When Oxford under-graduate Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) meets the charismatic Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews) it is the beginning of a devoted friendship, until Sebastian sinks deep into alcoholism and distances himself from those he loves.

It is amazing to think that ITV could have the nerve to produce this excellent piece of what only could be described as art.

They would not be able to do it now, at least not at such a leisurely pace and with time taken to develop character.

Enjoy.
