Notes

Comprising 4 episodes, each approximately an hour in length
Written by English author and essayist Fay Weldon (b. 1931). Weldon's 1987 novel "The Heart of the Country" was actually based on the TV serial, rather than the other way round. As she explained in 2015, after the TV show she made the story into a novel "when I realised that one of the minor characters was actually the major one, so it was much changed. I think it's the favourite of all my novels."
