To Serve Them All My Days

Set in an English Public School, in the period 1917 - 1940. It tells the story of a Welsh miner's son, David Powlett-Jones, who, as a shell shocked officer, comes to the school as a teacher.

I watched this with my children when it was broadcast on Masterpiece Theatre years ago. My children were 10 and 13
and never forgot the series. I recently rented it from netflix and it was just as excellent as I first remembered it. I've read most of Delderfield's books and this is one of the best.

A wonderful series.

I just saw this series and was amazed. The acting and writing was great and the characters seemed real. I liked Howarth for his dry take on life and appreciated that the writers took half an episode to show a character dealing with the death of a spouse. My mother doesn't like shows shot on video because of the visual quality. That means that she misses greatness like To Serve Them All My Days, Flambards, and I, Claudius.

Look ahead to a life worth living,
Full of hope, full of faith, full of cheer,
To a life that is made for giving
Without stint, without shame, without fear.
Look ahead to the One who leads us,
To the Lord who guides our ways.
We shall follow, follow, follow,
We shall follow Him all our days.

It's a cookbook!
