D0nalF0ley a big thank you. I have now watched it all. It is a deeply nostalgic film and I enjoyed watching it again very much after a break of many years from the first time that I watched it.
Id like to reflect my thanks here with the other viewers, I didnt ever gete to see the finish of this properly years ago so thankyou for uploading, shame seb never came back
Thank you very much for an heroic effort and sharing this with a mostly grateful audience. Given the difficulties and limitations of YouTube you did this to perfection. Cheers
Dear D0nalF0ley, thank you so much for taking the time and care to upload this magnificent series. I remember first seeing it as a young boy, sneaking out of my room after my bedtime, hiding in a corner of the living room where I could see the TV but my father couldn't see me. Years later he told me he new I was there all along, but never let on as he was proud that I should want to break my bedtime for the sake of watching such beautiful art. Thank you also for bringing back that memory.
Over the past 30 years I have watched this production in it's entirety at least 6 times. It introduced me to Evelyn Waugh and his writings. In 1981 I was a gay, fallen away Catholic of 25 and was embarking on a 6 month tour of Europe from America. When I arrived in Venice, looking out on the Grand Canal and the Piazza San Marco, all I could think of was Charles and Sebastian.
Today I am middle aged, childless, and loveless but I still think of them with pleasure.
When I started watching this, I never thought it would end so sad. I don't generally like unhappy endings, but I rather liked this one. But, I wish they had somehow saved Sebastian - watching him degrade was the saddest part of the series. I loved watching him and Charles interact - their friendship was so beautifully portrayed.
Thank you D0nalF0ley for your sharing such a wonderful miniseries. This took me back 30 years ago as a 15 year old having stumbled upon the series with the first episode. I watched Brideshead Revisited on channel 13 in New Jersey as a part of Maspterpiece Theatre. I loved it then as I love it now. Very sad as it was in the end as happy as it was in the beginning. Mr. Evelyn Waugh's cadence is beautiful, the tale spun was a web of gold that captivated me as a teen and his prose is beauty
Many many thanks! I've seen this several times over the years starting in '81.... I've never fallen out of love with it and it is better each time. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this, it was a superb series, delightful to watch, even though quite sad. But beautifully put together, and with a terrific cast
Wonderful movie, many thanks for posting, being Russian i would never had a chance to see it - I even didn't know it existed.
Great story of the end of old aristocrasy. That class had been leading society making great leaders, artists, leaving so much of beauty - paintings, sculptures, music, gorgeous buildings - everything the best of Mankind.
Russian aristocrasy was killed in 1917 to my regret, but I see that English ended up soon after that.
@lmhitar Yes, they did leave behind many beautiful things but let us not romanticize them. They were able to accumulate as much as they did on the backs of the average person whose labors they undervalued. Evelyn Waugh, the author, was part of the aristocracy & wrote from their myopic perspective.
Evelyn Waugh was most certainly not an aristocrat. His parents were common. Waugh's perspective of the aristocracy was that of one who was "half in, half out", which accounts for his rather balanced portrayal of a wide range of members of the upper classes. While without the birth, he certainly had the money to wander in higher circles of society - even so, there must have been an easy distinction to be made between those who were born into that world and him, a mere visitor.
@ExNihilMetal You're right about Waugh. Looking at it from an American perspective, old money denotes "aristocracy" but in the real sense of the word, it doesn't . Still, as F.S. Fitzgerald said," the rich are very different from you & me" & Waugh wrote from that perspective.
I wish to add my thanks for upload. As long as there is an internet this is saved for the Ages. A great book and I believe this is the greatest series to ever grace the small screen.
THANK YOU TOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING! I HEARTILY APPRECIATE YOU UNDERTAKING THIS OVERWHELMING, ENORMOUS TASK; THAT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU, AND YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY! =D
I'm so grateful I decided to write in capital letters, lol. I cannot believe how quickly I finished this miniseries; all of sudden I logged on, and Poof! I was on episode 10 *tee hee* :P Thanks again; warm fuzzies to you.
