    This is Discovery's first fully scripted series, a dramatisation of the Yukon Gold Rush in the 1890s. Full details here:
    Starring homegrown talent including Richard Madden, Tim Roth, Ian Hart and Augustus Prew, the show has already been a ratings hit in the US pulling in 3.4 million viewers for its first episode. The five-part series tells the powerful story of the last great Gold Rush in our history.

    Klondike is based on the book Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike by Charlotte Gray. It brings to life the tale of seven strangers and their collective fight for survival and wealth in a small, frontier town in the remote Klondike. The journey begins in 1897 when two childhood best friends, Bill (Madden) and Epstein (Prew) make the perilous journey through the North American wilderness to Klondike boom town Dawson City, “The Paris of the North,” where neither law nor order prevailed.

    Metacritic's verdict so far: generally favourable. :cool:

    Each episode is repeated six times over the week, starting at 9PM on Thursday (2h episode).

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
