Emma - Behind the Scenes - BBC

[@Krissishawn]

This is by far my favorite adaptation! I really felt the casting was perfect. This version was almost identical to the way I saw it in my head as I read the novel!! I have read this novel many times over and just recently came across this adaptation for the film. I am in love with this film!! Fantastic !!!

[@srunik]

this version is the best one....:-)..I can watch it over and over again...

[@NiVi192]

I actually think the latest 2020 version is the best ... by far! I agree however that this one is better than all the others before. Romola Garai alone is hands down superb! Exactly how you'd imagine her to be from the book.

I love this version and have it on while I work. I really didn't like Emma 2020 much at all. I felt it was a whimsical take and very pretty looking, but not really the spirit of the novel. You never understand why Knightley even loves Emma. She's a caricature of what people think Emma is, not as how she is presented in the novel. This version captures the true Emma - a multi-dimensional character.

This is absolutely my favorite. I just got done watching it AGAIN. (Jan 2024) I can't even watch any of the others because this one is too good. ❤️ From 🇺🇸

[@gzsaos51]

Certainly the best adaptation of Emma! Kudos to the cast, especially the two actors playing the lead characters.

[@muzilluv64]

i can watch this adaptation over and over again!!! its just so amazing......makes you really fall in love with jane austen's characters !!!!!!

[@nikkiree1994]

What a beautifully done adaptation. Ms. Garai and Mr. Miller did a fantastic job. Love. Love. Love this Emma! Thank you!

[@robb4cubs]

The screenwriter's comments about wanting to inspire people to go read the book after seeing a film adaptation was great. I was satisfied to know after watching this clip that she also wrote the screenplay to North and South, which inspired me to read the book by Elizabeth Gaskell.

I love the BBC for revisiting these classics!

[@natthor]

Just saw this in Canada, and I must say its fantastic. Many of the other productions of Austen novels have had a few characters that are miscast, but in this case everyone was great. It may even be my favourite of all adaptations.

[@gotGodandHislove]

You guys did really really well and Im completely satisfied with your version of Emma. :) All the actors were well cast, the lighting, scenes, script. everything was up to mark and beyond! Thank you so much for making this for people to finally see come to life! It was a great treat!

[@JesusSavedJoshua]

thank you Sandy Welch. a new 55 year old Austen fan thanks to you. well done.

[@JesusSavedJoshua]

exceptional cast and production. wow. thanks

[@maryhamric]

I am so hooked on this version.

[@CosmicBertie]

Best production of the best novel!

[@wenglishsal]

Well done... well done indeed BBC and the Mistress of novels Jane Austen.. Brilliant, funny, witty and had such colour to the characters... I am a happy lady indeed... :0)x

[@maybf4e]

Is one of the best series that i see in my life. Of course, all are of the BBC

[@BluesHonkey]

I agree that this is the best Emma. But all three famous Emma's are excellent in their own ways. My one objection here is the very insubstantial Jane Fairfax. Bravo, in any case.

[@faj11]

i loved this adaptation i thought it was an excellent mini series!

[@unrox]

i absolutely loved this adaptation especially it was so bright and vivid! =]

[@lamestguyintown]

Brilliant acting from actors.

[@carriew5106]

This remains one of my favourite adaptations. It's also what I think of (along with North and South) when I think of the late and great Sir Michael Gambon.

[@sanitythroughmadness]

You guys have definitely done your job. Terrific! =D

[@ChocolateIsMyDrug]

Haha, love the Austen referencing! I too love this series, and think it the 'sweetest and best of all Austen adaptations, faultless in spite of all its faults'. ;)

[@EverlastingxHope]

I wasn't looking too forward to this adaptation due to some of the negative reviews it got, and also that I felt nobody could have done it better than Gywneth Paltrow. But I watched it on KZbin ( thank you KZbin!) and I loved it so much I was so sorry it was short :)

[@ArwenUndomiel11977]

I had to remind him that he was a knight of the realm the other day. :P Love

[@nancydeppandhamlet]

I’m in a vicious cycle where I pick up the book, then watch this, then later on pick up the book...

[@yoozuk]

It's so funny seeing Eli Stone acting in English. Jonny Lee Miller is so cute!!

[@sallyannerenee]

Thanks for posting!

[@Prisha308]

Hope we could see it nearly on DVD outside UK!!

[@malinhessedahl]

Love this tv serie 💓📷🎥🎬💓

[@nemeplus3]

FYI it will be shown in the US this winter as part of the Masterpiece Classic series on PBS.

[@catherinejuliet9906]

Good to know. I can re-watch it then! :D

[@puddlemini]

@srunik I know exactly how you feel. I fall for them everytime I watch it. Certainly one of the best, if not the best, adaptation to a Jane Austen novel

[@animeheartofpassion]

i like Sandy Welch's writing more than Andrew Davies'

[@justdance101]

When does this show on TV??? x

[@CCC-rd3gc]

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@puddlemini]

@foxfacist I was laughing so much. Everyone was so serious and sincere and then...him. :D

[@PaulaBoardman]

They've already done 6 hours of P&P

[@Magnificat17]

Nice adaptation as far as Emma's adaptations go... My least favourite of the novels but I believe they got the tone right. Austen would have approved, I think!

[@sageantone7291]

I hate that he feels like he has to cater to contemporary audiences and be "modern!" in some way. He doesn't. The material speaks for itself. And, thankfully, it ended up being the most faithful in spite of it.

[@hedgehogy96]

If you find the user: cat4fab on youtube you will find the episodes if you are still looking for them :)

[@jacksugden8190]

All in a day’s work.

[@Magnificat17]

@Leidilandelta Yeah, he looks beautiful in that scene. It's the light I think... not that he's not a handsome guy, he defentely is. But, you know, the lights and the costume... ;-)

[@dipanjoli]

please do 4 hours of pride and prejudice..
