In the years before the First World War, three Britons are drawn into fraught and ultimately tragic relations: Anglican Christopher Tietjens, second son of the lord of the manor of Groby, Yorkshire, who is a disconsolate, Tory statistician in London; Catholic Sylvia Satterthwaite, his promiscuous and self- centered socialite wife who has married him only to hide the fact that their son is not really his; and freethinking Valentine Wannop, a young suffragette and daughter of a lady novelist, who is torn between her idealism and her attraction to "Chrissy". As the war works a profound change on Europe, and Chrissy is badly wounded in France, the conflict shatters and rearranges the lives of all three principals, as well as virtually everyone else in their elite circle. Production[edit]The series was conceived when Damien Timmer approached playwright Tom Stoppard to write the adaptation; after reading the novels, Stoppard agreed to pen the screenplay,[9] this marking his return to television after a 3. Stoppard has stated that he had considered Benedict Cumberbatch for the role of Christopher Tietjens even before Sherlock made him a global star.[1. Adelaide Clemens was cast as Valentine after arriving for her audition in period clothing. Initially producers were reluctant to cast an Australian actress, but were won over on finding that Clemens' father is a British national.[1. A significant part of the film was shot on location in Kent at Dorton House and St.

Thomas a Becket Church.[1. Additional scenes were filmed at Freemasons' Hall in London and Duncombe Park. The rest of the series was filmed in Belgium, including Poeke Castle in the town of Aalter,[1. Western Front recreated in Flanders.[1. Stoppard made changes from the original, such as excluding most of the fourth novel, streamlining the plot to focus on the love triangle, and adding overt sex scenes.[1.

The exclusion of the fourth novel is not without precedent; it was also done in Graham Greene's 1. Parade's End and Ford himself sometimes referred to it as a trilogy. He may have written the fourth to fulfill a contract or because he needed more money," said Michael Schmidt, the executor of Ford's literary estate.[1. Benedict Cumberbatch as Christopher Tietjens.

There is, however, no difference in content between the two versions. Indeed, the episodes in the six- part version have an episode length of approximately 4. Reception[edit]The series has received widespread acclaim from British critics with The Independent's Grace Dent going so far as to proclaim it "one of the finest things the BBC has ever made".[1. Others praised Cumberbatch and Hall in the lead roles, Cumberbatch for his ability to express suppressed pain with The Independent's Gerard Gilbert saying "Perhaps no other actor of his generation is quite so capable of suggesting the tumult beneath a crusty, seemingly inert surface"[2.

The Arts Desk's Emma Dibdin finding "Cumberbatch's performance.. Hall's Sylvia was lauded as "one of the great female characters of the past decade" by Caitlin Moran, who also wrote that "the script and direction have genius- level IQ" in her Times TV column.[2. It’s an astonishing performance not least because it seems somehow to take on the authority of a lost generation of great acting. He uses his voice so rich and deep and subtle like the grand piano of one the great actors of the Laurence Olivier generation. Yet his Tietjens is character acting carried to a point where authenticity transcends itself and turns into something heroic.

This is a performance that ranks with Roger Livesey in Michael Powell’s The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp  — a parallel work, as it happens —  or the very best work of Alec Guinness.”—Arts critic Peter Craven on Benedict Cumberbatch as Christopher Tietjens[2. Parade's End attracted 3. BBC2's most watched drama since Rome aired in 2. The second episode had a drop in ratings with 2. A few viewers found the sound mixing problematic, with dialogue difficult to hear and understand.[2.

Writing for Roger Ebert's Chicago Sun- Times column, Jeff Shannon wrote that the miniseries has "up- scale directing" and "award- worthy performances"[2.

Brad Oswald of the Winnipeg Free Press called it "a television masterpiece".[2. Ford's tetralogy of novels became a best- seller after the dramatisation was broadcast on BBC.[2. Awards and nominations[edit]Parade's End has been nominated for numerous awards since its original broadcast. Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall won the Broadcasting Press Guild awards for Best Actor and Actress respectively, while Tom Stoppard picked up the Writer's Award and the series itself won Best Drama Series.[3.
