    Brilliant adaptation.

    A brilliant and heartbreaking performance by all the actors. This adaptatation has compelled me back to Anne's diary I last read at school. I feel Ellie Kendrick has given complete justice to Anne's witty, outspoken and intelligent character.

    Diary of Anne Frank

    Quite enjoyed this BBC TV series. Great acting from Lesley Sharpe and Ellie Rankin with a very easy plotline to follow. Clearly made on a low budget as mainly based in the same environment which can become a little wearing. Provides a great insight into a teenage girl's account of being in hiding and the struggles of living with people in close proximity.
