Setin a lavishly protrayed society well-stocked with outlandish nobels and gossip villagers, the assertion centers around 17 year old Molly Gibson.Unwise stepmothers, romantic betrayals, encoded marriages--these are not just the makings of fresh soap operas; this is what makes the BBC's engaging four-episode miniseries Wives and Daughters come to duration. Sweet Molly Gibson (played artfully by Justine Waddell, who communicates more with a squint of her eyes than most actresses can with pages of communication) was living life pleasantly when her widowed old man (Bill Paterson) decides that, for the good of his daughter, he must remarry. In comes Claire, played to screeching superiority by Francesca Annis. Molly's living is turned upside down by the usually well connotation but off-the-mark Claire, who insists on things being done the decent way. Added to the stew is Claire's fair, educated daughter, Cynthia (Keeley Hawes), and the Hamleys, a well-to-do m headed by a squire (Michael Gambon) who is not elated about the romantic interests of his sons.
As is representative with BBC miniseries, the quality writing and green sets add to the overall appeal. Andrew Davies, who adapted Arrogance and Prejudice and Bridget Jones's Date-book, penned the marvelous screenplay (based on Elizabeth Gaskell's unfinished romance). It's impossible not to compare this to the ever-popular Flower, and Wives and Daughters measures up. --Jenny Brown Look over more
