If there was a 6th episode ...


If you could have 50 minutes more of this lovely adaptation, what would you like to include? I would...

... add Rosamund to the Morton part and extend it with the "fight" St. John's experiences (about as much as there is in JE83)
... add the part of the night before the wedding when Jane awaits Mr. Rochester's return and when she goes to meet him
... add more of the month of courting where Jane vexes Mr. Rochester, e.g. when he sings to her and she asks whom he is going to marry
(just for the sake of hearing Michael Jayston sing once more )
... extend the gipsy scene (and not let Jane unveil him beforehand)
... add the shopping trip to Millcote

Ouch, I think I managed to add at least two episodes!

YOU LITTLE NIGGARD!!! JUST 50 MINUTES MORE??? AAAAAAAARGH!!!
In that case, I would add (1) the shopping trip to Millcote, (2) more of the month of courting, and (3) the part of the night before the wedding.
Since "Jane Eyre 1973" had a very, very good pace, I think these three scenes would all fit in just 50 (miserable) minutes. Humph!...
