Poliakoff library

I never cease to be amazed at what one finds in the local library in a small town in Florida. During a wet few days, due to a stalled hurricane, I borrowed a DVD with Timothy Spall's name on the box expecting it to be a two hour movie. Was I ever surprised! This was one of the most riveting stories I have ever seen, and I watched the entire saga in one sitting. The series achieved critical acclaim with Gambon winning the BAFTA’s Best Actor and the show won the Royal Television Society award for Best Serial and Best Writer and Poliakoff was awarded the BAFTA Dennis Potter Award. International acclaim included winning a Peabody award and being nominated for an International Emmy award.
