Sandy Welch and the BBC trailer for episode 2 of Jane Eyre

Pennyforyourdreams is a constant source of information on the new on going BBC Jane Eyre adaptation. A visit to her blog shows two interesting novelties:



The BBC trail for the second episode (or directly on youtube). It's quite different from the online clip available from the official website so we recommend you watch it carefully :)



Also you can find this interesting (scanned) interview with writer Sandy Welch,

Jane Eyre is a book that has compelled me since I was a teenager. It's an astonishingly heady rush and Jane's every thought mark her out as a very modern heroine. The passionate nature of her relationship with Rochester, coupled with the equallity of intellect that they both crave, remains the romantic ideal of many a 21-st century woman. I worked quite quickly and by the end of the summer the scripts for all four episodes were in. (...)

Hearing an actor say the lines in the way that you imagined is the biggest high for me as a dramatist, and the way that Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson were able to find the complexity in some of their long scenes was amazing. Jane doesn't say much to Rochester in their scenes together, but Ruth says it with great clarity and emotional intensity. Toby was determined to get away with the pantomime image of Rochester as a figure who either broods or strides around bellowing, to find the humanity in him.

In the interview you can find some information about some of the changes introduced by Sandy Welch and about the performance of Pilot, it seems that he will not be nominated to the best canine performance of the year :(.
