Initially I loved this for its cosy nostalgia to while away a Sunday evening. But then I read the books........ Which are wonderful!
So why so many changes to the characters and story lines? Sidney did not have an intimate relationship with the irritating Amanda, he actually married the delightful Hildegard! In the books he is much less irresponsible and is tortured by his desire to be a good clergyman but unable to resist the temptation of solving the mysteries. There are many many more differences, and I would encourage anyone to read the originals. The TV series could have been so very much better!
