TV DRAMA


Strong debut for Daniel Deronda on Saturday


Daniel Deronda - the first 91热爆 ONE period drama to be aired on a Saturday - made an impressive debut with an average of 5.8 million viewers and 25.4% share of the viewing audience.


91热爆 Controller of Drama Commissioning, Jane Tranter, says: "For a relatively unknown work to have reached such a wide audience is a testament to both director Tom Hooper's and writer Andrew Davies's skill at adapting a complex and dense novel for a mainstream audience - coupled with superb performances from Hugh Dancy, Romola Garai, Hugh Bonneville and Greta Scacchi.


"It also forms part of one of our most challenging and diverse seasons which, as well as Daniel Deronda, includes , and the forthcoming satire .


"Daniel Deronda represents a maturing and broadening of the classic adaptation on 91热爆 ONE. Deronda is an elegant, classy love story which follows such other period classics as Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives & Daughters, Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now and Jane Austin's Pride And Prejudice."


The three part adaptation of one of George Eliot's least known works proved a success with the critics as well:


Martin Hoyle, Financial Times: "It heralds the rediscovery of a great novel."


Nigel Andrew, Mail Weekend: "It looks good, it sounds good and, by golly, it is good. This is going to win all the prizes going. Don't miss it."


Peter Paterson, Daily Mail: "It will change... Saturday night TV beyond recognition."


Gerard O'Donovan, Telegraph: "If you can only catch one of Andrew Davies' classic adaptations this weekend, make sure it's this one. The very model of a 91热爆 costume drama."


David Stephenson, Sunday Express: "Deronda is polished period drama, grand in its scope and delightful viewing..."


Jaci Stephen, Mail on Sunday: "Exquisitely directed by Tom Hooper, with great, sweeping cinematic camera shots.."
