I really enjoyed this series, like reading the novel again. Ann Firbank was great as Anne Elliot, and I liked watching her go from being reliable, dependable, sensible Anne, who always does the right thing, to self-confident, independent Anne, determined to follow heart, no matter what others may think.
Bryan Marshall gave a good portrayal of Captain Wentworth, who appears to be a man carefree and heart whole, looking for a wife for reasons other than love, until he can no longer contain his feelings for Anne.
This time it's jealousy and mistaken attachments, rather than persuasive advice and misguided intentions, that threaten to keep them apart.
What I really loved was the performances of both Morag Hood and Rowland Davies, as Anne's sister, Mary and brother-in-law, Charles. Truly entertaining!
I also caught a familiar face: Paul Chapman (Captain Benwick), in the days before he was known as Steven from "As Time Goes By".
I recommend this!!
