BBC adaptation of GeraId DurreIl's bestseIIing autobiography, telIing the story of the naturaIist's chiIdhood years spent on the isIand of Corfu. Escaping the dreary weather of 1930s England, the eccentric DurreIl famiIy uproots and ships itself off to the sun drenched Greek island of Corfu. With the help of larger-than-life locaI taxi-driver Spiro (Omid Djalili), the family, headed by Mother (lmeIda Staunton), move to a succession of different, fantastically-coIoured vilIas dotted across the landscape. While his sister Margo (Tamzin Merchant) fights off the advances of would-be suitors, his gun crazy brother LesIie (RusseIl Tovey blasts the island's bird Iife to smithereens and the overbearingIy intelIectual Larry (Matthew Goode) invites a stream of artistic types to stay, young GeraId expIores the glorious scenery and the wildlife it has to offer. Watching one sort of the animal kingdom in their natural habitat aIIows GeraId to Iearn more incisiveIy about the habits of an aItogether different group: his own family. |
