The King

One obvious gap in the cast list: who plays the Raven King? Granted it would be a cameo, but I'd be awfully interested to know. Tigerboy1966 22:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

so far (after 5 episodes) the raven king has not been acted... fake book excepted... Qazwiz (talk) 05:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did the show play on the 14th?

havent seen 6th episode which is strange if it aired on 14th as listed. it should have shown by this morning at latest usually just four to six hours after airing. Qazwiz (talk) 05:30, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Miniseries?

I'm dubious about the article title: "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (miniseries)". Seven one-hour episodes might count as a miniseries by American standards, but by British TV standards it seems to me that "series" would be a better description. However since writing that I've discovered that Wikipedia has a definition of miniseries, and going by that definition I would seem to be wrong. JH (talk page) 20:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Has anyone actually said it is a miniseries. I read an article claiming that if it gained good ratings, there would be a second season, therefore it would not be a mini-series. In the UK, a miniseries would be up to around 3 episodes. Mcs2050wiki (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For there to be a second season, they would have to go beyond what is contained in the novel. Sadly, the ratings have been poor, so the question is moot. JH (talk page) 20:58, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The BBC have advertised it as a miniseries. [1] —Flax5 16:12, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yebbut that's BBC America. In its native land it's just a series as ~~the term "miniseries" is considered harmful~~ we don't differentiate TV programmes thus--Mr Larrington (talk) 04:05, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
