Can't wait for this!!!


Looks as though filming begins soon. And I'm so pleased that it is written and directed by Sally Wainwright, who is a writer with great insight.

She says the drama will not be a chocolate box retelling of the story:

"I'm going to show it like it was, really grim. I think it will surprise people with the truth of what their lives were like. The Brontë Society keeps the Parsonage [now a museum] incredibly sp!ck and span. But one of the things we are trying to do is to show how bleak it was in Haworth, which had no proper sanitation."

If there aren't any skeletons in a man's closet, there's probably a Bertha in his attic.

Hopefully, this Christmas on BBC4. Hope it comes to the US for you.

Well, if it doesn't, I'll find it somehow. 😉
