How lovely to have someone to share my outrage with! I felt like throwing something at the TV! How could they make the saintly Rhun into a conman?How dare they? I can only surmise they thought modern viewers didn't believe in miracles, but for Goodness sake, the story is about an age that did!
And all that gory stuff about boiling bones too!What was that for!
I actually only live about 40 miles from Holywell where St Winifred's well is.(I can't recall visiting the well,alas) but she is almost a local girl who deserves respect.
Then they slaughtered the redemtion of Luc and turned him into a madman,ugh!
Your Cadfael is nearer to mine too.Derek Jacobi is too much the smooth, cultured modern actor.
I agree it made sense to keep Oswin.
I don't think they filled "Brother Cadfael's Penance" which also had Oliver in it.
