- The work of Damian Lewis has been celebrated this week on two different programs about outstanding television productions!
» Many US fans had the opportunity to watch the The Best of Masterpiece Theatre special on PBS last night. Derek Jacobi hosted the show which counted down the top 12 MT productions as selected by viewers. Damian Lewis was interviewed for the program because The Forsyte Saga was the second most popular series and Damian came in second after Derek Jacobi as “Leading Male Actor in a Period Drama.â€
Not all PBS stations aired the program last night so check your local listings, Susan shared the news that the show will broadcast in central Pennsylvania on March 11th and 12th.
» Hal4king posted information about The 50 Greatest TV Dramas which aired on Channel 4 in the UK on March 3rd. Top British television professionals were surveyed to compile a list of the greatest productions. Damian Lewis was interviewed for the program because he starred in two of the selected programs – Warriors (no. 32) and Band of Brothers (no. 50).
