i first saw this mini series back in 1973 when it be broadcast on the bbc and think it be wonderful . i immediately read the book and couldn not believe how true to the book the adaptation be . also what i love about it be it wasn not a glitzy hollywood version and it completely capture the atmosphere of the book . all the cast give brilliant performance . sorcha cusack be a perfect jane but michael jayston performance be just astound . he manage to portray all the complexity of the character with a touch of dry wit and and the chemistry between rochester and jane be just amazing . i be afraid the 1983 dalton version just doesn not do anything for me . dalton be an excellent actor but once you have read the book he doesn not really fit the part the way michael jayston do . it be fantastic that the power that be have come to their sens and decide to re release it after all these year . it be an exceptional adaptation . don not miss it .
