Summary: BRIDESHEAD REVISITED: so good you'll revisit this set over and over and over
Comment: This 11-episode mini series is a must as the core portion of any British drama DVD collection. It shines on a level with "The Grand", "Monarch of the Glen", and "The Pallisers." The only drawback is that "Brideshead Revisited" lasts ONLY about 11 hours.

A WWII soldier finds his unit setting camp at an old English home known as Brideshead Castle. Yes, he has been there before. The memories of those days beginning in 1922 return with delightful results to the viewer. His recollection takes a trip through the entire Marchmain family who lived at Brideshead. Also endearing are many friends of the family. Captain Charles Ryder remembers his own involvement with every member of the group. The costumes are authentic and the scenery is even more thrilling. It's "bloody-fine" drama with many laughs woven throughout.

This 25th anniversary edition offers extras that are a must to view prior to beginning the series. It is a great way to get the overview needed of the actors, characters, story, and English history of the period. The length makes this set an economical value of top quality film viewing straight from the Evelyn Waugh novel.

IT WAS QUITE DISAPOINTING!

Summary: ALTERNATIVE EVELYN WAUGH
Comment: I didn't see that TV show and I don't find any interest in the principle
of the thing. As british TV shows are usually first released as DVDs in
America, I wish for the release of SCOOP, a London Weekend Television production (the week end branch of ITV)of 1986, a VIDEO COLLECTION VHS in 1990. This 120 minutes teleplay was directed by Gavin Millar, scripted by Wlliam Boyd, played by Denholm Elliott, Michael Hordern, Michael Maloney, Herbert Lom and Donald Pleasence. Does that make your mouth water?
It was very funny too, quite worthy of the novel.

Summary: Brideshead Revisited.
Comment: Brideshead Revisited on PBS was the initial drama that introduced Jeremy Irons to the USA. What a wonderful, touching story. Excellent acting and the screenplay was superior. I will watch it over and over again. Thank you PBS and Granada for taking such loving care in presenting this masterpiece.

"Extraordinary" —The New York Times

A special silver anniversary edition of the British classic called one of the best series in TV history.

Winner of 17 international awards and starring Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews, Diana Quick, Sir John Gielgud, Claire Bloom, and Sir Laurence Olivier in an Emmy®-winning role. Bonus features on this edition include the 50-min. featurette Revisiting Brideshead, produced by British television to celebrate the anniversary and featuring retrospective interviews with Irons, Andrews, Quick, director Charles Sturridge, and many more. Also includes a 20-page program guide, production notes, and photo gallery.
