Serial video watching


 

I've been watching the superb 7 part 1978 serial written by Dennis
Potter, featuring Alan Bate & Anna Massey. I read the book some years
ago, and I think, like the recent Far from the Madding Crowd,
featuring Carey Mulligaan, and 2018 Woman in White by Fiona Seres ,
Potter captures the best of the book, its moral design and inner
spirit. Often recent British serials are travesties (especially when
backed by US money), but when they are good, they are superb, witness
the 2018 Little Women (Emily Watson as Marmee),. The Mirror and the
Light, by Peter Straughn, featuring Rylance (he carries it) improves
on the book.

An older one hour documentary not to miss: India's Partition A
Forgotten story by Gurind Chadha (Bhaji on the Beach

On other hand, after all the Miss Austen serial is lugubrious, takes
itself and Keeley Haws to seriously. I hated Bride & Prejudice
