Here is a poster for BBC One's upcoming WW1 themed adaption Birdsong. It will premiere in 2012...
Rising stars Eddie Redmayne and Clemence Poesy have been cast to play passionate lovers Stephen and Isabelle brought together by love and torn apart by the First World War, in BBC One's adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' epic love story Birdsong.
The two-part adaptation moves between 1910 and 1916, in turns telling the story of Stephen Wraysford's passionate and erotic, but ultimately doomed, affair with Isabelle Azaire before the war, and the enduring effect it has on him as he fights amidst the blood and gore of the trenches.

Not sold on a love story necessarily but BBC mini-series are almost always worth checking out and I do like Eddie Redmayne quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, I will check it out
ReplyDeleteBBC mini series means it's probably a quality production, however I am not sure I am completely sold on the story.
