Trivia
It was originally intended for Sir Michael Palin (William Makepeace Thackeray) to appear in just one episode, but it was quickly decided to feature him in all seven episodes and he completed shooting all his scenes in just one day. Palin had previously chosen Vanity Fair as his favorite book, when he appeared on Radio Four's Desert Island Discs.

It's been great seeing this series doing something very different, how refreshing!! Claudia Jessie is a really good Amelia, and Olivia Cooke is equally good as Becky!

How refreshing to see how Gwyneth Hughes has revitalized the series, a perfect classic to adapt for ITV - even though people think BBC are better at this sort of thing! Clearly not here

The music is original! Enticing and fits with the originality of this version!
