... obstacles in their way. Readers may soon notice some similarities between Henry Lawrence and Frank Churchill from Emma by Jane Austen, but the romance unravels differently for Henry and Margaret than it does from Frank and Emma. Readers that enjoy Jane Austen's books and the recent spin-offs will enjoy Willoughby's Return -- a fast-paced, regency novel with a modern flair....

... as a mouse. I was not thrilled with Rupert Evans, and have yet to see an actor who I have as Frank Churchill. Though Rupert was suitably sleazy, he just did not look like the Frank of my imagination. See the results of the polls in this link with peoples' votes for the actors who portrayed the main characters. The interiors are shot in a way that remind one of a Vermeer painting...

... make an appearance; listen for them and enjoy. The cast is a delight. Emma, Jane Fairfax, and Frank Churchill all have lovely singing voices, so their duets are a special treat. (If you’ve ever wanted to hear “Robin Adair”, this is your chance.) Ample comic relief is provided by Mr. Woodhouse, Mrs. and Miss Bates, and the Eltons, but Harriet Smith is the standout in this category....

... to get on my nerves. This Emma is wayyy too fluttery and gushy when it comes to the as-yet-unmet Frank Churchill. I didn’t like her almost sycophantic finessing of the Constant Enscombe Delays situation, even if she did do it for Mr. Weston’s benefit. In the novel, Emma tries to be positive for his sake. It seems apparent to her, however, that something is amiss in Frank’s...

... close to Emma in the carriage on the way to the party from which poor Harriet is excluded. I liked Frank Churchill the moment I saw him, in fact he's shaping up to be my favourite Frank Churchill. Something about his face, his figure, his whole demeanour, is like a twinkle in the eye. Frank is out for fun, and thinking about the consequences will take second place...

The chief meddler is beginning to show that she has a conscience Sarah Dempster on Emma: episode one Week two and Highbury was abuzz with fresh faces. Twenty years after they'd departed the village in the obligatory rickety coaches, Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill were back, back, back: the former now a reticent oddball brooding silently under Miss Bates' fussy aunt-shaped wing, the...

... who in the story and where they rank in the larger social scheme. We learn that Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill both come from unfortunate circumstances, while young Emma “stayed comfortably at home, with very little to distress or vex her for many years to come.” Sandy Welch did a good job of contextualizing the events in Emma without deviating too far from actual scenes and dialog...

Before then the silhouettes based on the Edward Austen-Leigh drawings are intermingled with the opening credits. From then on Garai steals the show, reaching a climax in her furious row with...
