## Description

1855. When Doctor Thorne's penniless niece, Mary, is excluded from the wedding preparations of her childhood playmate, she probes her uncle for the truth of her birth. She is devastated to learn that she is the illegitimate child of his late brother. It seems she has neither breeding nor fortune. This is a problem, as Mary and the heir to the Greshamsbury Estate, Frank, have fallen in love. Frank is under strict instructions from his over-bearing mother, Lady Arabella, to save his family from financial ruin by marrying money. Frank's mother schemes to separate the two lovebirds, encouraging her son to woo the wealthy American heiress, Miss Dunstable. Meanwhile, Doctor Thorne acts as both physician and business advisor to railway millionaire, Sir Roger Scatcherd, in whose hands the fate of Greshamsbury lies and who is rapidly drinking himself into an early grave. Frank finally plucks up the courage to propose to Mary and Doctor Thorne gives him his blessing, but not before he has filled him in on the scandalous truth surrounding her birth. Lady Arabella continues her persecution of Mary, and is furious when Frank tells her he is set on marrying Doctor Thorne's penniless niece.

Review: Julian Fellowes does it again with another outstanding literary series - Saw this on cable and had to get the DVD. Julian Fellowes adapts one of Anthony Trollope's wonderful tales of life in the fictional Barsetshire, this story first published in 1858, centers on the problems of the Gresham family, now strapped for cash and antagonized by the recalcitrant Sir Roger Scatcherd, ex-convict turned very wealthy railway man. Holding all of this together is the country doctor and virtuous good soul, Dr. Thorne, who attends all of them. Dr. Thorne also has a beautiful niece, Mary, who has lived with Dr. Thorne since her infancy. The Gresham's oldest son, Frank, has come of age and their wish is to get Frank to marry money in order to salvage their lifestyle. Frank is in love with Mary Thorne. There is something a shadow cast across Mary Thorne which would complicate or compromise her being a suitable choice for Frank and inconveniently, she is from the humble house of her uncle, a poor country doctor. All of this is made clear in the opening five minutes or so, I give nothing away. The ensuing four episodes take us on quite a ride. It is a surprisingly modern tale in that no one is as obviously good - or bad - as they may seem on the surface. For anyone who was a fan of Downton Abbey, this is right up your street. There are a number of familiar faces from Downton Abbey in the cast as well as others well-known from other British period dramas. Tom Hollander, as the pillar of strength, Dr. Thorne, is wonderfully cast. Stephanie Martini as his niece, Mary Thorne, could hardly be more charming or more beautiful. Ian McShane as the prickly Sir Roger Scatcherd is a rare treat. Perhaps my favorite thing of all is that each of the four episodes is introduced by Julian Fellowes, comfortably seated in a wing chair by the fire as he introduces the series and Anthony Trollope to us, his audience. He offers a similar de-briefing at the end of each episode and it truly makes for the icing on a very lovely cake. I could not have enjoyed this series any more! I give it the highest praise!
Review: Fabulous fun! - My title says it all. This is one of the best Victorian stories ever written or filmed. The book was written by Anthony Trollope. The screen version was written by Julian Fellowes, of Downton Abbey fame. So you know it is good! The costumes are just breathtakingly beautiful. The countryside was in glorious Summer bloom. Tom Hollander is perfect as the understated doctor. All the actors are top notch. I love it when I discover new actors that are so perfectly cast. Just watch it! You will love it. Watch it a second time and it will become one of your all time favorites in period drama.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A jolly good production, dvd came promptly
*by T***R on March 1, 2019*

Finding this miniseries last year was a great thrill for our Anglophilic family; a good adaptation with excellent casting, exquisite scenery, and plenty of dramatic irony. A tale of the good, the not-so-bad, and the sadly dissipated, these characters and their lives weave a tale that entertains the whole family (discretion for kids, of course). The DVD arrived quickly— even during the time that Amazon was having delays because of the loss of their storehouse. Good quality, good price, and a great addition to our period-drama library.
