"Count Dracula" 1977 British TV move complete on YT
This version of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" sticks to the original story (for the most part). Its deliberate pace and earnest tone can make it a bit of a chore to watch. But it is free and one of the best literal adaptations of the work.

I’m a Kiwi and recently got really into British music and have grown a taste in Queen’s music, kinda curious how Freddie Mercury is seen or was seen in the UK?
Younger Brits can feel free to chime in but I’m mainly curious about how well accepted or liked he was in the 70s-80s, considering he was rather flamboyant and was queer, and homophobia definitely was a much much bigger issue back then, and the fact that he wasn’t exactly White or born in the UK, was he still well liked considering racism might have been a bit more of an issue back in the 70s? If you were to talk about how influential, iconic, or famous a musician is particularly in the UK, how does Queen fare against the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones or Bowie? Hahah hope i don’t get downvoted here, I love Queen and Freddie and they are well liked here, just wondering about the British perspective
