It's a Hardback Life

I'm both excited and nervous, as JS&MN is one of my favorite books of all time. I have faith in BBC adaptations, but I wonder how much film can do with such unusual source material (part of the fun of the book was the copious footnotes). The reviews so far, like this one, are good. The look of the Man with the Thistledown Hair gives me pause- it looks too "costumey," but I'm going to try my best to reserve judgement until I've actually watched it. Anyone else plan on tuning in?
