Booth likes it
because of the journey his character goes on.
That's right. The journey.
As if I needed a greater incentive to stay away from what looks like a dreadful version.
Booth has been paid money for it so he will obviously like it. Agatha Christie's descendants like the execrable ITV travesties of 'Miss Marple' for much the same reason.
shareWhat, you don't like either Margaret Rutherford OR Joan Hickson?
edit: Okay, so Rutherford wasn't in any BBC productions. She was still fun.
Re Booth: I see where you're going with his comment, and I agree. He's pretty to look at, but his face has no character and hardly a whit of intelligence. I think the producers wanted a Justin Bieber clone to draw teenage girls. Sigh.
I'm old and crochety, so perhaps I shouldn't give them young 'uns such a hard time, but I'd wager neither he nor the gal who played Estella even read the book.
