Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBBC Television's first-ever adaptation of Hardy's novel.
- GoofsThere are two musical anachronisms. First, Angel plays an autoharp which was not invented until the 1880s in Germany, and would not have been an English folk instrument at the time of TESS. Secondly, the congregation is heard singing "How Great Thou Art," which was written in Swedish in 1885, but was not commonly known in English until Stuart Hine's translation (circa 1950).
- ConnectionsVersion of Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1913)
Featured review
An excellent re-interpretation
I've just finished watching it, and totally enjoyed it, the girl playing Tess was utterly utterly wonderful, what a brilliant piece of casting there.
I could not believe that Nessa was her mum here, real versatility. I adore period costume dramas but was unfamiliar with this story, it started off as they normally do, sweet and mellow, nice and serene, then came the big twist, and the darker side of this drama begins to come through, I know i've only seen the first part, but I hope and i'm sure that the rest of this serial will continue in the same fantastic form as part 1.
I wish I knew how good previous versions of this were, but I shan't watch until i've seen the end of this Utterly brilliant so far :-)
9/10.
