The book is just a very thin thing, it had to be embellished to make the Maggie Smith film if the same name. This miniseries is 7 hours and greatly puffed up to fill the time. The production values are old BBC. Ok but really pale to today's standards. Geraldine McEwan unfortunately can not come close to Maggie Smiths outstanding performance of the role. I felt disappointed all around. If you want to see this see The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, see the Oscar winner, not this.
