I agree with the other comments here. This would probably have to be the best adaptation of a book ever to be done to screen. And it is better than the 1998 series. The characters especially are very true to the book, especially Becky, Osborne, Rawdon and Lord Steyne. They even looked like their descriptions in the book e.g. Becky was small and sandy-haired, George Osborne proud and large-whiskered. By the end of the series I found it very hard to decide whether Becky was "innocent" or "guilty", which was the exact way she was portrayed in the novel. This series caught the colour, richness and comedy of the book, and captured Thackeray's disdain of most of the characters. As said in another comment, if you don't feel like ploughing through the book, watch this series, that is if you can find a copy of it........
