Spellbinding fantasy tale of strange powers

JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR NORREL

In 19th Century England, Mr Norrell (Eddie Marsan, near right, with Marc Warren) revives the ancient practice of magic thereby attracting the attention of the authorities, who are interested in its possible military applications. But Norrell makes a bargain with a fairy – and such deals always end in tears. The cast includes Bertie Carvel, Charlotte Riley and Samuel West. BritBox, available now
