To be utterly honest, I prefered 10 Things I Hate About You. Yeah, the teenage-y feel good, Heath Ledger thing. That was fun. This is also fun, but… I dunno. The wonderful Shirley Henderson seems to be having a blast being the shrivelled bitch-lady from hell, gleefully pulling faces as she extends one finger and tells people to “Swivel!”. However… I dunno. It just loses the fun feel near the end, and when Kate starts on about “My lord and master” it’s just more than a little unsettling. Is it supposed to be funny? Urm… sounds serious. And seriously antiquated.

Anyway. Have finally watched all four of these BBC adaptations, and all worth a look. Even this one – as long as I can skip the last 10 minutes!
