My wife read the Diary of Anne Frank last year for English class, and when we visited Amsterdam we went to see the house.
The house in this TV series is exactly the same as the real house, almost to the extent that I wonder if they filmed it there.
The story as told in this series is very close to the book and shows Anne as she shows herself in her diary. An intelligent, boisterous, moody, lively teenage girl.
The fact that she was SO full of energy and ideas and yet was cooped up in those rooms for so long is the really moving thing about the book I think and they have captured it very well in the series.
This BBC drama feels completely authentic, I can't think of anything to criticise it about at all!
