Jamaica Inn

Well, as you're paid up until next Christmas you may as well have a look every now and then, apricot!

I must admit I noticed the speed of reloading If you've ever fired a flintlock pistol you'll know how long it takes. DH came in at the end of the gun fight and remarked that the pistol shot was way too quiet so I just said "Never mind the sound, you should have seen how many shots they were able to get off"
I'm going to have to read the book again - there was so much I didn't recognise I shall have to find out what really happened!

Never fired a flintlock pistol [surprisingly] so all the gun talk doesn't mean much to me, having just watched the final episode. This series did get better, the second and third episodes were good, but still couldn't understand Joss Merlin's mumblings.Very romantic ending, they went off into the sunset after all. Very high body count in this series, surely the book wasn't as graphic?

The best thing about Jamaica Inn was having coffee there on Wednesday on our way home from Cornwall. My friends and I were so relieved to find out that we weren't really going deaf as we watched the drama on TV in . Bodmin. Shame they had to film it in Ireland! Not exactly the best bbc production !

Long time since I read the book so wondered if they always called her Mary Yellan all the time in it? I just kept thinking of The Waltons and half expected John Boy to appear at any moment. Other than that I found it totally tedious and the girl playing Mary Yellan was characterless. Had it been someone like Gemma Arterton in Tess of the d'Urbervilles I would have watched it regardless of the sound quality. Very disappointing.

Disapointing is the right word.
