| I first saw this series when it was broadcast on PBS in 1980 and although I missed the first two installments I was emotionally moved by its impact. Since then, having read both Vera Brittain's "Testament of Youth" and her diary of the same period, "Chronicle of Youth," I was eager to again see how this was adapted for television.
Because neither a memoir nor a diary, in contrast to a work of fiction, necessarily conveys the nature of the personalities of different individuals, I was ... Read More: |

| This writer's work has been "bowdlerised", that is, expurgated, andheterosexualised as to be acceptable for mainstream cinematic viewing. The scriptwriter, producer and director (all women, incidently - for shame) are directly responsible for the way that Ms Trollope's novel about self-discovery, via an unsuccessful marriage and cathartic love affair, has been transformed into a cautionary tale about the kind of woman your mother warned you about. Upon discovery of the affair in the film, Alice (our ... Read More: |
