The series of books starting with "44 Scotland Street" is the best of all - Bertie is one of the true heroes of modern literature. "Corduroy Mansions" is still available on the Telegraph if you can be bothered to download all 100 chapters individually.

All-in-all, this is a delightful series that I heartily recommend. Now I just need to find out how to get to view the mini-series. I'm hoping PBS (or my local PBS station) will pick it up.
As an aside, if any intereset, this is now an HBO series (based on the first book) starring R&B songwriter, poet, singer Jill Scott. First episode was last Sunday.

TV Series
The tv series just started airing in the US on HBO. I watched the first episode and enjoyed it.

If it does well I would assume one of the more mainstream cable stations will pick it up?

Its actually a nice change of pace from the ususal tv series that HBO shows.
