This is a good one! I got it in the mail yesterday and I love the way they speak to the camera and the way they recap really fast before almost every act. It's kind of funny.
Smike is heartbreaking (I've never seen a Smike that didn't break my heart...I've seen two others). Smike is always my favorite character because he's such a sweetheart.

This is a great one!

It's one of those stories that is so layered and rich that many adaptations are possible. I really liked the recent one starring Charlie Hunnam and Christopher Plummer, for instance. But the RSC was the first version of the story that I saw, in all its sprawling glory, and it'll always be the best for me. :)
