I am old enough to remember the original JANE EYRE from the 50s and it terrified me. I was too young to understand the subtleties of the plot - and I am glad I waited nearly 50 years to see what I think will be regarded as the definitive version. This is quite simply the best TV production I have ever seen with terrific performances and photography and it sweeps along at an excellent pace, the dialogue sounding fresh and modern enough to understand and be relevant for the 21st century. Some men may be put off by the girly girly Bronte name - but believe me this is a subject that works well for everyone and if I ever write a book called 1000 TV Shows To See Before You Die - this will certainly be in the Top 10.
