Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

I watched the BBC adaptation of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL this weekend and quite liked it. All the performances were excellent, and I liked how it brought an air of menace and danger to magic, especially in the person of the psychotic Gentleman With The Thistledown Hair. He brought to mind the Terry Pratchett quote about Elves: namely, that Elves are terrific, in that they bring terror.

Regrettably, it did not include my favorite scene from the book, but nothing can be perfect, alas. 🙂
