So Doctor Thorne is pretty great. (I'd forgotten about it until I read an article I think FrockFlicks linked to, and watched it today.) The ending was a little overtidy, but I really appreciated the journey. I would rate the hair and costumes fairly highly, although the clothing was marred by my constant complaint, "why are the corsets mashing their boobs up so high?" I really like Tom Hollander, there's something about him that seems so nice even when he's playing a dickbag like John Ruskin, you know? Also, Rebecca Front plays Andromeda Tonks in my head.

Julian Fellowes is good in small doses, it's his long-term plotting that's a problem.
