Wonderful Television - Brideshead Revisited: Series review by CP Customer
It is amazing to think that ITV could have the nerve to produce this excellent piece of what only could be described as art.
They would not be able to do it now, at least not at such a leisurely pace and with time taken to develop character.
Enjoy.
