Jamaica Inn brings Daphne Du Maurier's classic and much-loved novel to life in a bold new three-part drama for BBC1, adapted by Emma Frost ( The White Queen, Shameless, Consuming Passion) and directed by BAFTA award winning Philippa Lowthorpe (Call the Midwife, Five Daughters ). Set in 1820 against the foreboding backdrop of windswept Cornish moors, this highly charged, gothic romance follows our heroine Mary as she becomes entangled in a dangerous criminal world ridden with smuggling and murder, testing her resolve and morality to the very core.

A three-hour ticket to the Jamaica Inn, located in the middle of the moors on the plains far in the east of England. Straight from the beginning I got floored by the location, because even though I like pubs, I would be afraid to set my foot in this one. And even if I got drunk on some local ale in there, I cannot imagine being able to find my way home in that inhospitable countryside. I would sooner die behind the first bush right outside the pub, especially considering what was happening there. I have to say at the beginning I was a bit bewildered by the pub, similar to Mary herself. The second episode calmed things up a bit and the third one provided an interesting climax.
