Nixie: yes, it's always difficult when you read a book and cast the part, then the 'wrong' actor plays it in the film! Even so, I thought PF was rather charming in Tess, although I probably saw it around the same time you did and haven't watched it since.

If you liked the book, pick up PF's reading of Tess of the D'Urbervilles - it's very good. Makes even Hardy pallatable! It's fairly easy to get hold of cheaply on Ebay, etc. but if you don't have any luck and want to borrow mine, PM me.
