Quotes:
Mortimer Lightwood:
But he still lives, and he did you dreadful injury, and I cannot help but feel he should be punished.
Eugene Wrayburn: No, Mortimer. He does not live. And he did me a favor.
Mortimer Lightwood: A favor!
Eugene Wrayburn: Yes. Oh yes, consider this. Had he not attacked me, I don't know what I would have done. How I would have injured her in my reckless passion. Mortimer, listen. Listen. I would have lost her respect, any possibility of our love would have gone forever, consider that. And consider what I have, now. And then tell me whether the schoolmaster lives, if not as some ghost between here and hell, knowing as he does that he brought us together... You think he does not have punishment enough?

This is a great adaptation. It is well cast and all the performances are excellent. I particularly liked the performances of David Morrissey as Bradley Hellstone and Stephen Mackintosh as John Rokesmith.
The script remains fairly faithful to the book, and the costumes and scenery give a very convincing Victorian look.
