  • This story is so terribly tragic to the point of being exasperating; the poor girl never gets a break. I love it.

  • If only Alec hadn't done that to Tess, maybe they would've ended up being a happy couple. I personally don't think Angel is a good fit for her. He is immature, confused, inconsiderate, and judgmental. Even though Alec is a jerk and also creepy, I think he would've given Tess a better, happier life.

  • i think angel was better in the 1998 version

  • @eurasianGirl12 , agreed, and Eddie makes Angel seem more despicable in the post-confession scene.  I think Redmayne, as good an actor as he is, was miscast in this. I didn't understand why Tess loved this Angel, where as in the 1998 version I could see why she wanted him to return to her. I actually liked Alec better in this version and Tess and Alec had better chemistry in this one.

  • @Muirmaiden completely agree. and i cried so much more in this version too... it seems more depressing :S

  • I love how from part 2 to part 3 e've gone from "I love Angel" to "I hate Angel" :P He is such a hypocrite, so much so that it doesn't really make sense. It's as if Hardy was trying too hard to show how miserable Tess' life is, but how good she remains.

  • Angel claims to hate the arisocrat principal, but then he wanted Tess to return to her original name of Durberville, talk about snobbery and hypocricy of the utmost degree.

    He was also envious of Alec i think, not just the immorality/rape incident but also his situation calling him a jumped up chocolate millionaire from bradford, yet at that point what offence had he given? He had taken an old name, that was taken before Tess even knew where she had originally come from.

  • 48 hours of pleasurable banging hahahaha...and he dares to judge her??

  • what a JERK!!!

  • I just couldn't stop crying while watching this episode!

  • I hate Angel!!!! :(

  • I'm going to be Mrs Eddie Redmayne in a few years.

  • I loved Angel the entire movie until this point!!!! What a horrible man! He married her and left her worse off than before. He is forgiven for chosing to do wrong, and she isn't for being raped!!! What a horrible man!!!!! (Until the end when it's too late!) Best story ever.

  • oliver is so much better as angel!

  • I just saw the last part, but I absolutely loved the movie!

    Loved it!

    Sad ending :(

  • eddie is gorgeous

  • eddie is AMAZING AND GORGEOUS!!!

  • were is the other part??

    ps angel sucks

  • Angel is the total waste of time... She was so much better than him, and he just couldn't see it.

  • I really can't stand Angel after this--he's supposed to be so idealistic and wonderful, and then he just dumps on all of that when he condemns Tess. Plus, Alec is hotter in this adaptation anyway.

  • The tragedy is the the fact that Angel is ironically not an angel- when faced with reality, he finds his idealism shattered. The same happens in Jude the Obscure.

  • She forgave him before he even confessed - he condemned her when she opened up and bared her soul - double standards as usual from Hardys weak and wishy washy men - fantastic writing.

  • Does anyone know if the DVD is available to buy in shops in Ireland, on the internet it says 27th of Oct. I have not seen it in the shops. Is it just available to buy in the UK at the moment?

  • i cried so much at the end of part four

    i was really depressed, but its such a BRILLIANT adaptation- it really conveys the message of the book well, about the people at that time, their prejudices and views about issues like sex and rape.

    all the actors did an amazing job

    poor poor angel at the end of ep.4- he was soooooooo cute!

  • Angel Clare you are such a damn drip

  • He is. He is a drip. So is Tess. Pair of total drips, bad as each other. And yet I can't stop myself from liking them both. Especially in this version, for some reason.

    Oh well, they're both about twelve, I'll excuse them on the basis of youth.

  • omg i missed episode 4 can anyone tell me where i can watch it

  • bbciPlayer
