[Hardy-l] BBC: Tess & Hardy Documentary

[Jackie Wilkinson]

I agree with you, Tony. I thought it was very sensitively done, with no
attempts to fill in any gaps with conjecture either. One or two points
niggled me, but all in all I enjoyed Gryff Rees-Jones's approach of 'loving
kindness'. 

All the best to all,

>>Next Sunday, 7 September at 6.30 pm, BBC1 is broadcasting an hour-long
documentary on Hardy 'The Heart of Thomas Hardy', presented by Griff Rhys
Jones.  >From >>the brief Radio Times entry, it appears to be a potted
biography. 
  
>>For the information of non-British Forum subscribers in  parrticular, it
should be available to view online for up to a week after  broadcast on the
BBCiPlayer via its >>website - the same should also apply to each  episode
of the Tess serial.

I enjoyed this documentary, for me it was a good account of Hardy's life and
works in the short time available and appeared to be factually correct,
although I am of course no expert. It managed to convey, to me at least, the
feeling that Hardy was an enlightened, compassionate man. 

Best wishes, 
Tony
