despite this production having received a number of poor reviews and it actually holds up quite well for its age. note also that it is not a bbc programme and it was simply licensed to them by granada ventures when the jane austen collection was released on dvd. so how does it compare with other adaptations of the same novel. the most well known version these days is the 1995 film with amanda root as anne elliott and ciaran hinds as captain frederick wentworth. that film was of course shorter but a good snapshot of the story  the earlier version and with ann firbank and bryan marshall in the same roles and had four hours to tell the story and moved at a more leisurely pace. firbank is a good ten years too old for her role and but she is very good  marshall is excellent as wentworth and a man disappointed in love and and bitter about interference. and hidden in the cast are people who also contribute  michael culver and later seen in cadfael and as harvill while richard vernon and later seen in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and as admiral croft while noel dyson and earlier in coronation street and as mrs musgrove. one criticism i do have is that the hairstyles are a bit distracting and and that the costumes are awful. still and this shouldn not detract from a hugely enjoyable austen adaptation.
