This is my favorite production of Jane Eyre. I am terribly disappointed in this digital copy. As another reviewer noted, there are entire scenes missing. She noted the scene where Jane and Rochester go to town to shop for the wedding. I noted the scene where Rochester and his guests use the ouija board. Both scenes are several minutes. Very disappointing. **I would also like to note that I purchased this on Amazon digital and it is also missing the same scenes**

I'm just giving this 2 stars. Yes, I love this adaptation, and yes the actors were just perfect. I'm now obsessed with Toby Stephens! But.... After purchasing this, I was made aware of almost 40 minutes that were cut from this miniseries.. If you want to watch the "full" version, you can watch on YouTube or you can buy a copy for almost $100. Disappointed that you don't have the full version.

I love this production of Jane Eyre, BUT this version is not the original and has had entire scenes cut out creating strange gaps in the narrative. For example, they're all going to town in the carriage, but then suddenly are back home again. The entire scene in town was cut out. It's unfortunate this is an edited version.
