  • The work of Damian Lewis has been celebrated this week on two different programs about outstanding television productions!

    » Many US fans had the opportunity to watch the The Best of Masterpiece Theatre special on PBS last night. Derek Jacobi hosted the show which counted down the top 12 MT productions as selected by viewers. Damian Lewis was interviewed for the program because The Forsyte Saga was the second most popular series and Damian came in second after Derek Jacobi as “Leading Male Actor in a Period Drama.”

    Not all PBS stations aired the program last night so check your local listings, Susan shared the news that the show will broadcast in central Pennsylvania on March 11th and 12th.
