Part 1. I researched this Charleston craze but actually there were only two songs played over and over again one of which was called The Charleston. Each generation searches for catching rhythms to dance on and always the parents hate it which guarantees the success of the new rhythm. Wonderful life.
Thank you. I love Nancy Mitford and have longed to see this series again since I first saw it when I was quite a young girl. It made my day finding this on RUclips.
What I loved about those days was the way parents were allowed to be actual parents and call their children out unapologetically for immaturity, etc. Firm discipline delivered with love was a very reassuring thing for the young....
"Did you put in enough gas?" "Never mind that." And the the conversation betweetwo young women in a car continues about clothes, présentation and men. I found this to be a perfectly accurate rendition of how a woman's priorities are.
Delightful series,beautifully executed but I still think Alan Bates was more convincing in the role .Could you imagine Richard Aldridge thrashing eight Germans to death with his trenching tool ? Alan Bates? Oh,yes.
Of course they mixed up the two novels. Mitford was not a great writer and by rearranging events it made the story more coherent. I thought it was, on the whole, well done.
Some of the same story is told in each book you have to have a good memory or chart the characters. nancy not very attractive and the other Mitfords were beauties except Jessica was funny-looking. Brother Tom whom they adored almost incestuously was killed in WWII There was no money so Nancy began writing. She had friends in publishing, including Evelyn Waugh, so she got a shot and her books were all Best-Sellers.
Dorothy Willis This is a terrible production, choppy and boring and dull. Nancy Mitford is a great writer. This series does no justice to The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate.
@@irenemax3574 If that's your opinion, don't watch it. And if you think Nancy Mitford is a great writer -- well, you are entitled to your opinion. Obviously her books speak to you in a special way. No harm done.
It may be you are the wrong generation for this. This seems very real to me, especially in this period. Wealthy old families had tons of old males who resembled Matthew. All very real. And the animal mad girls were exactly the same in my youth. Sadly, so long ago, now.
Another great series, filled with spoiled and selfish people. Why am I addicted?????? LOL
I'm so glad you like to share. Nice to see some earlier work of some favourite players such as Dame Judi Dench.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the eight episodes. Ah, the British.

Anything Mitford is my obsession.
There were multiple successful authors in the family.
I love Matthew,he is so kind-crazy but kind
Gruff exterior, but warm heart.
@@melissakrauss1266 yes,so true I love him
« Come back at ONCE,Fort William »🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's fun to see a very young Anthony Head.
thankyou
I thought I heard the song called, "Tiptoe through the tulips". I did not know that song was so old. I though Tiny Tim, wrote it.
1929 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷😆🌷🌷🌷🌷
The song first came out in 1929
Terribly old. Terribly bright.
Tiptoe through the Tulips
wasn't written by Tiny Tim.
He only Recorded it, in the late 60's.
The song was written by Burke & Dubin ,in 1929
When parents were parents and children werent coddled..
😂 parents were Old 😮
Veni, vidique audivi media cum gaudio.

A stuffy world long gone, thank goodness...
what am I watching
Hilarious dog panting.
The director probably slapped his forehead in chagrin.

O,

Nancy was great writer andeach book was a sensation on its own including "Highland Fling"

Hunting hares ? That's totally despicable.
Michael Igoe utterly sickmaking
no its not....they are probably tasty...similar to rabbit
They have mixed up the two novels have t they terrible acting by most but still rather interesting
I certainly am. If no idea how that acting ever got approval..absolutely appalling
I have to watch it to make an opinion don't I ? Pretty obvious..

Yes, but fascists
Not Jessica. Red Jessie :) but whatever, she wrote some modern classics such as The American Way of Death, a witty exhumation of the funeral racket.
