This is the BBC adaptation of the six Barchester Chronicles by Anthony Trollope, and we thought it very well done indeed. None of us had read the books, finding them a bit heavy-going, so we don't know how close these episodes are to the originals - but it all flowed well. The story is of intrigue and jealousies amongst the clergyman of a fictional city, with a bit of love interest along the way.
The main character is the excellent and almost-too-good-to-be-true Mr Harding, but in the latter episodes the villainous Mr Slope rather steals the show, played brilliantly by Alan Rickman. We wondered if this was the inspiration that gave him, later on, the part of Snape in the Harry Potter movies.
It's inevitably a little long-winded in places and rather slow-moving, but basically very enjoyable indeed.… (plus d'informations)
