Masterpiece brings the drama of long-ago soap opera legend Noele “Nolly” Gordon and a love story for the ages to its lineup beginning Sunday, March 17 on PBS Wisconsin.
Nolly on Masterpiece
Premieres 8 p.m. Sunday, March 17
Helena Bonham Carter stars as soap opera legend Noele “Nolly” Gordon, one of the most famous faces on British TV in the 1960s and ’70s, whose unceremonious firing from her hit show at the height of her career was front-page news.
A bold exploration of how the establishment turns on women who refuse to play by the rules, Nolly is an outrageously fun and wildly entertaining ride through Gordon’s most tumultuous years, and a sharp, affectionate and heart-breaking portrait of a forgotten icon.
Alice & Jack on Masterpiece
Premieres 9 p.m. Sunday, March 17
Andrea Riseborough and Domhnall Gleeson star in this love story for the ages written by Victor Levin.
When Alice (Riseborough) and Jack (Gleeson) first meet, they’re bound by a connection so powerful it seems nothing can break it, but will their path lead them to a place of happiness and togetherness? Or will life and their own emotional complexities get in the way?
Honest, intimate and surprisingly funny, the series shows love in all its unexpected, technicolor, kaleidoscopic beauty.
Gordon Gavin says:
“All Creatures Great and Small” is a wonderful feel-good series but I also really enjoy recent British/Irish crime series such as “PayBack”, “Redemption”, “Line of Duty”, “Happy Valley”, “Unforgotten”, “Shetland”, “Blue Lights”, etc.. Essentially I really enjoy shows comparable with “Broadchurch”, “The Fall”, “Prime Suspect” and so on.
Thanks for ‘listening’.
B Elizabeth Levine says:
As a single “empty nester”, I have discovered the rich & broad delights of PBS. I look forward to learning from the new shows. Currently my favorite ones include “ALL CREATURES…”and the ending”DOC MARTIN”. My love for Herriot’s narratives began when I showcased & bought his enchanting children’s books(beautifully illustrated, too!)when co-owned Chrn’sBkStore❣️

Happy to learn that Masterpiece is again outdoing itself.
Ken Kornick says:
I’d be a lot happier with new seasons of Vienna Blood, World on Fire & Sanction. What I’m really tired of is old English detective shows. How is that ” Masterpiece”?
Cindy Lauder Woudstra says:
Oh boy, I can hardly wait! 😊

They both sound great.

Looking forward to both new series.
