This brilliant costume drama by Trollope is being repeated from Monday on BBC in the afternoons. Its very similar to The Forsyte Saga- I loved this when it was first shown and it has been repeated before but I missed it. BBC costume drama in its heyday. If only they would show Barchester Chronicles - Alan Rickman at his finest as Mr. Slope.

I could not agree MORE!!
His Obadiah Slope set a new benchmark didn't it?

I love this series. I have all the books and the box set, which I have just finished viewing.

It was meant to be the next big tv success after The Forsyte Saga, but I think there was a lot of TV strikes at the time so the series never really took off because so many showings had to be rescheduled because of the problems. I certainly did hang in then, which is why I ended up eventually with the books and box set.
