Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - Chapter 1
We begin tonight in a Jerusalem dungeon — the twelfth century, torchlight on cold stone, and two prisoners with one plan between them. One is Robin of Locksley, an English lord. The other is Azeem. By the end of this chapter, a debt is struck that will carry them both home to Eng
Pride and Prejudice – Part 1
Jane Austen was barely twenty-one when she first wrote this. Tonight, we begin at Longbourn, where Mrs. Bennet has just heard the news she has been waiting for: Netherfield Park has a new tenant. He is unmarried. He is rich. She has five daughters.
The Wizard of Oz - Part 1
Picture flat, gray Kansas — the baked earth, the bleached grass, the silence just before the wind begins to scream. Tonight, Dorothy's house rises into the cyclone and sets down, very gently, in a country of impossible colour — where the Munchkins are waiting, and something silve
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe – Chapter 1 & 2
We begin tonight in a rambling country house somewhere in England — a rainy morning, too many rooms to count, and four children sent away from London for the duration of the war. When the youngest, Lucy, steps into a wardrobe full of fur coats and keeps walking, the floor turns t
The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring) - Book 1 - Chapter 1 [ep 120]
Tonight, we step into the Shire for the first time — where old Bilbo Baggins has turned eleventy-one and thrown himself a party that the whole neighbourhood will talk about for years. He has a gold ring he's carried for sixty years tucked in his pocket. Tonight, he means to leave
Grimm Fairytales - [Part 1] Ep#80
Tonight, we open a book told and retold for two hundred years. Before the first witch steps out of the forest, we meet the two brothers who gathered these stories — sons of a Hessian lawyer in a Germany that didn't yet exist — and hear the voice that will carry them to you: limpi
Dracular [Chapter 1] - Ep #76
Tonight, Jonathan Harker boards a coach deep in the Carpathian Mountains and rides east toward a castle he cannot yet imagine. The peasants at roadside inns press crucifixes into his hands and beg him not to go. Ahead, through the mountain dark, blue flames flicker above the road
The Neverending Story - [Prologue] Ep#71
Tonight, we begin The Neverending Story on a cold, rainy November morning. A breathless boy named Bastian Balthazar Bux pushes open the door of a dusty bookshop and can't quite make himself leave — until his hand reaches for a copper-bound book on an old man's armchair, and somet
The Hobbit [Part 1] - Ep #5
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit — and tonight, we settle into it. We find Bilbo Baggins on a fine morning, pipe smoke curling into the blue, when a wizard with a very tall hat appears at the gate with an invitation Bilbo most emphatically does not want.
The Age of Innocence [Part 1] Ep #3
Tonight, we step inside the Academy of Music on a winter evening in Old New York — gas-lit, gilded, and governed by rules as precise as a minuet. Into the Mingott family box steps a woman who has fled a scandalous marriage in Europe, and the opera night becomes something nobody q
The Picture of Dorian Gray [Part 1] - Ep #1
Tonight, we step into a London studio heavy with roses and afternoon light, where a painter is finishing a portrait of the most beautiful man he has ever seen. Into the room walks Lord Henry Wotton, full of brilliant, dangerous ideas — and Dorian Gray is about to hear them for th
