From the "This Can't be Possible, But It Is" file: Gormenghast mini-series trivia

[matrixrefugee]

Just been poking around on IMDB.com's page on the BBC miniseries version of "the bricks" (turns out there was an Australian miniseries in the 1980s, but it didn't do well and has been lost: from everything I've run across, it doesn't appear there are any copies of the tapes of it anywhere, though some soul with a BetaMax might have recorded it, for all we know...), because for chuckles, I wanted to know what was the date of the US airing of it (on PBS, starting with WGBH, here in the Boston, MA. area).


The UK. airing date was January 17, 2000, which means we're coming up on the tenth anniversary of it (I may re-view it then and do a bit more of the infamous headspace commentary of it). And the US airing date was.....

June 10th, 2000, yours truly's birthday. I can't help smiling at this, for some reason, and it's like finding out I got a birthday present without knowing about it.
