I only made it to the first commercial break in ITV's new adaptation of Wuthering Heights. It were right offul. Like the accents.
This is another example of the casting nowhere near living up to my mental images of the characters. Take a look here if you want to see for yourself, assuming you were astute enough not to have bothered watching.
Tom Hardy just didn't wuther my heights as Heathcliff, nowhere near menacing or brooding enough. This is more what I see.
And poor Andrew Lincoln as Edgar looked like an escapee from Middle Earth in the side whiskers that had been stuck on.
Nelly was portrayed by Sarah Lancashire. Rent-a-northerner these days. She does the one role, but in different costumes.
I didn't view on. The book is one of those I could read again and again. To see Tom Hardy digging up poor Cathy and cuddling the skeleton was too much. And, yes, of course they'd played fast and loose with the order of the story.
Maybe I'm jaded. Maybe I have great expectations (groan). Maybe I'll stick to reading.
(And you're lucky I punned the title with Frights, I had a much better rhyme in mind.)
