The series features dramatic adaptations of notable, usually British, literary
Adaptations for TV by the BBC of Shakespeare and other classic works are very often syndicated to appear on ''Masterpiece'' in the US, usually through WGBH-Television in Boston, often in multiple parts.
In 2008, the word "Theatre" was dropped from the title, and the show, now officially known as ''Masterpiece'', was split into three different sections. ''Masterpiece Classic'' was initially hosted by [[Gillian Anderson]]; the following year, [[Laura Linney]] took her place. ''[[Masterpiece Mystery!]]'' is hosted by [[Alan Cumming]]. ''Masterpiece Contemporary'' was hosted initially by Matthew Goode, who was replaced by [[David Tennant]] in 2009.
▲Also not to be confused with ''[[World Masterpiece Theater]]'', ''another'' long runner ''anime'' children's classics series in Japan.

{{tropelist}}
As an [[Anthology]] series ''Masterpiece Theater''/''Master'' has few tropes of its own, since it is little more than an envelope for presenting other works. Put tropes for individual works in their pages, not here.
* [[Presenters]]: Alistaire Cooke is of course the one everyone remembers from the early years of the show, but other famous faces have sat in that leather chair and introduced the week's episode, including Gillian Anderson and David Tennant.
* [[Standard Snippet]]: The 30 seconds or so of Jean-Joseph Mouret's ''Rondeau'' heard at the beginning of every episode firmly anchored that piece of music to the concepts of dignified elegance and erudition.
