Daniel Deronda is a British television serial drama adapted by Andrew Davies from the George Eliot novel of the same name. The serial was directed by Tom Hooper, produced by Louis Marks, and was first broadcast in three parts on BBC One from 23 November to 7 December 2002. The serial starred Hugh Dancy as Daniel Deronda, Romola Garai as Gwendolen Harleth, Hugh Bonneville as Henleigh Grandcourt, and Jodhi May as Mirah Lapidoth. Co-production funding came from WGBH Boston.
Louis Marks originally wanted to make a film adaptation of the novel but abandoned the project after a lengthy and fruitless casting process. The drama took a further five years to make it to television screens. Filming ran for 11 weeks from May to August on locations in England, Scotland and Malta. The serial was Marks' final television production before his death in 2010.

"I love British classic Dramas. I liked this one too. I saw this before I saw Hugh Bonneville in any thing else. I kinda didn't like Hugh Bonneville because of his character in this. It Took Paddington and Downton Abbey for me to really like Hugh Bonneville."

"Two stars because the ending was okay. But the first three episodes were painful to get through. There are two stories to follow and I would have rather avoided both. There's Gwendolen's, a spoiled brat who can't stop talking about herself except for during the super drawn out scenes where we get to see her husband touch her in increasingly gross and creepy ways, and there's Daniel's, a man with the emotional range of a toaster as he decides what to do with his life and his sudden fascination with Jewish people. Would not recommend this one!"

"I watched this for Hugh Dancy. I'm gay but I think he's so pretty. "
