From Library Journal:

Longtime Masterpiece Theatre viewers will be enthralled by this beautiful and educational commemorative volume. A selection of critical essays, focusing on the series' most popular productions, provide more than just plot synopses. Each essay contains background details, literary and character analyses, lavish photos, celebrity quotes, informative sidebars, and cast/production credits for such memorable programs as Upstairs Downstairs, the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, Bleak House, and I, Claudius. Interviews with producers and hosts (of course, Alaistair Cooke), biographies of leading actors, and a trivia quiz round out the fare. The total effect is stunning. One can only lament that editor O'Flaherty (former TV critic, San Francisco Chronicle) did not have room enough to include everything broadcast in this series over the years. For large media collections.?Carol J. Binkowski, Bloomfield, N.J.
