SEPTEMBER PRIME TIME AT A GLANCE mpt.org/schedule the durrells in corfu What’s in store for the dysfunctional but lovable Durrell family this season? Keeley Hawes (Upstairs Downstairs) stars as an intrepid widow who decamps from dreary England to a sun-dappled Greek island with her four recalcitrant children, ages 11 to 21, in this adaptation of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals. Now beginning their third season of island life, the Durrell’s matriarch Louisa is joined by her eldest son, Larry, a budding writer on his way to becoming the famous novelist Lawrence Durrell; son number two, Leslie, an impulsive firearms enthusiast; daughter Margo, 16 and man-crazy; and 11-year-old Gerry, who only has eyes for the many animals in his life. season 3 premieres sunday, september 30 at 8pm
