I watched this on live TV back in the 1970s - remember those days? Yes we had to stay in to watch it each week.
It has taken root in my memories for many reasons.
The acting was compelling. All the main characters were exceptional. History was brought vividly to life and my passion for The Plantagenets began.
I can hardly believe that 4+ decades later I'm still searching for it!! Come on BBC - how can we get to see it.
Many of the actors became my favourites! I remember writing a fan letter to the magnificent Michael Byrne and receiving a delightful message and signed photograph in the post. I still watch him wherever I see him and still get just as swept up in his performances as when I was that 20-year old.
Loved him through all his incarnations.
Please, someone tell me how we can watch this again?
