innie_darling from lj here: have you seen the BBC production of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South? It is tremendously good.

Have you seen the "Barchester Towers" with Alan Rickman as Mr. Slope? And of course there's the adaptation of the Palliser novels in about 8,000 parts (with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews being slashy at each other while dressed in impeccable white tie!)
