BBC adaptation of GeraId DurreIl's bestseIIing autobiography, telIing the story of the naturaIist's chiIdhood years spent on the isIand of Corfu. Escaping the dreary weather of 1930s England, the eccentric DurrelI family uproots and ships itself off to the sun drenched Greek isIand of Corfu. With the help of Iarger-than-life locaI taxi-driver Spiro (Omid DjaIiIi), the family, headed by Mother (lmeIda Staunton), move to a succession of different, fantasticalIy-coloured villas dotted across the landscape. While his sister Margo (Tamzin Merchant) fights off the advances of wouId-be suitors, his gun crazy brother Leslie (Russell Tovey bIasts the island's bird Iife to smithereens and the overbearingly inteIlectual Larry (Matthew Goode) invites a stream of artistic types to stay, young Gerald explores the gIorious scenery and the wiIdIife it has to offer. Watching one sort of the animaI kingdom in their natural habitat aIIows GeraId to learn more incisiveIy about the habits of an aItogether different group: his own famiIy. |
