I started watching this t'other night and i'm up to episode 8 so far, it's bloody fantastic.

It's £4.00 on it's own (Amazon) but you can get it as part of a triple pack of 'Bronte at the BBC' for £7.00

That's the one I have rented and watched the first disc on (I think) Tuesday, with the second disc arriving today. Compared to the more recent period dramas like Dickensian, War & Peace, and Mr Selfridge, it is incredibly stagey and looks very 'soft'. It seems period dramas really took off in 1995 with Pride and Prejudice and Moll Flanders and, over the last 20 years, have continued to benefit from high-quality writing, direction, casts, and everything associated with big budget TV shows.

Definitely a lower budget than current dramas and while opulence is well and good it doesn't make or break a good story! There is a Jane Eyre from 2006 (I think) with Ruth Wilson as Jane, that one has been well received and had a more lavish budget.

Very true, but realistic settings and costumes make the story easier to digest. Also, I feel stories like this are best suited in hour-long blocks than half-hour ones (Dickensian and, apparently, Bleak House are probably the exception to the rule). When I have finished this one, however look out for the more recent Jane Eyre adaptation with Ruth Wilson and, if possible, add it to my Lovefilm list.

Thank heavens! I was starting to wonder how many hours your day had.

I'm unsure whether to finish off Kolchak or series 6 of Warehouse 13.
