I was actually looking for the 1927 film adaptation starring H.B.Warner when I ran into this version. And it raised to my expectations, for it is very faithful to the book, which is a point I always insist that movies based on literary works should fulfill.
A superb performance by Richard Pasco is actually what attracts you to this version. He very well captured the picture I had for Captain Sorrell in mind, while reading the book, from his middle-age years to his senility, and how he suffered both physically and emotionally to provide for his son, after his wife deserted them, trying to keep his dignity, self respect and his English gentleman manners in the process. I'm sure if this was a movie instead of a TV series, Pasco would have earned an Oscar nomination. The rest of the cast gave so good performances that you won't feel disappointed with any of them.
A very good adaptation.. you won't regret watching it. (9/10)
