Classic BBC dramas on iplayer - anyone else watching?

[driftingdownintomiami]

Just wanted to see if anyone else had spotted these. I've watched Smiley's People which was excellent, and now working my way through the 70s adaptations of Jane Austen. Patricia Routledge as Mrs Jennings in Sense and Sensibility is an absolute riot (despite looking younger than the actress playing Lady Middleton!) The acting is a bit creaky but they're really good fun.

I’ll have to have a look, I love a BBC adaptation. Just finished Little Dorrit.

Thank you for the steer, @driftingdownintomiami just switching on ep 1 of S+S

Yes, just finished Tinker Tailor and about to start on Smiley's people. And if you like Spy dramas 'Spy/Master on iplayer is good too.

God I'm sorry - no idea what happened there, insane multi-post !

I thought it was really interesting and there were a couple of points where I thought Emma Thompson may have been inspired! Not as polished as these things are now of course 😁

@AmyDudleyseeing as you recommended it so many times I'll give it a try 😁

Don’t bother with Sense and Sensibility 1972. Really hammy acting, Elinor and Marianne indistinguishable, Margaret written out.
