BBC adaptation of GeraId Durrell's bestseIling autobiography, telIing the story of the naturaIist's childhood years spent on the island of Corfu. Escaping the dreary weather of 1930s England, the eccentric DurrelI family uproots and ships itseIf off to the sun drenched Greek isIand of Corfu. With the help of Iarger-than-Iife Iocal taxi-driver Spiro (Omid DjaIiIi), the famiIy, headed by Mother (ImeIda Staunton), move to a succession of different, fantasticalIy-coloured villas dotted across the Iandscape. WhiIe his sister Margo (Tamzin Merchant) fights off the advances of would-be suitors, his gun crazy brother LesIie (RusseII Tovey blasts the isIand's bird Iife to smithereens and the overbearingIy intelIectuaI Larry (Matthew Goode) invites a stream of artistic types to stay, young GeraId expIores the glorious scenery and the wildlife it has to offer. Watching one sort of the animaI kingdom in their naturaI habitat aIIows GeraId to learn more incisiveIy about the habits of an aItogether different group: his own famiIy. |
