Hi everyone!

So, last night, I was watching the Emily of New Moon television show (which is very absorbing and great), and I got to wondering who I'd cast as Emily if there was a new adaptation. (If it included all the three novels (Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest I mean.)

Here are my suggestions for who should play what.


It's all just for fun, but I'd love your input.

Thnaks. :)

Woohoo! The thrird Jane Eyre (2006) episode is on the Dutch TV tonight. I can't wait!
I must say that in the first episode I thought that Mr. Rochester's affections for Jane came on a little too quick, but as we move along in the story it starts to make more sense. I'm really enjoying it!

Note: I have never read the novel... :$

LILIES (2007) [

Can we please get a Lilies appreciation post??

I just spent the whole week watching this amazing series, I had previously only watched half an episode when it first came out, but this week something spurned me to watch it again.

I can't begin to describe the euphoria that wells up inside of me when I hear that opening tune. Its such an under appreciated gem, BBC cancelled it after only the first series.

"Lilies details the lives of Iris, May and Ruby Moss, three Catholic sisters living with their widowed father and brother in a terraced house in Liverpool in the early 1920s. The story is set in the years immediately after First World War and, as such, the after effects of that conflict are apparent.
The story depicts a life lived on a knife-edge of poverty, tempered by various kinds of love. All three girls must make their own way in the world. In the course of the series, each sister tastes passion for the first time, and their lives, newly launched, are changed forever."


This series provides it all - laughter, love, tears. I adore this series, if there was one thing I would recommend to anyone on this community or with an interest in costume dramas, this would be it! I can't decide who my favourite sister is, I think I would venture to choose headstrong Ruby, whose cutting witticisms provided many moments of comic relief for me. "Dada" Moss may be hard to understand, but he is the glue that holds this family together, and what a foundation he provides! He is a legend, quite simply.

/Pardon my ramble! I am just so enamored with this series that I want to spread the love! I hope I can tempt some of you to begin watching and let me know what you think. The whole series is uploaded onto youtube.



Even if you don't think it looks like its your 'thing', I endeavor you to give it a chance, one episode even! I was of a similar mind and then I got hooked and haven't looked back since.
