I'm looking forward to this on Sunday night. I have read the book it is based on, 'The Making if a Marchioness'. It's a sweet little story so I hope ITV do a good job with it and don't sex it up too much.

Written by Francis Hodgson (sp?) Burnett who wrote The Secret Garden, I think :)

We managed to watch it all the way through, but it became more implausible as it got near the end.
It was a bit like something a teenager might have written, or one of Catherine Cookson's poorer efforts!

It gets a long write-up in the Telegraph and they obviously thought a lot more of it than obviously we did!

Well, it's pleasant enough viewing for a time when you don't particularly want to be intellectually challenged!
