Les Miserables

We have just started watching this via iPlayer and were rivetted. We also love the musical and the film, but this is a whole different ballgame and it is excellent, with some great acting. Looking forward to further episodes.

* Anja* wise words, though this TV version is the genre I prefer, so far!

very disappointed with the last two episodes. Let's hope the last one tonight is much better.

Oh I haven’t been disappointed with any of the episodes they have all held me spell bound I am going to be bereft after tonight
I m loving every minute of it

Just loved the whole programme. Brilliantly acted out. Thought I would miss the music but have to say I haven’t. Can’t wait for final episode tonight.

I’m with the loved it brigade ?.

And me. Was great.

Oh yes, just cried as he died I want it to start all over again
What on earth will I do with my Sunday nights
Loved every minute if it

Probably a lot of money spent on this production but there were continuity slip ups. I did not particularly enjoy the last two episodes.

Good television but made me sad and angry at times.
Have just finished watching The Long Song on iplayer. Would recommend this to fill a few Sunday evenings if you haven't already seen it.

I loved it too


However, I do want something a bit more cheerful now as a contrast for Sunday evening viewing!

I usually notice continuity slip-ups, modern discrepancies in period dramas, but I was so enrapt I must have missed them harrigran.

One of my sons Facetimed me at ten to ten, arrrggghhh! I was totally immersed in it until then.

I've really enjoyed it and thought it got better and better as it went on.

I cried my eyes out the last half hour of it tonight. ?

Yes I enjoyed it tonight but tears after that and The Midwife as well. What am I going to watch now?

I enjoyed it a lot, I'm sorry its finished. It's unusual to have two good programmes on the same evening like Midwife and Les Mis.

I rarely weep at film or TV.. but my eyes were leaking at reunion scene in the convent garden. I think it has been a high quality production from start to finish. The acting was strong and the direction good too. Worth whatever bit of my licence fee gets to the beeb!

A fine adaptation true to the book. I loved it too.

Harrigran what did you notice?

I’ve not read the book, but I’ve seen the stage production and the film. (many times) I enjoyed them both, but much preferred the tv version. Loved it! I thought the cast were outstanding

I'm so glad I didn't remember the ending. Was convinced that the phone would ring; it never rings except when I'm watching the last episode of something wonderful. But it didn't. Boy was I in tears. Even found myself loving Cosette who I'd found truly irritating up until the last half hour. What amazing acting/directing/producing etc etc. Hoping to see it on stage next year when it comes my way.

I too loved it and found the ending very moving. I've watched the film and seen the stage show, which I absolutely adored, but this adaptation was just as good. Call the Midwife and Les Miserables, wonderful Sunday evening viewing.

Loved it!

I thought the last episode was rather dark and I couldn't see what was happening. They also needed to teach the whole cast how to say Bonjour and Monsieur. It sounded like budge o'er mushuh half the time.

We were enthralled all the way on this one. Acting of the highest quality, great production values and for once the background music enhanced the story-telling rather than distracted from it. A total triumph in our house.
