SMALL ISLAND

I was peeping through some other blogs and I ran across the mentioning of a new PBS series titled: SMALL ISLAND. The BBC produced two-parter has already aired on PBS stations, but for a limited time, you can watch both episodes at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/smallisland/index.html
The story is set in the past and introduces us to some dynamic characters. There is a nice history lesson in this tale of England and Jamaica, the war and racial tensions. Hurry to watch this before it is no longer available, although I'm sure it will be released on DVD.

If you need 2 reasons to watch, check out actors: David Oyelowo as Gilbert last seen as the cheating husband in the HBO series The First Ladies Detective Agency starring Jill Scott...and actor Ashley Walters who I predict will be a big star; he smolders on the screen in the role of Michael who stirs the desires of two very different women. Ashley has these dreamy eyes and a smooth gravelly voice that is too much...well, see for yourselves when you watch online http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/smallisland/watch.html
