Um... it's a bit...
...shit. The BBC should've said in advance that it was a pure fantasy. |

No wonder he ended up killing himself with drink and drugs. He is a gobshite though. I'd slap him into next week the good for nothing lay about.

I suppose everyone has their own ideas about what the Brontës were like but this isn't how I picture them at all.

This is very heavy going, I usually put the iPad down for dramas but this isn't keeping my attention at all. I'll stick with it but will re-watch another time.

Has anyone read Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of Charlotte? I thought it was very good.

Same here. I've never pictured them as being angry all of the time.

Charlotte is the source for much of what we know about them but unfortunately she felt the need to embroider and censor.
Apparently they had slight Irish accents. |

Me neither. I wonder if there's any real evidence of what they were really like.

It's very odd. Emily is nothing at all as I imagine her. The whole dynamic between them all just seems wrong.
The siblings don't look Victorian either. Only Jonathan Pryce's depiction of Patrick looks and acts Victorian. |

Does the title "To Walk Invisible" refer directly to Branwell, so this is his story..... He was eclipsed by his sisters but may have had as much talent.....

No. I think it refers to their pen names: Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.

They were all born in Yorkshire so wouldn't have Irish accents. Only their father came from NI, their mother from Cornwall. You have the accent of the place you grow up in, not that of a parent....

A friend of Charlotte's said she spoke with a noticeable Irish accent.

That would be ridiculous. As they were born and raised in Bradford. Charlotte making up fanciful stuff perhaps?
