A riveting series that was brilliantly acted by the entire cast, with many going on to further sucesses in their careers. Stephanie Beacham and Stephanie Cole stand out in my memory. Many other cast members are now highly recognizable, mostly on British TV, but some like Miss Beacham in the US for her casting in the original ''Dynasty''. It has been several years since I watched this back in the 1970's, every Sunday afternoon on a network that since became a paid subscription channel, A&E I believe. The series started with the British spouses of diplomats, officers and soldiers, enjoying life until being caught in Singapore when it fell to the Imperial Japanese forces. I'd love to have this series in my collection, to watch again and again!
