Rating: - Donald Pleasance is uncanny
Donald Pleasance is uncanny - in a new, good way - in this fair adaptation of the beloved Barchester Chronicles' first two stories.

This excellent comedy of manners and church morality with a superb British cast faithfully renders the plot and tone of the original books.

This series is a faithful adaption of the novels by Trollope and all the actors starring in it do a fantastic job, particularly Alan Rickman and Donald Pleasance. Nigel Hawthorne in also on top form. My original reason for watching was my interest (obsession?) with Rickman, but I found the whole experience extremely enjoyable and very funny in places. my only question is: when will it be on DVD?

Rating: - A great adaption of the Trollope Novels!
The video series of the Barchester novels certainly serves the written versions justice. A particular suprise is seeing a younger Alan Rickman at his finest, alongside a great cast of UK talent. A pleasure for those who have read the Trollope novels!
