"Guppy will wait"

Erin and I started watching this six part Masterpiece Theatre BLEAK HOUSE miniseries tonight. If you didn't, I recommend you find out when it's being replayed, catch up, and join us for episode two next Sunday night. The film style is a little too flashy for my taste, but besides that, I'm enjoying it very much. Especially since within the first five minutes I saw a familiar face; the girl who played Lyra in the National Theatre's production of HIS DARK MATERIALS. I sensed Erin's doubt of my declaration, so I quickly looked up BLEAK HOUSE on IMDB. Sure enough, Anna Maxwell Martin plays Esther Summerson (never question me on these very important matters).
I also saw on her bio that she was in NORTH AND SOUTH, and mini-series my Mom was recently telling me about. I'll look forward to seeing her in that as well.
As we watched the movie tonight, I kept my computer on pbs.org and looked at each actor's bio as they were introduced. It was very informative and enjoyable. I provided a link above, if you would like to check it out.
So far, I love Esther Summerson (you kind of have to) and Guppy. I joked with Erin that Guppy should have told Esther he "was willin' " but the he said "Guppy will wait" which was just as good.
Happy Dickens-ing!
