Remake of A woman of substance

I couldn’t get Vera out of my head either. 😂
I’ll stick with it but I thought the acting was poor.

I watched the first few minutes, but all I could see and hear was Vera on her best behaviour!!

Certainly a nod to Emily Brontë as the dad carried the mother out as she was dying. The scenery and even the house shown in the landscape was so Wuthering Heights. Had the feeling that everything had been seen in other books/dramas. Even the reference to the wife shut away upstairs was a nod to Charlotte Brontë. Hmm! Will probably give it another go.

Hmmm........what? You mean the ubiquitous Amanda Holden won't be in it?

Hmm. I fell asleep half way through but was recording it so just finished watching it. I think I may have fallen asleep due to boredom rather than tiredness.

I'll give it another go next week but it didn't grip me. Shame, I was looking forward to it.

I read the books,did say to other half that looking at the previews we have the obligatory sex scenes,yawn...

It starts tonight!

Oh yes, I loved the original series with the beautiful Jenny Seabrook.
I just hope that they don't fiddle with perfection, when making the new adaption!

Blackie?

I’ve been listening to this on Audible for years, after having first read the books years ago, as I can pick it up anywhere, so I’m looking forward to seeing this.

Was the original the one with Liam Neesom in it, playing the chap whose name escapes me?

Always thought how attractive he was.

Yes you are right Liam neeson played blackie o neill in the original series

I watched the TV series with my daughters. We were all in love with Liam Neeson! 😋

I read the books a long time ago but never watched the series. Looking forward to seeing Brenda Blethyn. As shelflife said can't go wrong with Brenda Blethyn.

Bound to be a wonderful series, cant go wrong with Brenda Blethyn!

I have seen the trailer and what a transformation for Brenda Blethyn. A big step up from her mac and hat. Wonderful actress.

Was it Blackie Liam Neeson played?

Yes it was. (A very young Liam Neeson ). And Deborah Kerr as the older Emma. That was a lifetime ago!

I loved it the first time around, hope this new one is just as good.

Was it Blackie Liam Neeson played?

Will make a note of this. Loved the book but never watched the other mini series.

Was the original the one with Liam Neesom in it, playing the chap whose name escapes me?

Always thought how attractive he was.

What a shame that Barbara Taylor Bradford isn’t here to see it. I loved the book, and recently tried to watch the original series, but gave up as it was so dated.
Really looking forward to this remake with Brenda Blethyn.

It starts on 11 March, channel 4.

Ooh that’s something to look forward to 👍🏻
