Bleeding Cool has announced that Paul McGuigan will direct a seven episode series for the BBC, starring Stephen Fry and written by Grant Morrison.  McGuigan elucidates:

It’s seven episodes. It takes place over seven days around an event that happens in Scotland. It’s a modern take on an old fable or fairy story. If you know Grant’s work you might have an idea of what it will be like. It’s like Twin Peaks meets Brigadoon! It’s off the wall and smart but in a watchable commercial way. It’s still in the early stages but I’m very excited about it.

Looking forward to this more than most anything else in any medium.
