Hilarity and pathos shine through Trollope's story.
Has that special quality of both sympathy and humour. Can be very very funny but also extremely moving. The introductory music has a lot to do with that and the beautiful opening scenes of the cathedral and its nostalgic surroundings with the early railways, which gives you a sense of peering back into an earlier time which comes alive. Alan Rickman's performance is just too too comic because he thinks so much of himself, and Geraldine McEwan is riveting as a fanatically inappropriate reformer who would so much rather be the Bishop than her husband. I love it when she tells Mrs Quiverful to stop crying immediately and she will sort matters out, and when Mrs Quiverful ruefully pulls straw out of her shawl after taking a ride on the farmer's cart on her way to the Bishop's palace. However there is no doubt that Donald Pleasance is the star, giving a performance that balances fun and true spirituality without any hint of mawkishness. Ten out of ten for a DVD that will find a permanent place on my shelf.

Well made, but slightly dull, period drama
Not sure what I was expecting with this, but it was not as gripping as some other work by the same author. A bit dull, but well made and acted.

Absolutely superb.
All the BBC dramatisations of Trollope's novels are superb. Nothing can compare with The Pallisers, however, if you don't have an appetite for 26 episodes try this one. First class and engaging acting by all the cast. Can thoroughly recommend it.

CLASSIC BBC SERIAL
CLASSIC BBC serial. Great characters and very enjoyable production that is faithful to the original text by Trollope. Beautiful costumes too. I enjoyed mine so much I bought this copy for a friend, so she can enjoy it too.

Barchester Chronicles
I would commend his to anyone. A wonderfully honest view of the church at the time, but told with such humour. Many of our well know actors when they were much younger. It is all very ell done.

Gentle and beautifully acted by all.
Good to re-watch Alan Rickman's 'arrival' role again, a much-missed actor.
