4 years ago when I was 15 years old I stumbled upon this incredible family drama programme and last weekend (Sunday 12th May 2019) the last ever episode of the last ever series aired.
What thoroughly grabbed my attention to begin with was the fact that it was based upon Gerald Durrells biographical novel: My Family And Other Animals.
This moving drama tells the story of The (real life) Durrell family who moved from England to Corfu for a holiday but ended up living there. The programme expertly tells a (slightly different) sequence of stories of The Durrell family through Keeley Hawes as Mum/Louisa Durrell, Josh O’Connor as Larry/Lawrence Durrell, Callum Woodhouse as Leslie Durrell, Daisy Waterstone as Margo Durrell and playing the leading man himself as a young boy Milo Parker as Gerry/Gerald Durrell.
