  • Well worth watching.

    As an avid reader of Thomas Hardy, I found theses adaptations true to his writing, and always a moral or too to be found in his tales. CD was good quality , sound not too bad considering the age of the original production.

    Not the best of hatdy but some nice little tales here and typical tragedy and melancholy thrown in.
