Fans of popular fiction writer Ken Follett recognize him among the handful of natural storytellers with a gift of never standing in the way of letting the story run its course. His great tale of the centuries-long struggle to build an English cathedral has been nicely realized in a truly epic eight-part (430 minutes) miniseries.Rising from the shadows of Britain's war-torn Dark Ages, Rufus Sewell is Tom Builder, an idealistic mason with a vision of a glorious cathedral "bathed in light." But his quest to construct such an edifice to God's glory threatens to expose the dark secrets of ambitious Bishop Waleran Bigod (a terrific Ian McShane). And there's the squabbling offspring of King Henry, Queen Maud and King Stephen who are equally determined to keep those secrets safe.Interesting extras take you behind the scenes with a look at the remarkable sets, effects and story craft involved.
