Reading the Woman in White was a defining moment in my life, it is without doubt one of the best books ever written, and the book I have enjoyed more than any other. About half way through reading it I discovered it had been made into a TV series and was yet to be broadcast, it sticks to the book so well and the characters are all brought to life, especially Marion and Mr Fairlie. Unfortunately some of Wilkie's humour did not translate, in particular Walter's description of Marion upon first meeting her, which in the book made me laugh out loud, it does not in the series. But never the less, the series is excellent and deserves to be seen by an audience so long denied access to it, and now at long last the DVD for this series is available. Well done BBC, you got something right at last!!
