It was very good so probably why I am staying away from this new version. Natasha was brilliant in her role and I don't think either Natalie or Scarlet (don't know who is playing who) will match her. Also, I find smaller productions focus more on the characters than the look of the production, if you know what I mean. Take Pride & Prejudice, the film just didn't work at all for me because although it looked lovely, I just didn't care about the main leads at all (Kiera Knightley playing yet another feisty English rose ref. King Arthur & Pirates) whereas in the BBC version, I really liked Lizzie and felt like I understood where she was coming from. But hey, Hollywood has it's own agenda right?

I don't think it ever aired here in the U.S. (on BBC America or Masterpiece Theatre). I was wondering if it was any good. Speaking of the Tudors, is that any good?

Just curious. Don't worry, Sarah. I'm sure the rain'll be back eventually. As much as I dislike constant rain (multiple storms back-to-back), this sunshine and heat of late has had me going "Huh?" Feels like late summer instead of winter. And we definitely need more rain this year. (Watch, I probably jinxed it, and we'll get the wettest spring ever. Haha.)
