EP1 Part 1 Jan 17, 2000

Titus - a son and heir for the 76th Earl of Groan - is born. In the castle's kitchens, a new kitchen boy, Steerpike, rebels against the cook, Swelter, and runs away. He invades the bedroom of Lord Groan's daughter, Lady Fuchsia, who finds herself strangely attracted to him and takes him on a visit to the family's physician, Dr Prunesquallor. Steerpike accepts a place as Prunesquallor's assistant, meaning a dramatic rise in his status, and is taken into the confidence of the Earl's twin sisters, Lady Cora and Lady Clarice. Working on the sisters' feelings of injustice, he persuades them to set fire to the castle library, dear to their brother's heart. Steerpike knows - but the sisters do not - that the rest of the family is in the library at the time, with the doors barred.

EP2 Part 2 Jan 24, 2000

Steerpike rescues the Groan family from the burning library and is the hero of the hour. Sepulchrave Groan goes mad with grief over the loss of his library. Believing he is an owl, he releases the owls in the Tower, and they attack and kill him. Titus becomes Earl of Groan. Flay annoys Lady Groan and is ordered out of the castle. He observes from afar the new Earl's coronation, at which Steerpike cuts a prominent figure.

EP3 Part 3 Jan 31, 2000

Steerpike becomes the deputy of Barquentine, master of the castle's rituals. He imprisons Clarice and Cora, faking their deaths, kills Nannie Slagg, and continues to pay court to Fuchsia. Titus begins his education at the castle's dusty school, and Prunesquallor's unmarried sister, Irma, falls in love with Professor Bellgrove, now the school's headmaster. As the years go by, Titus finds the castle's rituals more and more hateful, focussing his hostility on Steerpike. He finds a forgotten passage, leading outside the castle walls. Venturing into the world outside for the first time, he meets the exiled Flay.

EP4 Part 4 Feb 07, 2000

The elderly Barquentine clings onto his office. Frustrated, Steerpike kills him by fire, but he is left with his own face badly burnt. However, he takes over running the castle and continues to woo Fuchsia. Flay returns from exile and joins forces with Titus against Steerpike. They find him with the skeletons of Clarice and Cora, and Steerpike kills Flay and escapes. As Titus hunts Steerpike, Fuchsia refuses to hide him, killing herself instead. Titus and Steerpike fight to the death.

Reviews

mcdeanwirth I love the BBC series dearly but there's more to be done, let's see Peter Jackson do this in a 3 movie trilogy and well they'd be hard up to match this one in acting and all but I'd see all three on opening day and I love the books and series but the world is waiting or am I mad?? The aging of the characters is a flaw due to budget restraints. I wouldn't be the one to be up to task to match this brilliant series for sure. But the series omitted some minor things that could be used and special effects of course. Maybe use some of the original cast. The series only contains the first two books. All actors in series were outstanding.

Mandemus I read some Mervyn Peake years ago, so I know a little of his penchant for the bizarre and his love of language. I was ready to like Gormenghast, which I had not read before. This didn't work for me at all, and now I have no desire to go back an read the original.Positive: good production values, typical of British period film-making. Good actors, many familiar faces again from other UK TV films.Review. I found no characters with enough redeeming qualities to relate to in any fashion. The message is negative, ugly, gruesome, grotesque and distasteful. Likely someone involved with the production would argue that that is just the point: this is an allegory of a brutal, hateful and inhumane society. That it is, but I don't want to watch it! For entertainment to work, you have to have something that the typical human viewers can latch on to, usually by being able to empathize with at least one character. I particularly found the incessant squealing, whining, aching, hurting, yelling, and hollering of just about every character in the production very grating after only a few minutes into the film. An unpleasant viewing experience altogether.

emilyharmsen This is one of the best miniseries I have ever seen. It's like Lord of the Rings, only without the Hobbits. If only they would show us the lovely face of Steerpike again...sigh... They don't make them any better in my book. The acting, the background, the lines: all brilliant!

xaomeow I don't think there are any spoilers in this but I suppose the bit I say about the main character could be considered one so to be safe I put this warning in so I don't get blacklisted :)Now that taken care of I can't say much more than what the previous person commented since I pretty much agree with her though I haven't read the books (but now knowing there are some I am very much interested in reading them now :) The main character is, in my opinion, gorgeous and the way he plays people off one another I find incredibly fascinating and fun to watch. I was shown this mini by a friend of mine who has an interest in surreality as much as I do. So yea, I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a good surreal fantasy story!
