Favorite mini series
I love a lot of the BBC's costume dramas, and it's a little hard to pick a favorite, but I'm going with Our Mutual Friend. Dickens' novel is one of my favorites, and the script for this film is fantastic- nearly every word of it lifted from the book. A few subplots were removed- with a story like Our Mutual Friend, a few have to be- but the spirit remains. The casting and acting is superb- each character seems to have walked right out of the novel. Not only is it a great mini series, I think it may be the best adaptation of a book I've seen.
