Anthony Andrew and Jeremy Irons? I've never seen this before but I love it already :) btw what's up with the teddy bear?

[niffler09]

The teddy bear belongs to Sebastian (Anthony Andrew's character) and he takes it with him to Oxford when he goes there to study. I assume it's supposed to emphasise Sebastian's eccentricity, maybe also childishness. It's called Aloysius btw.

Everything about it is beauty Rain in Venice is breathtaking..I do like your comment about European heritage ozirion.I will write it down and ponder my sadness my grace my sensitivity and refinement. thankyou

To say BR is about class is like saying Citizen Kane is about a sled. You missed the whole meaning of it.

Will television ever produce something as good as Brideshead Revisited again ? Will any new show have this kind of music today ?

Thanks for posting this! Brideshead Revisited is simply a masterpiece. I watched it when I was at University myself when it first came out. As Antony Blanche would say, "I-it was a-absolu-tely d-delicious! ;-)
