Search For The Nile".When you start watching this series you won't want to stop the DVD and take a break.That is how good this series is."Shackleton" with Kenneth Brannagh is a mini series that is almost as good as "Search For The Nile".I highly recommend this program to viewers of all ages except for small children.I have this movie.
