Death Comes to Pemberley BBC1

[bisjo]

Anyone watching? It is so slow. I'm not sure I'll be watching parts 2 and 3 or even the whole of part 1.

I've jist said the exact same thing. not the same without colin Firth

looked cack to me

Do I need to have watched or read P&P to understand it do you think??

I think you can watch it without prior knowledge as they are highlighting all the things they need to from P&P, eg Wickham's bad character etc. It really is dull though.

The book was so shit I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

I mean the PD James debacle, obvs.

It's shite. I've turned over to Big Fat Quiz.

definitely no need to have p&p knowledge.

it's definitely shit!

The plot denouement is really fucking boring anyway.

It is very dull , can't watch anymore

In fact all you really need to have knowledge of is how to change the channel on your television.

I've turned over. Seemed like it's going to be dull and I usually love a period drama.

With Trevor Eve it is just going down .... Assume a lot of shouting and bizarre plot twists

It's got Trev Eve so I'm sticking with it

I'd shag him

it is very very dull. thanks for pointing it out, i am turning over too.

...

The arrival of Eddie Shoestring would be far from the most anachronistic thing in the book.

Turned it over. Load of old cack!

Looked really boring so switched to BBC2.
no interest in racing cars but Idris Elba is presenting it

lol it's finished anyway, i though it was on loner.

oh well back to watching dd play the Wii (sigh)

I really liked it

Have read the book and tbh the plot is pretty thin and it isn't really a detective story or a classic. They've changed it a bit for the adaptation and include annoying flashbacks for those who don't know the previosu saga. JA it is not.

I liked it too... And I loved pride and prejudice. I feel like if it was just a period drama without using the p and p characters I would have liked it more. Now, instead of just watching and enjoying it I am contrasting the way the characters are behaving with what I imagined those characters would do.
