Brideshead Revisited

We both remember bits of Brideshead when it was on TV in the early 1980s but had never viewed it all.    Last time we were in the UK we got the whole series in DVD boxed set for £3.00 (British Heart Foundation of course).     

The other day/night we were a bit restless so we put the kettle on, and watched the whole lot - fab!!     It's the sort of thing you can do quite snuggly in a two berth caravan when its raining and there is no room to swing the proverbial cat!!

My fav quote: “Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all.”    Oh yes.


The only slight hitch was horror of horrors at the end of disc 10 we realised there must be another episode but the boxes clearly contained only 10!!    Looked on You-Tube and there it was (apparently this episode 11 was made later), so we were able to watch it after all. Phew.

So if anyone has twelve hours to spare, a huge tea pot and wants to borrow the set.....
