Barchester Towers

Mrpastasmissus and I have just finished watching the DVD Barchester Chronicles - a dramatization of Trollope's books 'The Warden' and 'Barchester Towers'. It was first broadcast in 1981, and I have dim memories of watching it first time round.
It's well worth watching to see Alan Rickman as the unctuous Mr Slope, and Geraldine McEwan as the unstoppable Mrs Proudie who is magnificent in full sail.
(Although it has to be said if I tried to behave like that to mrpastasmissus I would be in BIIIIIG trouble ;-) )

    Two great actors, and two great books - but I confess I havent seen the DVD which combines them all!
    It is lovely when you have time to sit down TOGETHER to enjoy a film though [we managed Wall-E last night after church! not quite as highbrow]
