It certainly builds a compelling case & while there’s the odd slight misstep along the way it’s primarily a terrific interpretation of a classic romance Perhaps the only real disappointment is that the DVD release itself doesn’t offer more in the way of added features but given the presentation & quality of the main attraction that’s unlikely rightly to deter those in search of some classic BBC drama --Jon Foster Actors Ruth Wilson Toby Stephens Francesca Annis Andrew Buchan Aidan Mc Ardle Directors Susanna White Format Widescreen Subtitled PAL Dolby Digital Sound Language English Subtitles English Subtitles For The Hearing Impaired English Audio Description English Region Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe Read more about DVD formats) Aspect Ratio 169
