This series is so exquisite! This episode impressed me more than anything because it's such a hard thing to convey, Linda's breathless naivety and the magnetic attraction to this rather louche older man. I wasn't sure how to picture it, when I read the book. And yet here it is: their mutual attraction is visible, almost tangible, in this lovely chapter of the story.
Such a flashback for me. I saw this adaptation of Mitford’s novels when I was 21 years old. It was my entree to all of Nancy Mitford’s writings. Of all th e versions, the 1980 adaptation is the most faithful and the most sad.
5:48 No, if a person is a refugee then it means you need to get them to a place where they'll be able to settle down and rebuild their lives without being pulled into a war. If they want to go and fight in a war then let them do so if that's what they want and what they choose, but if a person's a refugee then I'd have thought the best thing for them is to get them as far away from the war as possible. This is just the two bits of a granddaughter of a refugee from WW2 though - war wasn't as terrible for him as it was for thousands of others, but he had his share of hardships throughout the war years.
maybe in France or in Spain, warm weather doesn't normally last that long in England. but so long as it endures what does it matter which climate it's in
Some of the action and dialogue in this episode does not appear in the novel. Yes, the aristocrats depicted are shallow, emotionally bankrupt and self-obsessed - just like people today.

All loosely based on the fascinating life of the Mitford sisters. Thanks for uploading this old classic Thames Tv period beauty.
I'll never get tired of this series.
Me neither.

I’m glad Fabrice didn’t always wear his Sam Browne belt the wrong way around! Continuity? But thanks all the same.
thank you for this :)
lol! " It' s good Linda is in Paris doing her war work giving comfort to the French troops..."

Love in a fairly warm climate, surely ?

The books and the original series were much better.

Cedric is terribly acted-- embarrassing.
Really doesnt make me wanna read the books. And what a dull episode. And what dull, empty, boooring people.

Not sure how old you are, but keep trying it again every 10 years or so. It's wonderful.
Especially that they hadn't even existed. 😂
