The BBC's adaption is as close to perfect as can be. The casting is wonderful and the actors all do admirably well. It's been a few years since I've read the books but so far I feel it's captured the book's spirit perfectly. It's one of the best things I've seen on TV in the last year or two.

Although the show falls a little flat because of the plot jumping around, I think that if you have read the books before, you will find that this is surprisingly accurate.
