Three visions of glory: aristocracy, plundered gold and gridiron fame.
Brideshead Revisited (1981 Miniseries)
By Ben Marsh
Two-and-a-half decades before the sumptuous, multi-chaptered miniseries dramas of the Golden Age of television, Derek Granger wrote and produced the pitch-perfect Brideshead Revisited TV miniseries for the BBC. Subtly acted by an all-star cast, and cleverly shot on a BBC budget, this series immerses you in Waugh’s masterpiece. Stellar performances from Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud only enrich the star performances of Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews.
