First impressions can be wild, as is evident from our dramatic reactions when reviewing our first adaptation of Jane Eyre: the 1983 miniseries. Piper was obsessed, Lillian was disturbed.

In which we answer one of this shows most heated questions - is Lillian crazy enough that she should be locked in an attic…Wait, no, it’s - Is Micheal Jayston one of the best Rochester, or one of the worst? The answer might surprise you! (Oh, a cliffhanger, now you have to listen!) Listen to Our Original 1973 Review Episodes A Deeper Conversation: The 1973 BBC Mini Series (Part One) My Cousin is a Vampire: The 1973 BBC Mini Series (Part Two) In which Piper and Lillian watch one of the most contemporary and creative adaptations of Jane Eyre ever discussed on this podcast. From a grown man playing Pilot the dog, to a haunting and surprisingly contemporary soundtrack, we chat about the unique choices that made this version one of our faves. Listeners, we finished the novel... And LOVED IT! In this episode, Lillian and Piper discuss the significant themes that make their final stand at the end of this story. The power of vulnerability. The beauty of female strength. The delicate balance between faith and religion and the role they play in how we live our lives. We've always suspected there's a reason why this story has withstood the test of time. Now we know why. |
