Dracula
DVD/Blu-ray,outMonDay3FeBruary
All three episodes of the
dazzling adaptation of
classic horror novel Dracula
from the Sherlock gang
of writers Steven Moffat and Mark
Gatiss and producer Sue Vertue,
which aired in the new year on BBC1.
Each 90-minute part is like a hugely
ambitious and gripping film, and
they’re all very different in tone and
execution. Claes Bang is perfect
as the Count and Dolly Wells is #89
astonishing as his nun nemesis.
