   “Thus far and no further!”
   …

   “We’ve kept those other bastards out!”

   Ethics that are sadly lacking today.

     It’s an elegy for an age past Carol. A lament for a lost culture and black, black comedy. As well as being beautifully acted.
     I feel the same way you do about royalty, but this has little to do with that.

   Absolutely superb
   I am looking forward to seeing some more of him, (Jim Broadbent), in the BBC drama “Exile” where he plays an Alzheimer’s sufferer.
   Showing in NZ next month I think.

     I’ll make a note of it, MvL. Thanks.
     I liked this clip so much I downloaded it to play it again.

   The Edwardian aristocracy sure knew how to live it up.

   Who wouldn’t be up for a hunt in the morning with Purdey SBS and an afternoon garden party?

   Too bad they were all killed in WWI.

         Oh yes!
         I watched Brideshead Revisited again recently, and was struck again by how much women have changed.
