Like the BBC 1971 version of Last of the Mohicans which wsas the best made version of that story this Count of Monte Cristo is fantastic.Its a bit of a shame they keep the murder plot out of it but apart from that its excellent.If it had been a movie it would deserve an Oscar.The BBC should see this again and learn from it.Nowadays their historical series are busier with being political correct and not with historical correctness.The acting here is suerb the costumes are beautiful.Maybe they should do it again in color now but that would be the only change i would advise.No costume changes no script-changes.
