    • Trivia
      Ruth Wilson stated this mini-series as being her first big break out role since graduating drama school.
    • Goofs
      In the establishing long shoot of the scene, "An Ernest Proposal," Rochester is standing in the shade and Jane is walking from the sun into the shaded area. When the dialog begins, although they've maintained their positions, Jane is now standing in the shade and Rochester is standing in the sun. This is probably due to the dialog being filmed at a different time.
    • Quotes

      Jane Eyre: Sir, I need to have a leave of absence for a week or two, to see a sick lady who's asked for me.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: What sick lady?

      Jane Eyre: Her name is Reed. She's my uncle's wife.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Uncle? You told me you had no family.

      Jane Eyre: My aunt cast me out when I went away to school.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Why?

      Jane Eyre: Because I was poor. And she did not like me.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: And she sent you to Lowood without so much as a word or a visit in nearly ten years. So why does she suddenly want to see you now?

      Jane Eyre: Her son John is dead. He ruined himself. She's now struck down with his misfortune. I'll only be gone two weeks, I hope.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Two weeks? That's not possible.

      Jane Eyre: You have company, sir.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Very well. But promise me, you'll not stay with this undeserving aunt more than a week.

      Jane Eyre: I cannot promise you. She is dying. I cannot set a time on that.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Of course, you'll go. I haven't got the power to stop you. You must have some money. Can't travel without money. I haven't given you any salary yet, remember? How much have you, Jane, in whole the world?

      Jane Eyre: Five shillings, sir.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Here, take fifty pounds.

      Jane Eyre: No, Sir. You only owe me fifteen. I have no change.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: I don't want change, Jane. You know that. Take your wages.

      [Jane nods no]

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: You're right. Better not give you all that. You might stay away for three months. Here. There's ten. Wasn't that enough?

      Jane Eyre: Yes, sir. But you still owe me five.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Then, come back for it.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Sir, I have to ask you something else, a matter of business. You have as good as said you intend to be married.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Really? That has been settled then, has it? You've decided that Miss Ingram is to be my bride. Now I see it. You're going to prevail upon that miserable family to find you a new situation. Ungrateful girl, admit it!

      Jane Eyre: No, sir. I've told you they do not like me, sir. To offer such a service... I shall advertise.

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Devil, you will! Advertise! I wish I'd only offered you a sovereign, not ten whole pounds. Give me back nine.

      [Jane puts her hands behind her]

      Edward Fairfax Rochester: Jane, I have need of it.

      Jane Eyre: [smiles, her hands still behind her back] No, sir. I do not trust you.

    Outstanding drama - the best of the BBC
    A lavish production in all the right ways (script, cast, direction, location, details), this is a perfect literary adaptation - very much in the heritage of the BBC's 1996 Pride and Prejudice, but perhaps even better. Toby Stephens (the son of Dame Maggie Smith) plays the brusque, flawed Mr Rochester with exactly the right admixture of arrogance and warmth, while newcomer Ruth Wilson is luminous as English rose Jane Eyre - like a swan swimming, her impassive face nevertheless conveys a wealth of feeling churning beneath. The location filming is handled deftly, with careful camera angles leaving us with the sense that we haven't seen everything yet - and oh, what locations: this is how it was always supposed to look.

    Highly recommended.
