Wonderful documentary! I remember watching Brideshead with my mom in 1981 and being unable to tear myself away. I still enjoy it every time I see it.
If you've never read the book, I highly recommend it; Waugh's writing is so evocative.

@grai - my word, I could not agree with you more. Utterly pedestrian, a cheap and lazy device and the absolute antithesis of B.R.'s sophistication and beautiful use of language. If the gimmick had to be employed at all, then at the very most it should have been a select handful of times - however I think there must have been 10-15 uses in this portion of the doco alone! 'Banal' is right on the money.

Jenni Murray, whoever she is, seems oh so full of herself ... would hate to be stuck next to her at a dinner party

Video recorders were around in the United States in 1981but not that many people had one yet.

I found the constant cutting in of dialogue from the film to respond to the things being said in the documentary very banal
it went on far too long
-
Romantic plugging of the series disguised as a documentary but what about the actual shafting?
-
Oh, that's just cruel!

Jenni Murray is quite wrong. Video recorders were available in 1981, and I taped the series at the time and still have the cassettes today.

@sandyh59 We feverishly bought a VCR as soon as we could just so I could tape this marvelous program when it re-aired shortly after. Paid a fortune for it (we didn't a lot of money but the JVC did last forever, thankfully) - it was certainly worth every penny. This still remains one of my favorite programs ever. And when I finally got to visit the U.K., Castle Howard was on the top of my list of must-see's. It was lovely to be there. Pinching myself still.
