5.0 out of 5 stars OMG I loved it!!!!!!!!!!, 5 Oct 2006
Ha! I've finally found the definitive version of Jane Eyre. After watching quite a few really awful versions, I have to say this is the one that does it for me. Admittedly slighly dated looking at times, but wow, wow, wow it's got everything! The very lines of the book are brought alive by the 2 fine main actors, and at last, a Rochester who isn't drop dead gorgeous but really works at the part he is portraying and has real charisma, style, wit, the lot. Don't be put off by the age of the production, it is still wonderful!

4.0 out of 5 stars old but refined classic, 27 Jun 2006
By Julie Cutler (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I actually looked forward to the release of this item with zeal. I saw this version when I was small- effectively it was why I went through a Bronte phase.
So a little dated. The school scenes are not quite up to scratch, but the 'orrible cousins should be on one of those self help shows.
What really stuns is Michael Jayston's Rochester who is completely in control (when not getting nearly set on fire)and is certainly a hero worth smooching over.
Sorcha Cusack manages to be plain and wooable and you quite forgive some of the priggish lines she gets to speak. (Oh fer crying out loud just take the pretty jewellery). All in all a whole packet of Bronte biscuits to this one, but not something I would endlessly watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's such fun to watch, 4 Oct 2006
This adaptation has got everything. It may look slightly dated now, but it is full of charm and wonderful performances so it is completely captivating. It is very faithful to the book, and Jayston and Cusack give truly exceptional performances. I can understand why so many people rave about it. There are some pretty good versions out there, but I always come back to this one, it has that extra something. Watch and enjoy.

I thought this was the whole series but a lot is missing, so was disappointed! It is so well acted, that I think its a crime to cut whole chunks out like that.
