    • Trivia
      It was originally intended for Sir Michael Palin (William Makepeace Thackeray) to appear in just one episode, but it was quickly decided to feature him in all seven episodes and he completed shooting all his scenes in just one day. Palin had previously chosen Vanity Fair as his favorite book, when he appeared on Radio Four's Desert Island Discs.

    beautiful visuals and acting
    I have watched episode 1 & 2 on catch up and I LOVE it so far, I can only imagine it to get better, so waiting patiently for next episode

    I have never seen the previous versions, nor would I want to, but I have read the book, but I appreciate, being a person who is open to diversity and to new and fresh interpretation.

    The characters in the series are well done, and am so far thoroughly caught up in their lives.

    I most definitely recommend it and also urge people to give it a chance!
