Contrary to an earlier review the TV series only takes us up to 1941 and the end of volume two "Marking Time". There were still two volumes of the original quartet, plus the later fifth volume. We miss Rupert returning from the war and finding it difficult to explain why he didn't come back earlier, Archie Lestrange who brought news of Rupert's survival to home place eventually marries Clary much later in the storyline. Polly marries an aristocrat and has a happy life, Laura and Zoe have affairs, the two dotty great aunts move to home place, Teddy goes to America marrying and divorcing along the way, the business going bust, Edward ditching Villy and marrying Diana, and so much more. I suspect that a second series had been planned but never filmed. Such a shame.
