TV SERIES ARRIVES TO BRITBOX

Channel 4 has already aired this one over in Britain and I actually finished watching it earlier this week and can tell you that it is probably the best period set series of the year so far, but I wanted to inform you today that it will start streaming for the audiences in USA and Canada on BritBox as of June 24th and you do not want to miss it. With Brenda Blethyn as the lead it is the reboot of A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE  based on Barbara Taylor Bradford's novel with Jessica Reynolds playing the younger version. You can check out the gorgeous and dynamic trailer below and tell us what you think, will you tune in?

Emmett J Scanlan stars as Adam Fairley, Lydia Leonard as Olivia Wainwright, Leanne Best as Adele Fairley, Ewan Horrocks as Edwin Fairley, Harry Cadby as Gerald Fairley, Will Mellor as Jack Harte, Lenny Rush as Frank Harte, Niall Wright as Mac, Robert Wilfort as Murgatroyd, Toby Regbo as Jim Fairley, Hiftu Quasem as Priya Chandra, Sophie Bould as Elizabeth Harte and Georgina Sadler as Polly.

  1. Wow, after watching the trailer and reading your review, I really want to see it. I got quite a surprise when I saw the full-length photograph of Emma Harte. My mother had an outfit that looked almost exactly the same in her wardrobe, and for a moment it really made my heart skip a beat. Anyway, I hope I can find a way to watch it over here.
    A big hug and my very best wishes.

    1. I really liked it, it was very engaging, I haven't enjoyed a series as much as I did this one in a long time. The cast is lovely too. It looks like Pierre Cardin female suit costume to me, he used to use that fabric. I think my own mother had it as well but in beige LOL

    1. About 95% of it is set at the beginning of the century and the rest in the 70s when she is old and success and remembers the youth.
