One down, five to go
Persuasion has been broadcast here on the east coast, and we know not everyone ordered Region 2 DVDs or caught stray satellite signals last year *cough*, and we’re very interested to know what those who are seeing it for the first time thought. Or even if you’re not seeing it for the first time.
Please let us know if you’ve read the book–we won’t make fun of you, we’re just interested to compare reactions between those who have read the book and those who have not.
Our most immediate thoughts: they didn’t do a bad job with exposition of the Year Six romance nor of setting up the Anne-Wentworth-Weasel Boy love triangle, it certainly ticked along at a breathless pace, the Cobb scene was much too quick for the importance of that scene, Tony Head is a scream, we liked Mary better this time, the ending is a disaster, THEY MESSED UP THE LETTER OMGBBQ, and really it should have been two episodes.
<pedant> And that’s the Royal Crescent, not Camden Place. </pedant>
<pedant> And that concert was NOT at the Pump Room. That was rather obviously the Upper Rooms, exactly where it was located IN THE NOVEL. Which the location managers seemed to figure out. Sheesh. </pedant>
A note: We’re getting slammed today, so please be patient if you’re caught in the spam filter–we are keeping an eye on things and we’ll get you out, never fear!
