Evelyn Waugh's 'Brideshead Revisited' is a moving and tragic story, which chronicles the tempestuous journey of Charles Ryder (Jeremy Irons) through the tangled and stormy world of the aristocratic Marchmain family.

It is an epic tale of his love - for his closest friend Sebastian Flyte (Anthony Andrews), for Sebastian's sister Julia Flyte (Diana Quick) and for an entire way of life.

This classic, visually stunning TV drama directed by Charles Sturridge and Michael Lindsay-Hogg, was adapted for the screen by John Mortimer ('Rumpole of the Bailey') and is here presented in its entirity.

'Brideshead Revisited' collected together the absolute cream of British acting talent at the time, including Lord Laurence Olivier in his Emmy Award-winning role as the exiled Lord Marchmain, Claire Bloom as Lady Marchmain, and Sir John Gielgud as Charles's estranged father.

'Brideshead Revisited' won two Golden Globe Awards, seven BAFTAs and an Emmy for Lord Olivier.
