This is a superb adaptation of a difficult George Eliot book. The romantic and Jewish elements of the plot are fused togather well, and the performances from Romola Garai and Jodhi May in particular are strong. Perhaps the greatest revelation is Hugh Bonneville playing the very unpleasant Grandcourt, a great contrast to his normal upright characters. Fans of the 1995 P&P will delight in David Bamber's odious Mr Lush. The whole production exudes the confidence produced by people who know what they are doing. ( )
