Anne with an E

Whyever not? Many books are reinterpreted time and again. I can't begin to think how often Pride and Prejudice must have been filmed for tv or cinema! Or Jane Eyre, to name but two.

Each interpretation can bring something new. Some versions will work, some won't. If I didn't want to see a different interpretation then I wouldn't watch a filmed version at all, I'd stick to the books.

I haven’t seen this, but I don’t like the idea of anyone messing about with the books. They don't need a ‘fresh approach’.

Yes the second series started to be aired on the 6th July.

Is this the second series? We loved the first one, and thought it was a fresh new approach to the books.

Apparently this series is a "reimagining" of the classic books, and doesn't follow the stories in the original. When I read the synopsis at the beginning of the first series I was put off watching it because I loved the books so much.

I loved the first series. The actress has captured the essence of Anne. It's early days but I'm not enjoying this series as much. It's been about 60 years since I read many of the books but I don't remember those 2 boarders or Gilbert going to Jamaica. But I may be wrong.
