In January I was reading the Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy. I found a BBC dramatised version of it, and recently I have been watching it. So far I have watched six out of seven episodes. What is good is that it is true to the book, probably why it is over five hours long, but you can tell it is from the 1970's.
If you haven't read the book it is about a man called Michael Henchard, who auctions his wife. From there it seems that he can't hold onto anything good and everything that he touches causes problems. It isn't the happiest story in the world. Maybe watch a comedy afterwards if you're planning to give it a go. I've had to watch it in stages.
