Birdsong TV miniseries
Just noticed this on iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...ong_Episode_1/
I think Birdsong ranks as my No 1 book, and its nice to see it made into a miniseries, although like most screen adaptations it isn't entirely faithful to what's written. I would recommend reading the book before watching the miniseries, although its probably best not to read it halfway through a 4 month trip when you're feeling homesick and missing civilisation, as it is a wee bit sad in parts. Still, both book and programme are well worth a look, would recommend to a friend.
