It has love, romance and passion, but usually repressed, smouldering, seething and covered in clothes. Tom Jones and Moll Flanders were a little risky, but Jane Austen is perfect. I could easily sit and watch with my mother and daughter, but I can't because it bores them to death. On goes the costume drama and off go my mother and daughter to their own televisions. We are condemned to watch telly alone.
Weekends can be a lonely time.
