    Jonathan Miller's 19...( read more)66 BBC production of 'Alice In Wonderland' has to be one of the most original adaptations of Lewis Carroll's novel (the other worthy contender being Jan Svankmajer's 'Alice').

    Miller's Wonderland is a beautiful, haunting, dreamland filled with a Victorian cast. Due to Miller's choice to dress his characters in Victorian attire rather then the usual animal costumes he managed to persuade a wealth of English talent to take part. The cast is one of the most appealing thing's about Miller's Wonderland and we are treated to some amazing performances from the likes of Peter Sellers as the King of Hearts, Peter Cook as the Mad Hatter, Wilfred Bramble as the White Rabbit and also appearances by Michael Redgrave and John Gielgud. Alice herself is played by the wonderful Anne-Marie Mallick. She is certainly not your convential Alice, instead she is rather detached and disinterested and hardly ever seems to look directly at the other characters. The Mad Hatter's tea party is a glorious example, Alice is not amused by Peter Cook's riddles which don't make sense and sits there simply bored by it all whilst the camera shows us drowsy close-ups with the brilliant Ravi Shankar soundtrack playing in the background.

    Miller's Wonderland is a dreamlike, grown up and very 60s feeling adaption of the the classic story and gets my vote for being the best version out there.
