Your boyfriend should be Sexby! Have you not seen "The Devil's Whore" yet?

No, we don't get British TV channels here in America, and you have to know how about a show or movie to seek it out in other ways. This is the first I've heard of this, and I had to Google it. It looks cool.

Sorry, I'd assumed that the *cough* "alternative ways" that allowed you to see Dr Who prior to airing in the US had provided you with the opportunity to see this.
I'd recommend the series. It's one of the best things I've seen all year.

Yes, those, ahem, alternative options are available, and I am now taking advantage of them, but I have to know about something in order to seek it out, and I only just heard about this from you here.

I second that recommendation - although I am laying claim to Sexby for myself.

According to amazon.co.uk the R2 DVD is released 9 February 2009.
Reading the prior publicity about this, I assumed that it was going to be historically accurate drama. The writer spent years researching it and created the lead character as someone who might have existed during the Civil War, conflating several real-life events into her experience.
Actually, it wasn't accurate and leaps about at an alarming pace. Once I'd got over the anticipation of having the Civil War dissected and analysed, and went with the flow, I started to enjoy it a lot more.
It has a strange quality about it, some of which comes, I think, from condensing the twelve episodes as written down to the four episodes that we ended up with.
