What TV’s on at the BFI in March 2012
Time for our regular look at the TV that the BFI is showing, this time in the month of March 2012. Highlight of the month is a Peter Cook season that includes episodes of Not Only But Also and Peter Cook and Co, as well as an extended version of the 60m version of Beyond the Fringe that the BBC showed. But there’s also a preview of ITV’s forthcoming Titanic and the next series of Horrible Histories, as well as some more Dickens, including the BBC’s Bleak House and some US TV adaptations of his work, and an ITV Chekhov play.
