...SUNDAYS, 9 P.M. E.T. Even at eight hours, this adaptation of Charles Dickens' tale of an interminable inheritance case is quite nimble a feat for writer Andrew Davies. The Masterpiece Theatre coproduction captures the novel's satire, melodrama and horror-movie suspense without undercutting any of those disparate tones. Gillian Anderson is haunting as Lady Dedlock, a claimant tormented by the mystery of a long-lost lover. But the emotional heart of the story is Esther (Anna Maxwell Martin), the sensible orphan caught up in the suit. This is law drama such as Boston Legal's David E. Kelley...

Luckily for coach Mark Hudak, senior Tiffany Hagge returns to spearhead the country’s third-best scoring offense from last season.

...local identity alive creates problems as newcomers buy, for outrageous amounts, the crumbling buildings that represent the last-century lives of the vanishing generation.

For most of us, it's important to know our cultural identity, but at what expense do we try to keep it? If not for the constant change and development of cultures...
...clown shoes," he says. In fact, they're his farm boots, which bear the U.S. brand name of Providence. An apt choice, since Neill is the most accidental of actors. It was while directing documentaries for the New Zealand National Film Unit that he was asked by director Gillian Armstrong to audition for My Brilliant Career (perhaps she saw something of landed gent Harry Beecham in Neill, whose family founded one of the New Zealand's largest liquor importers). And it was while filming a TV costume drama in Melbourne a few years later that he was phoned by actor...
