7:11-7:31 Ugh! Skimpole and that little diatribe on slavery! "They give it a poetry for me...perhaps that is the pleasanter aspects of their existence." Yes because everything centers around you doesn't it, Skimpole? I could just smack him!
@hindaa11 ... Awww I agree, Mr Jarndyce has a heart full of love, and I think it may be all for Esther... So very sweet, and he truly is a 'gentleman'... Loving this version of Bleakhouse, it is well acted indeed... :0)x
Trust Andy Dalziel (Warren Clarke, the actor playing Boythorn here) to be so very forthright in his un-PCness! Hah! I love Warren Clarke-such a great actor! :)
...that hat of the character lady Dedlock...that hat is not correct for the period...I can only assume that the actress didn't suit the bonnet shape which would've been correct...
skimpole needs a hearty round of ass-whooping

' Esther' looks absolutely nothing like mummy Dedlock.

Gosh, its pretty amazing the amount of coldness yet maternal attitude Lady Deadlock addresses ester with! Gillian Anderson is masterful!

Ok, the funky tree-limb-in-front-of-actors camera work was a liiiittle too much in this scene

I love Boythorn! No one else would have the guts to call Sir Leicester an arrogant numskull in the middle of church.