@gaiagale during WWII the British received a lot of equipment and supplies from the U.S. (the "Lend-Lease" policy) so I suppose it may not have been unusual for American jeeps, with the steering wheel on the left, to be used by the British armed forces.
Thank you for uploading the entire series . It is because of the generosity of people like you that we get to watch all the episodes of Tv series which we miss on TV.
Now that I have watched both the Brideshead Movie and the TV series , I consider my self and authority on this story. But I am sad as to how Sebastian's life ended !
Thank you for uploading this wonderful series. Up to now I´ve only ever seen it - dubbed - on German television and it definitely loses something in the translation...
Where's Sebastian? I feel as if Charles supplanted and replaced Sebastian within the family, like a cuckoo. Charles entered the family, and Sebastian disappeared.
Usually screen productions of great books pale in the light of the text. This last episode of Brideshead is one of the rare exceptions for me during which the text comes even further to life (Olivier's Hamlet does this for me in places too; I am put to it to think of another example), and most of the production at least mingles well with one's images. A rare, rare film indeed. Thank you for sharing.
I missed the last episode on TV and I am very grateful to be able to watch it in its entirety here. The last episode is certainly very moving. Thanks a lot D0nalF0ley, for posting the whole series. It must require so much dedication to post it in 110 parts! Well, rest assured that your labours are NOT wasted. I salute you.
Thank you sir for posting this. After reading the book, this brings it to life marvelously. I only wish the Waugh's trilogy of Guy Crouchback could have been also made into a series. It is a lighter work, but still a delightful read. Imagine old Jumbo Trotter making his appearance on screen.
A million thanks for this most unexpected 'find'! I last watched this on TV in 1981 and enjoyed it enormously then. Almost 30 years later, I've spent all my waking hours over the last few days riveted to my own 'revisitation' of Bridesghead Revisited. Thankyou so, so, much for this wonderful post! British TV at it's absolute best - fabulous production!
Thanks for uploading this. I'm just a shade too young to have watched it when it was on TV, and I've always been sorry about that because Brideshead Revisited is one of my favourite books - I've read it and re-read it many times. I was overjoyed to find it on Youtube. I've really enjoyed watching this (even though it made me cry :P),
@cantavoidtrite Charles does not say he is without children per se. He merely alludes to the fact that after his marriage to Celia dissolved, he had no further rights to fatherhood-and did not pursue them.
Thank you so very much. I haven't seen the entire thing since 1982(?) and had forgotten so many of the small details. I believe this is what made me fall in love with all things British.
Thanks you so much for taking enoumous of yours and sharing this with us.This is another brilliant "recherche du temps perdu", and this jouney meant a lot to me.
Many thanks.If the book is a rememberance of times past,then the series itself also recalls a bygone era when British independent television producers did not have to go slumming to attain a big international success.Sadly, this was pretty much the last of it's kind.
Thank you for uploading and sharing this with us. What a delightful, wistful memorial to a bygone day, when the old life of manorial pleasance gave way to the decadent and despairing modernity. Through it all, the continuum of life, of prayerful hopes.
@Shufei Manorial pieasance?I think you have forgotten the decadence and despair of the Marchmain family?Perhaps Aloysius has wrapped you in his charm and blinded you to this?I grant that "Brideshead" is a delight, but not in the fashion you clothe it with.Of course we all get the psycho-sexual underpinning of the "Brideshead",an allusion to Charles` losing his personal and societal virginity. So a wistful memorial,perhaps.Prayerful hopes are not in evidence,but life does go on.
as a young girl lived very close to castle howard visited many times with my sister lucy after i first watched brideshead, thank you for all those memories live in canada now, but long for home
Thank you so much for taking so much trouble posting this series up, you've done such a wonderful job! I enjoyed watching the whole thing tremendously! Thank you!
I saw it when it was first on US television - years ago... Read it as a teen (and wanted to be Cordelia); re-read it as an adult, and read it again last summer - almost 20 years later - finally understanding it. It was marvellous to watch the series again. I want to start over from the beginning and savor it slowly, all over again. Thank you, DOnalFOLey, for a great upload.
Wonderful! Thanks so much.
