I just rewatched this and still love it just the same. The characters are so wondeful!

It’s good to dream

Oh my goodness. Well, Molly is an obvious choice. She's fantastic. But I did absolutely LOVE Lady Harriet.

Um. And Roger. Very sexy voice. Don't know why they even attempted to put forward that Obsborne was the handsomer of the two ... they certainly didn't cast them that way! Nice guy too.

And surprisingly ... well, no, I guess this can't go in the running for favorite character. But ... Mr. Preston. He's certainly a wretched character. But I thought the actor very interesting, and probably a decent man. Which may be then that he was a tad miscast, because he didn't seem at all as heinous as the character clearly was. Am I making sense?

I liked them all actually, even Mr. Prescott!

Oh that's tough... once the obvious faves are taken it doesn't leave a lot of room for the great secondary characters, which are particularly fab imo.

1: Molly Gibson (One of my favorite heroines and Justine was just lovely in the part) 2: Mr Preston (He was the most interesting character in it and Iain Glen stole the show) 3: Dr Gibson (Kind, patient and understanding with everyone) 4: Squire Hamley (Really funny and heartbreakingly sad) 5: Clare (Too funny) And I would like to give a shout out to Robbinson the butler - so funny.
