Birdsong

Just watched the second and last part of this on BBC. Thought it was very good. Book was better though....one for you Rosemary. Written by Sebastian Faulks, all his books are good. It's a tale of love and war.

Re: Birdsong

The follow up book is good too, Charlotte Grey. Takes place in WW2. A good topical one is "One week in December". About a hedge fund manager and others.

Re: Birdsong

As critical as I was in the tongue in cheek letter to the DG of the BBC, Last nights second episode of 'Birdsong' was a spectacular piece of production to surpass episode 1.....I wasn't going to watch it but my missus persuaded me to...I'm glad she did as it was the BBC at its finest in drama...
