Casanova in the News

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has an article about Casanova, which starts of the new season of Masterpiece Theater this weekend on Public Television. They point out in the article that this might be something that appeals to people beyond the usual Masterpiece Theater crowd, and that Casanova at moments is delightfully funny.

The Masterpiece Theatre site has a page about Casanova. October 8th and 15th on PBS. See David Tennant in the role that led to him getting the part as the Tenth Doctor.

Masterpiece Theater: Casanova

Russell T Davies version of Casanova will indeed be on Masterpiece Theater in October, as you can see on WGBH's schedule. The DVD is scheduled to be released on October 17th, immediately after it airs on PBS.

There is little doubtCasanova is basically David Tennant's screentest for Doctor Who, and it seems especially fitting that it will be on Masterpiece Theater at roughly the same time as his episodes of Doctor Who start on the Sci Fi Channel. It is delightfully anachronistic at times, and quite fun and I recommend it.

David Tennant was also on BBC America tonight as they aired Secret Smile.
