BBC1 Jamaica InnBBC1 Jamaica InnIs it just me? I have given up on the last episode, and I know what happens, as I have read the synopsis on the internet. The reviews have not been good, and no wonder. Someone in the hairdresser's was moaning about the mumbling in the first two episodes - we have had the subtitles on. But really, what a dismal, miserable, pathetic portrayal of a great author's book.
Re: BBC1 Jamaica InnI gave up halfway through episode 1. I couldn't understand a word David Thewliss (Joss) said, and couldn't follow what was happening or why. It was so gloomy and I'd rather watch something uplifting. Shame though as I had been looking forward to it. I have found a copy of the book in the charity shop I volunteer in this afternoon as my sister says the book is great.... we will see....
Re: BBC1 Jamaica InnMy neighbour couldn't understand a word of it, and at first thought it must be his hearing!

Re: BBC1 Jamaica InnI did watch all 3 episodes but agree about the filming and sound of this production. After so many complaints about the sound, there was an improvement last evening. What a dismal setting for this story though!! If asked if I would recommend it, the answer would be NO. So disappointing!
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: BBC1 Jamaica InnApparently the sound thing only affected certain Regions ?
I watched some of he first one but decided it was not for me. That girl looks different to what she does in Downton Abbey ! Richard New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
Re: BBC1 Jamaica InnI thought it was just me I don't think the accents that they're trying do help either. The good thing with Mary as they she just has to do 'the look' a lot of the time! I haven't watched the last episode yet but I think I've already guessed 'the bad die'
