I am researching & writing on Hardy now and there are many good TV adaptations of The Mayor of Casterbridge but watch the 2003 one with Ciarán Hinds with Jean Marsh as the Furmity Woman. She is so sinister & unsettling you won’t be able to forget her. The mythic incarnation of pastoral evil. RIP.

Jean Marsh has died at the age of 90. Brian Shuel's 1961 photograph of the actor hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery and is one of the most striking images in the collection
