oh I haven't seen that yet though I have heard it is an amazing episode, I am downloading season three now, so I will see it fairly soon.
I think it is a worthy series, it is a little hokey but overall it was quite good and the performances were all excellent. and I just adore Jane Horrocks in general and it was nice seeing her in a more serious role than she often is cast in. Carey Mulligan has a pretty good sized role in it and she plays it well, in my opinion. her character might have could have come across as unsympathetic but I think she played her so well, that you felt for her rather than were annoyed by her.
the recent adaptation of Bleak House was quite good I thought but then again, I haven't read the book. I'm not actually that great a fan of Dickens as bad as that sounds!
