I had my doubts about JLM playing Knightley, but in the end thought he was very good and the quarrel over Mr martin in the first episode really leapt off the screen, they were so angry with each other and felt much more convincing that in other adaptations.<br /><br />I could watch Sir Michael Gambon play anuthing and agree that perhaps he was a bit miscast as Mr Woodhouse, but his portrayal had the advantage of letting us see the devotion between him and Emma, in others I have seen he is such a fussy old man you want to scream!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739410242766153431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-14430926977891722902009-11-01T17:19:50.638+00:002009-11-01T17:19:50.638+00:00I shall look forward to viewing this on BBC Prime ...I shall look forward to viewing this on BBC Prime in maybe a couple of years if we are lucky!LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-30720153390585179372009-11-01T15:23:43.526+00:002009-11-01T15:23:43.526+00:00My daughter and I enjoyed Emma despite the anachro...My daughter and I enjoyed Emma despite the anachronisms. It may not have reflected 'the original' but I found it refreshing. After all, adaptations rarely follow the book to the letter so a bit of modernised dialogue didn't spoil the story. I'm afraid I didn't even notice the seasonal 'gaffes' though!sablonneusehttp://sablonneuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870332382319896507.post-36944740339317207242009-11-01T11:06:43.725+00:002009-11-01T11:06:43.725+00:00I'll wait for this to come on french TV.

Maybe the budget restraints meant staff cut-backs in the big house!?<br />For me, Gambon as doddery Pa was a bit of a stretch of the imagination. Far too much of a twinkle in his eye.Rattling Onhttp://www.rattlingon.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
