Featured review
Not the classic that everyone knows but just as charming in its own way, and more time spent with the story means more of the novel adapted
This is available on YouTube and it is well worth a watch. It doesn't have the charm and the 'part of the cultural fabric' appeal of the 1970 film remake that everyone knows and loves. But it is very charming in its own way. It looks so much older because of the lower budget TV production and the fact it is in black and white. But the episodes are only 20 minutes long so are easily eaten up. But it allows for more time to adapt more of the novel that most people know from the 1970 version.
