Title: a well executed production that should be released on ws dvd
Review: I bought this video set to see Keeley Hawes and she gave her usual excellent performance as Lizzie Hexam. Having never read the book, or Dickens for that matter I was enthralled to see what would happen to these characters. So much so that I watched the entire series in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon.The performances were first rate. I wish though that the program had been released on widescreen dvd as it was in the U.K. because the full screen format so drastically cut the view of some scenes that at one point in a scene between Lizzie and Eugene all I could see were their noses and the space in between them! It certainly took away from poignancy of the moment. Dickens' story can be dark at times but the world all comes into balance at the end. I highly recommend this series even in this vhs format.
