Ok, it's not going to cover all of the book and some scenes have been dramatized but it's still a very good production, the key elements of the novel are represented, the casting is good, (unlike the BBC's recent Bleak House), it is far, far better than the film version which looked to me like it had been dumbed down for an American audience. I'm sure that the characters in the novel would have behaved like the production ones had Dickens been writing the script today, the alledged rape scene is implied and not carried through and Squeers is a nasty piece of work, I can't really imagine him in any other way. I rate this highly but do bear in mind it is more for a modern audience and not a 1970's slow mo effort (which are still good but for ... Read More:

2.The Rocket Post [2006] starring: Ulrich Thomsen, Shauna Macdonald, Gary Lewis, Kevin McKidd, Patrick Malahide directed by: Stephen Whittaker September 17, 2007

Based on the true story of a German rocket scientist(Gerhard Zucher), who in the years prior to WW2, found himself on the Hebridean Island of Scapa, much to chagrin of the local population, who would have preferred a telephone service. He eventually overcomes their hostility and falls in love with a local lass. This is a slow moving, humourous, romantic tale. Beautifully acted and filmed. Almost an idyllic love tale until the Fatherland intervenes. One of the most moving films I have watched in a number of years and deserves much wider recognition. Highly recommended.

3.Sons And Lovers [2003] starring: Sarah Lancashire, Hugo Speer, James Murray, Rupert Evans, Esther Hall directed by: Stephen Whittaker January 14, 2003

This DVD has had so many scenes removed (censored) it is now nothing like the one originally shown on TV, to the point where if one had never read or seen Sons and Lovers it would make no sense at all, the scene where Clara ( Esther Hall) says that it is no longer tenable for her to remain in her position at work, one has to wonder why as in this version it seems that nothing had gone on between them just stange looks. If anyone knows where to obtain the orignal uncut version this would make a lot more sense.

Possibly no more can be said about how good the Inspector Morse television series was, and judging by the state of the home made programmes we are forced to endure now, we may never see it's like week in week out again.Anyway.... Of these two episodes for some reason I did not rate the Day Of The Devil that highly when I first watched it, for some reason it struck me as being at odds with all the other episodes.That being said it's what you might call a grower, although it's probably my least favourite.This being Morse though it is still quality. Twilight Of The Gods is an excellent episode though and the DVD would be worth the price for this alone.I can't give the story away obviously but it's intriguing to watch two of the protaganists ...

9.Portrait of a Marriage [1990] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Janet McTeer, David Haig, Cathryn Harrison, Diana Fairfax, Peter Birch directed by: Stephen Whittaker May 30, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £37.87
Based on the book by their son Nigel this movie shows the story of the marriage of Vita Sackville-West, the famous novelist, poet and biographer, and Sir Harold Nicolson, diplomat and author. Vita had numerous love affaires with woman, while Harald had his male affaires. Nevertheless the couple maintained their marriage - bisexual couple share a bond of understanding and affection. The central issue is affaire of Vita with Violet Keppel, Mrs. Denys Trefusis, the daughter of Alice Keppel, the famous mistress of King Edward VII and aunt to Camilla Parker-Bowles. It is quite an amazing story and most instructive in class terms and prejudices against homosexual love. For modern viewers there is nothing shocking in the sexual sense; but the social ...

10.Portrait Of A Marriage [1990] (REGION 2) (PAL) [Dutch Import] starring: Janet McTeer, David Haig, Cathryn Harrison, Diana Fairfax, Peter Birch directed by: Stephen Whittaker September 12, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.20
This is a superb BBC production. High production values. It's a TV luxury. Based on Vita's memoire of her love affair with Violet Keppel Trefusis which can be found in Nigel Nicolson's Portrait of a Marriage', it is very well scripted by Penelope Mortimer and acted excellently by a high calibre cast. The drama is gut wrenching in parts. There is a violent scene between Vita and Violet that makes me want to jump into the TV and put an end to it. Of note for me is the acting of Cathryn Harris especially in the first 2 episodes; she is a perfect Violet awesomely in love with Vita. The blood from Violet's face would drain when she caught sight of Vita. Cathryn transmits this intensity of feeling with great skill - this is marvelous acting (watch for her reactions especially in the ... Read More:
