Screen Two: Northanger Abbey (1987)
Episode 7, Season 3
I can't bear to watch it

Being a big Jane Austen fan, I had great hopes of seeing the timeless story of her "Northanger Abbey" come to life on video. Needless to say, that didn't happen. Did the writers ever read the actual book? It was not consistent in any likeness, in spirit or theme. The characters had no depth, the music was irritating and distracting, and the plot was twisted and weird. Jane Austen, I'm sure would be thouroughly offended, as will the veiwer of this B-style, twilight zone version of the classic.
