• “A fantastic adaptation. Each character was superbly played and the whole tale kept me constantly in suspecce. It was not at all predictable which was utterly enchanting and the characters really came to life. I actually felt as though I was there! Well done to Sandy Welch and Kate Harwood it was thoroughly enjoyable and I will no doubt watch it 20 times over! ”

• “Like emma herself, I loved it despite its flaws.i have read the book many times, and it is my favourite JA book, but I still found room to enjoy this. I enjoyed the performances of Romola Garai (very good in "I capture the castle") and Jonny Lee Miller-so much so that i have purchased the DVD so can view it with my sisters (also JA fans) when they visit fron canada. ”

  From: Fanny

• “The best adaptation I've seen. Not the closest to the novel, certainly in the case of the heroine. Yet Romola's more modern portrayal brings a vibrancy and shows an emotional side to Emma that makes her much easier to like as we follow her journey to love. The whole miniseries looks beautiful and smacks of quality. A few quibbles here and there but to insist they spoil this version brings to mind the attitude and comments of Mrs Elton in the final paragraph of the novel regarding Emma's wedding-'Mrs. Elton, from the particulars detailed by her husband, thought it all extremely shabby, and very inferior to her own.-"Very little white satin, very few lace veils"”

  From: Graham

• “Some interesting re- examination of Austen's themes but overall this adaptation was ruined by casting errors, misconceptions of the characters' motivations and a willfully cavalier attitude to Austen's language.”

  From: Jane

• “A thoroughly enjoyable version of Jane Austen's classic tale. Romola Garai's interpretation of Emma was enchanting and Jonny Lee Miller has become my favourite Mr Knightley. I know I will watch this countless times in years to come! ”

  From: Julia

• “Lively and delicately done... I think the casting is great and there's strong chemistry between Knightley and Emma. It delivers an innocence about Emma's personality. It's modernized but not in a detrimental way to the story. This is my favourite Emma adaptation, no question.”
