This version of Jane Eyre is by far my favourite. The 2006 version is good but this one is much more to the book. All the characters are you imagine them when reading the book. Timothy Dalton is immense as Rocheser while Zellah Clarke is excellent as Jane Eyre. Judy Cornwell is a boo hissable Mrs. Reed while the late Robert James is outstanding as the santctimonous Brokclehurst. Well done to BB on making a drama that will be remembered long after being watched.

I had read the novel but never actually seen an adaptation but this one blew my breath away. Well acted and scripted. The only thing I found strange was how Fosco was portrayed-slim-as opposed to the novel where he is corpulent. That aside I would recommend this adaptation.
