What happens

《刀馬旦》(英語:A Stage of Turbulence)是1995年由香港電視廣播有限公司拍攝製作的電視劇,周慧敏、梁藝齡、陳錦鴻及譚耀文領銜主演,以民國軍閥割據時期一個女京戲班為主題的電視劇。該劇是周慧敏迄今在無線的最后一部電視劇。 此剧虽为無綫電視28週年台慶劇,但在1995年首播時平均收視僅得22點,創該年新低。因此,此剧于当年极受观众批评为没有诚意,而另一部台庆剧《天降奇缘》则收视合格,被观众评为故事轻松。本劇於2002年在翡翠台(原定計劃在非黃金劇集時間重播用作祝賀周慧敏復出,但10月18日因羅文逝世提早在10月25日起逢星期一至五時間1145-1245)、2008年5月11日起在TVB星河頻道及2018年1月8日起tvb經典台重播。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
