Was looking forward to seeing this but like others it was turned off after 20 mins. Wife has lived in west country all her life and I have been here over 30 years and neither of us could understand it. What a let down.
We watched it for 30 mins but switched over because we couldn't follow what was going on as the sound was so bad. What a waste of money and acting ability. Whoever told them to mumble in a strange Cornish accent should be sacked. It was very slow too, as was the book, but the photography was excellent.
I gave it 15 minutes with sub titles and then gave up.
DTC, I Googgle Earthed Jamaica Inn and there is a blooming great dual carriageway running passed it now. I guess they're had to find more suitable "windswept" locations.
The real Jamaica Inn was featured on a programme a couple of weeks ago (might have been Escape to the Country or one of those property programmes) the landlord was interviewed and it looked a nice place.
Bit of a Japanese tourist trap now and the coach loads swing through, the A30 being so close by......there's still some windswept moor left behind and they could always use the West Penwith area as well (St Just to St Ives).
