## Description

Three-part BBC television miniseries about the notorious 18th century lothario, written by Russell T. Davies and starring David Tennant and Peter O'Toole. The aged Casanova (O'Toole) is living out his days as the custodian of a library in Bohemia when he meets young serving girl Edith (Rose Byrne). He begins to tell her about his infamous escapades as a young man (played by Tennant), when he scandalised Europe and was exiled from his native Venice for crimes against the government and church. Wandering through Enlightenment Europe, Casanova reinvents himself constantly as a poet, philosopher, spy, black magician, petty conman and, of course, lover, eventually incurring the wrath of the Venetian ambassador to Britain, Grimani (Rupert Penry-Jones), after he falls in love with his wife, Henriette (Laura Fraser). Wounded in a duel with Grimani, Casanova returns home but is unable to forget the one woman he truly loves.

Review: A Winning Combination - I enviously watched the trailers for Casanova when I didn't have access to BBC3 - I thought it looked like an exciting, colourful romp. I waited everso patiently until it was repeated on BBC1 and was not disappointed in the least. Peter O'Toole is brilliantly cast as the older Casanova, remembering his past and all the women he had ever loved. His portrayal was poignant and sometimes a little scary, but as his quest for Henriette comes to a close you really do feel sorry for the man with so much potential having become a fairly lowly Librarian and object of ridicule. Laura Fraser is stunning as Henriette - the kind of enigmatic and beautiful woman we all strive unsuccessfully to be! Rose Byrne is the picture of innocence and amused shock at the older man's tales. Both women play their parts beautifully. Russell T Davies' writing was already known to me to be something special, my particular favourite being 'Queer As Folk'. Again, he manages to give us a lively tale with great one-liners, action, punches and sex - lots of it. The way he explores Jack's fears over falling in love with Bellino is brilliantly done and he doesn't shy away from controversial topics (In fact, such topics are becoming more mainstream and less hidden thanks mainly to people like him). And finally ... how could I review this without mentioning David Tennant? I can't. That man is such a talented actor, he makes every part his. He is quirky, cheeky and devillishly charming. A previous review said that RTD wanted to steer away from someone conventionally handsome for the part - maybe David Tennant isn't conventionally handsome, but I certainly wouldn't kick him out of bed! This is a must for any fan of Russell T Davies or David Tennant; they are a winning combination as Doctor Who's tenth incarnation only proves.
Review: Great DVD - Great condition. Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Winning Combination

This represents a wonderful piece of work by David Tennant from shortly before he started in his timelord role as Doctor Who. And this work is made even better by also featuring the great Peter O'Toole. Unfortunately, for reasons that will be obvious when you watch it, we don't get to see the two of them playing on-screen together - a pity, given the dynamism that would most likely have produced. There's also what I consider to be a nice cameo part, played by some guy called Matt Lucas. Oh, and Rupert Penry-Jones, also known for his role in "Spooks" plays the "bad guy" role very well too. But I shouldn't single out any of the actors really, because everyone in the film gives a great performance. The Casanova story is beautifully written in a very tongue-in-cheek style, with plenty of modern references, by Russell T Davies (who, of course, was also later responsible for the brilliantly successful resurrection of The Doctor). It's a long film, at three hours, though when it was originally shown on TV, it was as a short series of one-hour episodes. But many will enjoy watching the film all in one sitting, because it never flags or fails to hold your interest. Naturally, there are some sex scenes, but there's nothing that should cause any offence to anyone with an open mind and a sense of humour! All-in-all, I'd say that this film belongs firmly in my all-time top twenty 'greats' and will, I'm sure, be regarded as a 'classic' in the fullness of time. The acting, scriptwriting and production are all superb, but most of all, if you watch it, you'll be entertained wonderfully - and that's what it's all about, isn't it?
