Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Easily the worst Jane Austen adaptation in 50 years. Billy Piper is enthusiastic but totally miscast. The novel is butchered. ( ) The worst adaptation of a Jane Austen novel I have seen. Billie Piper is totally miscast as the demure, almost priggish Fanny Price, and while the film roughly follows the plot of the book, there are too many missing characters, and other unnecessary changes. Even worse, there's no sense of the 18th century at all; it looks like modern people dressed up in costume, and the camera work is bizarre at times. it's strange how the BBC can make such excellent period drama productions, where as those made for ITV (such as this one) are often (though not always) much poorer quality. I'm glad we got this free with a newspaper rather than paying for it. Not one to watch again. Not recommended at all. no reviews | add a review
