I saw this four-part drama on television in the 1960s. Even then, Judi Dench was outstanding, and so were all her fellow actors. The play by John Hopkins is superb. It uses a device used many times since: a family remembering the same things but with each person seeing them very differently. And it uses this device in a more complex and engrossing way than I have ever seen. I do hope the BBC will see fit to release this in DVD format before long. Dame Judi is at the height of her career (so far), and many mature viewers remember Maurice Denham, Michael Bryant, and Marjory Mason. Why wait?! This should be a popular sell for the BBC and a great addition to the film libraries of many lovers of drama.
