I now have all 9 productions of this famous book. Only Ciaran Hinds' had Mr. Rochester's dog, PILOT, as a "black and white long-haired lion-like dog" - i.e. a Landseer Newfoundland - I have a brown Newfoundland as my Medical Alert Service Dog, and I have had 4 Newfs in my life. The different breeds used to play PILOT are interesting, but not true to the book. Here, Pilot is played by a Scottish Deerhound, and being of Scottish/Welsh ethnic origins, it was impressive. This one was incredibly profound in the lead roles and Jane's inbred tact and tenacity came to the forepoint in her handling of every barrier placed in front of her throughout her life. Superb acting.

I don't usually like this type of show. But, the characters starring in this show are so interesting, they draw you in and keep you wanting to see more, especially Ruth Wilson. She is pretty amazing. Toby Stephens was excellent in his role also. This is one of my favorite shows ever now.

Next to Pride & Prejudice as best love story of all time. 2006 Masterpiece Theatre is our favorite version. Ruth Wilson is VERY believable in the role. Gothic darkness is just right. Like a fine wine. Four episodes. Keep in perm library!

I LOVE this version of 'Jane Eyre'!! Toby Stephens is the PERFECT Rochester! I'd been waiting for this movie to be reasonably priced on DVD & now I have it. I have also ordered the original 'Jane Eyre' with Orson Welles & Joan Blondell (the first 'JE' movie I'd ever seen & this led me to read the book). Thank you ever so much for having this classic film available at a good price. DVD is in EXCELLENT condition & I am looking forward to sharing this classic with my daughter.

There are two versions of this Jane Eyre with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens. The Masterpiece Theater version is complete with no missing scenes. The BBC version is just a shortened version of this one. I was happy to finally find the complete one. I could have done without the scene where they are playing with the Ouija board, as I hate the demonic but it is done as a way for Mr Rochester to pick with Blanche and is not passed off as them really engaging with evil spirits. This goes for the gypsyvwoman too. I skip over those scenes when I watch it now. I enjoyed watching Mr Rochester going from a very dark path to the light at the very end. Very faithfully played by all of the characters. DVD arrived in excellent condition although used and it arrived on time.
