This has been being repeated on one of the BBC channels at the moment.
I have the dvd but watched some of it live the other day.
Watching it made me feel old. I would have been 26 when I saw this first on tv,all my family loved it.
I was surprised to see some of the reviews being so negative about this.
Of course if you expect an action packed story you will be disappointed.
I know a lot more about World War 2 now than I did in 1987 but that fact makes no difference to the viewers enjoyment of the series.
Giving no spoilers the series involves the experiences of a group of people in Eastern Europe in the early part of World War 2.
It seems crazy to me that some one on here complains that it was not filmed in the actual locations in the original book,talk about nit picking.
This drama does not require much prior knowledge of the historical period.
This series is a classic of is kind and should be watched by history fans and fans of good acting.
