in praise of BBC mini-series

How many times have you wished that your favorite film was longer? (A sequel isn't the same because it comes 2 years or more later.)

Welcome to the BBC 6-hour dramas. This format is unique to England, and never caught on here in the U.S. It's resulted in some of the best TV shows of all time. In almost all cases, they're based on great novels. Here's our top 4 list:

1. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
2. A Very British Coup
3. Cambridge Spies
4. House Of Cards

What's your favorite?
