Anyone else watching, or has watched? It’s on BBC iplayer,
It’s a long time since I’ve been so riveted by anything!

I've seen it before, but yes it's very good.

The Mitford sisters are fascinating, aren’t they? I enjoy reading about them and I have seen several tv programmes charting their lives.

Outrageous is the right word for them!

I’ve seen it before but will probably watch it again.

Plenty of mileage in anything about the Mitford sisters.

I do hope there a second series! (I understand that this has yet to be confirmed - or not.) There is much still to be covered, regarding the goings-on with the Mitford sisters!

Watched this when it was first aired, I loved it, thought it was well acted.

I watched it a while ago and loved it.

I watched it a bit back and enjoyed it. A lot of it tallied with the youngest sister Deborah’s autobiography “Wait for Me!” Which is also a good read. It chronicles her life from the early years with her sisters and family to her life with Andrew Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire.

A facinating family the book ‘Hons and Rebels’ is a very good reed by Jessica Mitford if I remember correctly. It is mostly about their chaotic childhood.

I enjoy reading and watching anything about the Mitford sisters. They had such an unusual upbringing, and all turned out very differently. I am enjoying the series.
