The Little House book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder has been a
favorite of children, teachers, and parents around the world for
over 80 years. The author and her books have also inspired museums,
libraries, a U.S. postage stamp, stage adaptations, historic
highways, a LauraPalooza conference attended by fans and scholars,
and a crater on Venus. As Wilder fans celebrate the 85th
anniversary of the publication of Little House on the Prairie,
American Masters is pleased to premiere Laura Ingalls Wilder:
Prairie to Page. The film explores the cultural legacy and
complicated history of the unlikely author – a Midwestern farm
woman who published her first novel at age 65 – and reveals how she
transformed her early life into enduring legend, a process that
involved a little-known collaboration with her daughter Rose.

Last year at this time, no one could have imagined what an
exceptionally challenging year 2020 would be. As we begin the
holiday season and welcome a brand new year, we wish you peace and
good health, and hope you enjoy our bounty of holiday treats – from
festive specials that celebrate the joys of the season to uplifting
music programs and binge-worthy dramas. Thank you for spending the
holidays with WLIW21, and for being part of our family all year
round.
Frontline explores the life of Jesus and depicts on the origins
of Christianity using historical evidence in From Jesus to Christ:
The First Christians (Wednesday, December 2 at 8pm), and relive the
Christmas truce of 1914 between Allied and German soldiers in the
docu-musical All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 (Thursday,
December 24 at 9pm). Lucy Worsley’s 12 Days of Tudor Christmas
(Monday, December 7 at 8pm) takes us on a 12-day extravaganza to
discover that much of what we enjoy in contemporary Christmas —
from carols to turkey, gift-giving to mistletoe and mulled wine —
has surprising Tudor origins, rooted in devotion and charity. Our
gift to Call the Midwife fans: an all-new Call the Midwife Holiday
Special (Saturday, December 26 at 8pm)! It’s December 1965, and
Christmas is anything but calm for the nurses and midwives of
Nonnatus House. Sister Monica Joan is rushed to hospital, Trixie is
irked by a holiday gift — a subscription to a Marriage Bureau — and
the circus arrives in Poplar. Wendy Moten, Dave Barnes, Jim
Brickman, and Anita Cochran join host Victoria Shaw for an intimate
evening of holiday classics and new favorites in Songwriters Under
the Covers Holiday Special (Wednesday, December 2 at 8pm) on our
ALL ARTS channel, watch online at allarts.org, or with the ALL ARTS
app. And we’re ringing in the New Year laughing on Thursday,
December 31 with specials spotlighting Betty White and Carol
Burnett, and Mark Twain Prize for American Humor salutes to Dave
Chappelle, David Letterman, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

It’s a new year, which means new British programming to stream,
binge and enjoy! First up: Two-time Academy Award-winner Glenda
Jackson stuns in Elizabeth is Missing on Masterpiece (Mondays at
8pm premiering January 4). Her dramatic performance as a woman
desperately trying to solve two mysteries as she declines deeper
into dementia won her both a BAFTA and an International Emmy Award.
This adaptation of Emma Healey’s acclaimed novel depicts feisty
grandmother Maud Horsham, who is trying to find her friend
Elizabeth, who ominously goes missing, and uncover the truth of
what happened to her idolized older sister, who disappeared years
ago when they were kids, never to be seen again. As memories, clues
and deductions pile up, viewers come not only to see the world as
Maud does but also to solve the mystery like this vision-haunted
sleuth. Another book adaptation also makes its way back to the
small screen in January. All Creatures Great and Small on
Masterpiece (Mondays at 9pm beginning January 11) brings James
Herriot’s adventures as a veterinarian in 1930s Yorkshire to life
in this seven-part series. Exciting newcomer Nicholas Ralph makes
his television debut as the recently hired (and recently qualified)
vet at Skeldale House, located in one of England’s most beautiful
landscapes. Tales of country life in the North of England are
re-imagined from the 1970s for a modern audience, introducing a new
generation to Herriot’s life-affirming stories the iconic vet with
inspiring humor, compassion and love of life. In addition to those
compelling series, do yourself a favor and tune-in to Midsomer
Murders Saturdays at 8pm. We’re airing Season 14 – DCI John Barnaby
joins DS Benjamin Jones investigate the scandals and deadly deeds
that lurk beneath the well-manicured surface of the seemingly
idyllic country of Midsomer.
