Feathered Serpent: The Complete Series

You have to give the cast of this 1976 British TV drama a lot of credit: It couldn’t have been easy to keep from laughing — let along say your lines with any sense of real drama — while dressed up in the ridiculous costumes created for the show. (To be fair, maybe they didn’t look so silly 35 years ago.) To their credit, the performances are strong enough to make you stop giggling at the clothes after a few episodes so you can settle down and watch what is basically a soap opera about Pharaohs.
