1.Jane Eyre [1983] starring: Timothy Dalton, Zelah Clarke, Judy Cornwell directed by: Julian Amyes March 13, 2006

This is, by far, the best TV/film adaptation of Jane Eyre as it faithfully follows the book. My only criticism would be that Timothy Dalton is too good-looking to be Rochester. Rochester is not supposed to be good-looking in the conventional way but has a certain 'something' that makes him attractive. There is an accusation that Rochester is too 'violent' in the scene before Jane leaves. If you watch this scene, and go back to the novel it perfectly captures Rochester's agony at the thought of Jane leaving him. It is Jane who has all the control in this scene, as throughout their relationship - 'never was anything at once so frail and so indomitable. A mere reed she feels in my hand!.....'If I tear, rend the slight prison, ... Read More:

There she sits: A white-haired lady dressed in tweeds, a pair of knitting needles in her lap, more interested in village gossip than in the goings-on of the world at large - and out of nothing, she utters sentences like that. For more likely than not, another murder has been committed; and Miss Jane Marple, elderly spinster from the village of St. Mary Mead, just happens to find herself near the scene of the crime. And also more likely than not, while the police are still toddling around searching for clues she'll find the solution - relying on her ever-unfailing "village parallels;" those seemingly innocuous incidents of village life that make up the sum of her knowledge of human nature, and to which she routinely turns in unmasking even ...

I remember seeing this when originally broadcast when I was a child and being spellbound by it. Indeed, when I saw the David Lean version, I can remember being disappointed. It doesn't have the cinematic sweep of Lean as most of it is on video, but the compensation is in the performances. Three performance stand out in this adaptation. Joan Hickson I would say is the definitive Miss Havisham - proud, cruel, and frightening. Stratford Johns' Magwitch has great depth, and in the last episodes he elicits great sympathy. Phillip Joseph as Joe Gargery is quiet nobility personified - not the village idiot that Bernard Miles makes him in Lean's version. In addition to these, Sarah-Jane Varley makes a more believably ice princess Estella than the mature Valerie ... Read More:

Says Professor Wanstead to Miss Jane Marple (Joan Hickson) after the murderer has been discovered, "So Mr. Rafiel's faith in his son is justified after all." "Oh, no, Professor," Miss Marple replies, "it wasn't like that at all. Mr. Rafiel wanted justice for the dead girl, even if it meant the sacrifice of his son." "Do you think he considered that," the Professor asks. "Oh, yes," Miss Marple says. "He knew I wouldn't flinch, even if it meant sending Michael to the gallows. He called me 'Nemesis,' you know, and he wasn't being entirely humorous." Nor should any murderer underestimate this slightly frail, inquisitive and observant old woman, long a resident of the English village of St. Mary Mead, who is given to wearing tweeds and sensible shoes, ...

A classic 60's show. (sound of reader slamming door of bomb shelter shut) . No wait , where are you going? ......No,No there's been a misunderstanding - Dangerman is actually good. Oh Yes! screamed the reader in an feverish uneven voice. I know all about 60's t.v. shows . They start off normal then degenerate into episodes about giant Ferrets (Who are all co-incidentally named Frederick)threatening to brainwash the population of London by singing backwards over and over again in their chipmunkily-high voices.(gasps for air)...... Narrator:Yes we know , we know, then the hero saves the day by throwing shoes at it(specially designed anti-giant-cloning-ferret shoes no less)or by blinding it(s?) with ... Read More:

I had the rare pleasure of few birthday presents last week-plenty of money instead. This was one of my little indulgences and am I glad I indulged!! First broadcast in Autumn 1960, this is the start of a consumate TV program that has lasted staggeringly well. The original 39 episodes begin with this set and share several winning ways:- a) Half-Hour long:-no fannying about, thank you! The story has to be concluded in that time, so things move fast. Your bladder can stand the necessary cuppa beforehand, as you can't leave it midway, without missing something! Despite only having 30 mins, plot and character devbelopment are not inconsequental. Ok, it isn't Dostoeyevsky, but it ain't Micky Spillane, either!! b) The Original theme music: ... Read More:
