Love this remake!

I read all of the books when they came out and never saw the BBC series until recently. Personally I was a bit surprised by the characterisations in the BBC version because the characters didn't seem to be as I remembered them in the books- particularly Hardys domination as Siegfried - excellent actor that he was- seemed out of place. But this Channel 5 version- to me- has the casting and characterisions spot on! I'm loving it! Of course the stories are not religiously relayed as in the books but the spirit is there - and to my mind-exactly as in the books which I'm very happy about after, as I said having seen and been disappointed in the BBC version. It's great to have a series to look forward to watching each week- just what we need in these difficult times!

score 10/10
