another to pass the time on the long journey. The
powerful characterisation of each adaptation, from
the earthy wife of Bath to the gentlemanly knight,
brings Chaucer's prose alive for the viewer and

Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales

Advantages: First rate entertainment
Disadvantages: Not a single one!

Canterbury really come to life, especially through the medium of this DVD. The characters are in turns venal, crass, rude, diplomatic, churlish, bombastic, chivalrous, angry and friendly as they each tell their own tales on the long trek that made up the pilgrimage. And they are all vividly and sharply drawn. From life, or so it seems. We both seemed to recognise the characters in people that we know or knew at one time or another. The vocal talents are provided by the crème de la crème of British acting of stage, cinema screen and television. Sean Bean, Richard Griffiths, Robert Lindsay, Tim McInnery, Bill Nighy, Bob Peck, Liz Smith and Imelda Staunton all feature on this superlative DVD. The tales shown on the DVD are: The Squire's tale, the Cannon's Servant's tale, the Miller's tale, The Reeve's tale, The Nun's Priest's tale ...
