Anybody watching Les Miserables? Really got into this in a big way. Loved the musical but this adaptation from Andrew Davies is warts and all and is brilliant. Dominic West is superb. Olivier Coleman as Madame Thenadier is excellent. I keep wanting to fit the songs in certain places like "Master of the House." I did wince last week at the dentist pulling Fantine's teeth out.  |

I'm watching it Holey and loving it.
Not being a musical lover I have never watched the stage show or the film but do know the story.
The cast are brilliant and that opening scene at Waterloo was so well done.

The last episode of Les Miserables was superb. A stunning piece of television. Having seen the musical in the West End countless times it was great to see Andrew Davies adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel. A stella cast, Dominic West was excellent.
Anybody not watched this epic, my advise catch uo with this on iplayer. You won't be disappointed.

An excellent production and well worth the Licence Fee.
Dominic West was amazing in the role of Jean Valjean.
I've loved him since watching The Wire some years ago and it's amazing that he originally made his name in the US.
He was great as Fred West too in An Appropriate Adult.
