Parade's End is a BBC2 and HBO drama mini-series starring Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch. An epic, big-budget production - the most expensive BBC2 period drama ever - it also heralds the return of the legendary Sir Tom Stoppard to British television. The BBC has released stunning new photos which we showcase in this gallery.
Talking about the production, Benedict Cumberbatch said: "Parade's End is an elegy to the death throes of the Edwardian upper classes seen through the paradigm of a love triangle." The three principal characters are Christopher Tietjens (Benedict Cumberbatch), his beautiful but wilful wife Sylvia (Rebecca Hall), and Valentine Wannop (Adelaide Clemens).

The teeniest weeniest mention of the genius without whom this entire venture would not have seen the light of day would have been welcome: Ford Madox Ford, author of "the novel" - actually a sequence of four(a tetralogy) - published in the 1920s, and considered by many to be the greatest work of fiction to emerge from the First World War.

£148 p.a or £12.33 per month compared to £70 per month or £840 p.a for Sky TV......AN ABSOLUTE BARGAIN !
The recent History Plays on BBC2 were worth the licence fee alone. The Olympics coverage has been awsome....not a broadcaster anywhere in the world could come close to it. Yes ,the BBC are not perfect but compared to the mindless dross that ITV and Sky churn out , they are Gold Medalists !!

Why doesn't the BBC spare us and earn it's own money like others channels do? But no..... they want to charge us £148 a year, so that they can pay their fat cats millions in salary, and torture us with advert free nonsense like Eastenders!
