Good lord I'm watching the most profoundly piss-poor Mansfield Park adaptation

On BBC4 right now. IT's so dreadful I can hardly bleieve it.

Mind you, I didn't see the Billie Piper one, so there may be one out there that's even worse.

whats so bad about it? Who is in it?

choosyfloosy · 12/01/2008 20:41

is it that French one? (didn't see it)

They can't do Mansfield Park. Stick with the BBC one from the 80s, it's the only one.

I saw that was on, but DH is watching something about wreckers, so I'm on here instead. Hadn't heard of the actress in it, I don't think (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, of course).

The Billie Piper one, they made her fiesty....but there's no way to actually film the book exactly as Franny is just plain wet, and the bloke whteverhisnameis, well I'd not moon over him, he seems to fall in and out of love at a drop of a hat!!!!

Hannah Taylor Gordon, that was the name of Fanny

The only one I recognised was Lindsay Duncan as Lady Bertram (and she also played Fanny's mother)

It's just so BAD. Fanny being rude and lippy and then catching Henry and Maria actually in bed togeter. Then Mary Crawford being inappropriate. It's all so silly.

fuzzy, au contraire, this is the one you want

drop of a hat? how many mners have ex-partners who have been with someone else within 8 weeks of a major breakup? me for one

choosyfloosy, I knew the OP wasnt talking aboutthe Billie Piper version I was going off on a tangent based on LittleBella's last sentance in the OP.

I know, I have decided I dont like men much, I'm going to be gay and female in my next life I think, women are far more reasonable....
