Might & magic
It may have been a long time coming, but the first trailer for the Beeb's adaptation of door-stopping fantasy novel Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell has finally surfaced online.
Clocking in at just 1 minute, the trailer doesn't give much away, but it does allow us to get a good look at principal cast, including the fantastic Eddie Marsan as stuffy magician Gilbert Norrell, and
Bertie Carvel as his protege/nemesis, the devil-may-care Jonathan Strange.
A release date for the series has yet to be confirmed, but it should be on our screens before the end of the year. In the meantime, I heartily recommend swinging by your favourite bookshop and snagging a copy of Susannah Clarke's novel for yourself; it's a witty, wonderful fantasy epic that's quite unlike anything else out there.
