Jamaica Inn is a British drama television series that was first broadcast on BBC One for three consecutive nights from 21 to 23 April 2014. The three-part series, written by Emma Frost, is an adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's 1936 gothic novel Jamaica Inn set in Cornwall.[1] It was poorly received, becoming a subject of controversy and making national news over its mumbling cast and other sound problems.[2][3]
