Can't believe it!, 28 July 2008
Author: Richard Holden (Petrushka@cox.net) from Tucson, Arizona

This is a great series from BBC but there is a problem here. I can hardly believe no mention here of the star, Margaret Tyzack. As if she didn't exist. She has such a long career in TV and movies. As Cousin Bette her performance is remarkable. Now at age 77 or so she should have been given credit. I believed I saw this on PBS sometime during the 80s. I must be mistaken as it's dated 1971. But it could have been a re-run. It seems to have just come out on DVD so I just rented it. There exists another version with Jessica Lange. This arrived in 1998 but I have not seen it. I can't imagine any other Cousin Bette than Tyzack but when I finish watching all 5 episodes of this version I'll rent the Lange one.
