I almost didn't recognize BC because I've only seen him in Sherlock where he's dark haired, very skinny and seems infinitely taller than here in PE.

I have read the omnibus edition of the four novels by Ford Madox Ford and in them the change of Edwardian class system, of society and life itself is portrayed in a very real way. Previously, I had thought it would be almost impossible to adapt these four novels as a series or movie. While the first three feature Tietjen's life, his dealings and memories of WW1, the last one is more of a intimate play of the secondary characters of the first three novels with Tietjen the main center of their thoughts and pov but not very much with a voice/pov of his own.
It seems the BBC did again with this book adaption. So keep the picspam/reviews coming.
