This week the Mjolnir at the Movies crew continues the Mjolnir at the Miniseries on G.B.H. by Alan Bleasdale. *Part 2 of 4*. We look in on episodes 2 and 3 in particular, which gives us an excuse to address many aspects of Leftist politics, such as atheism and equality as religiosities, Tony Benn and attitudes to aristocracy, trade unions, the education system, class war and snobbery, attitudes to corporal and capital punishment, and much more....
Originally broadcast in 1991 on Channel 4 (still viewable on their website via the 4 on demand streaming service area which works for UK IP addresses), but otherwise of limited availability (DVDs might be available in your area) and almost forgotten today beyond some with good taste and memories for TV. This is the *second* part in what is planned to be a four part Mjolnir miniseries to discuss this TV miniseries. We'll be back to movies soon (possibly with a movie discussion intermission to break up this miniseries too, to suit the wider audience).
An impressive cast of well known British TV actors are included and some such as Michael Palin that would be recognized internationally. Lead actors Michael Palin and Robert Lyndsey both consider this to be the best or one of the best things they've ever acted in with Michael specifically quoted as saying it was some of the most powerful acting he's ever done. Well worth watching this series before or along with us in these episodes if you can somehow. There will be spoilers! This series should not be forgotten, but over this course of our discussions you might find out why some would want it forgotten....
