  • I'm gonna find it incredibly difficult to take David Walliams seriously :D although he is an amazing actor

  • Brilliant drama! Maybe Poliakoff's best

  • Wow, Ruth Wilson looks so different here!.. I guess I'm just so used to seeing her as Jane Eyre lol Still, she looks very beautiful :D

  • Why is David Walliams so sexy... Sigh

  • cool ruth wilson has worked with both maggie and toby

  • @PinknBlonde4 She learned a lot with maggie, don't you think?

  • David Walliams in a role like this... interesting!

  • Walliams is gorgeous in every sense of the word in this. Poliakoff must have written it with him in mind.

  • An amazing actress!

  • HNNNGGGGH I NEED BBC.

  • I love the movie <3 :)

  • OMG! Ruth Wilson is so gorgeous here! And she is with Maggie Smith in this film which is Toby Stephens' mom! What a COINCIDENCE!

  • and as for( Dame) Maggie Smith well..as inspiring as ever!!

  • Fantastic from Start to End, Greville may have been a somewhat creepy,mysterious and seemingly silly aristocrat who latched on to the wonderful mary, but to me he Possessed some very deep wisdom and maybe in his odd way wanted to warn her of the dangers facing a young woman in the world of the late 1950s & onwards!

  • I get so excited whenever I hear about a new Stephen Poliakoff production. It's been a while, eh? Bloody shame we don't get to see all of them here in the colonies. The last one that appeared in DVD here was Gideon's Daughter (magnificient!)

  • Ahhhh I adore Ruth Wilson & Maggie Smith so much....<333

  • Makes me laugh that Maggie Smith (older Mary) is Toby Stephen's mum, who played Mr Rochester to Ruth Wilson (younger Mary)'s Jane Eyre.

  • is that professional mcgonagall?? haha

  • omg its jane eyre! lol.

  • Whaou.... couldn't imagine David Williams in such a character....

  • Isn't that buddy from that really funny show with english people in it?

  • gahhh one of the only down falls of living in america? NO BBC. Jealous? yes, i think so!

  • @7milkduds what about bbc america. we canadians have no bbc at all

  • I wish David would do more serious roles like this. He was amazing in this. :-D

  • I hear David Walliams, i see Little Britain D:

  • greville s sinister revelations made Mary reject him because of his malevolent powers. Mary s status as a Northern~ lass~ done~ good journalist wains into desertion of her London role as the messenger of a class obsessed 50 s high society.

  • I find it interesting that in one production which Ruth is famous for (Jane Eyre) she stars along with Toby Stephens, and in this one with his his legendary mother Dame Maggie Smith!

  • ...she's his mother!?!

  • Truly amazing piece of Drama - Maggie Smith is a joy to watch - Mind you Poliakoffs writing must be a joy to work with.

  • she looks soo nice in this ..

    very different from in jane eyre

    which prooves she is obviously very pretty as everyone said she wasn't pretty in jane eyre

    but i love her tension with toby stephens yummy man

  • I could see her good looks in Jane Eyre, people equate beaty wth make up and photo shop. countenance is much more important and she is very exotic.

  • I think we Americans are getting royally fucked out of all the fantastic productions the BBC offers :(. Even BBC-A is really lagging.

  • You should really watch some of Stephen Poliakoff's other stuff.

    Sorry.. I know that's pretty random and I know you posted that comment a month ago but.. I need to spread the Poliakoff-love!

    I want more of his stuff. xD

  • agreed..can't say much for BBC Canada either

  • @urbanr0cker lol not only you Americans! German television is horrible too! ;D

  • @moonstruckfaye lol ja!

  • @urbanr0cker Well atleast we have quality shows like Jersey Shore to match the BBC (god i hate the crappy shows on US TV).

  • Being here in the States I don't see this. I read the reviews but seeing is believing. Comedians, I think are the best for such roles case inpoint Robin Williams in Insomnia. Wow!

  • could someone please post this video on here! i cant get it in canada :(

  • ohh i know..i wish we could get movies like this in canada..its a shame:(

  • haha if i say it like my little sister : jane eyre and professor mc gonagall are in here !

  • Can someone please posr this movie for Canadian fans.

    Cheers

  • I loved Ruth Wilson in Jane Eyre! I'll be watching this for sure!

  • wow ruth wilson looks very good in this movie if you compare it how she looks in jane eyre ^^

  • She looks wonderful in Jane Eyre!

  • sure but in this movie she looks super wonderful ;)

  • I bought this on DVD it was so good. beautiful and really creepy!

  • Ruth Wilson is such a talented actress, she's better then some people in movies these days. And she's so beautiful she's got such a striking look!

    This was truely amazing I loved it, as I did with A Perfect Summer

  • david walliams scares the hell out of me :l

  • ruth wilson is truly a wonderful and amazing actress! she is so beautiful and deserves much more credit then some of those other stars out there

  • It's about a very talented young woman who meets the mysterious and charismatic Greville - being young and naive, she falls for him but he doesn't exactly turn out to be her knight in shining armour.

  • I'm just going to come out and say it: David Walliams looks extremely gorgeous in this.

  • lol, I would love to say that he always looks lovely, but some of the Little Britain costumes are a bit too much.

    I agree that he's amazingly handsome here though ^^

  • this looks fantastic

  • what's this film about??

  • ditto that

  • anyone know where I could watch this as I live in Canada and have just heard about it?

  • somehow ruth wilson reminds me of liv tyler :D

  • it's the way she moves her mouth and skin color

  • aww this made me cry!!

    is this out on dvd?

  • wow, Ruth Wilson is a really good actress isn't she?

  • HAHA DAVID! This will be strange

  • i have this on dvd lol arent i great

    the songs too. i think i like this film too much

  • Looks pretty cool! I adore Maggir Smith and Ruth Wilson (as well as her son) was incredible in JE.

  • oh yes!maggie smith is a magical actress, and ruth is just...great!

  • WOW, and to think that Ruth played Jane Eyre to Toby Stephens, Maggie Smith's son!

  • *wry smile* Smart enough to stay working with brilliant people. (aside: Toby is the spitting image of his mother)

  • d'you know, i watched both of those on BBC and not once did i cop that toby stephens was maggie smiths son... whoops

  • is he really????? omg

  • i second that!as for toby, yeah, he looks a lot like her...

  • Ah! Why do the Brits get all the good miniseries! BBC is always amazing :0)

  • Totally agree. I'm here in the states and I would love to see this. Keeping my fingers crossed it comes to Masterpiece on PBS.

  • indeed, those series never arrive where i live, and so i thank god there's youtube to help me!

  • The 1920s and the 1960s, of course, both regarded as decadent times but one of the achievements of this drama is to show that the 1950s, in some parts of society, had excitement and magic as well.

  • A superb drama. The perfectly nuanced horror (and magic) of it reminded me of the classic Henry James tale 'The turn of the screw'. Ruth Wilson was totally magnificent as a 1950s debutante attending a 1920s themed party. As the tale moves into the 1960s, Ruth changes clothes but not attitude (whereas Walliams' character remains totally unchanged).

  • yeah i loved this, thought it was really good...but yeah bit of a sad ending

  • absolutely great! i was a bit sad though about the ending!

  • I missed this! I'm so upset!

  • i watch that and it was well gd

  • phwoar!

    thanks for that :)

  • Love the Trailer thank you repunxo.

  • Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

    Kisses
