My current obsession.

I vaguely remember watching the very long movie War and Peace staring Audrey Hepburn when I was a little girl and loving it (even if it was a bit much for an eight year old to take in).  So when i came across the new BBC version of War and Peace I was excited - this show ticked all my boxes.
Period drama - tickRomance - tickWar, and most importantly, men in uniform - tick!Beautiful dresses - tickBeautiful and spectacular settings ranging from the crisp white of Winter Russia, to incredible palaces to winter estates - tick, tick, tick!So last week I managed to get a hold of the 3 Disc DVD and I've been chugging through the episodes whenever I get a chance and am loving this series!  Lily James is beautiful is the sweet, clever and romantic Natasha/Natalia, a role originally played by Audrey Hepburn and James Norton takes on the role played by Mel Ferrer as Prince Andrei.

As well as romance there is scandal, there are those less desirable characters who seek to undermine the good in others - affairs, duels, gambling, seduction.  

Tolstoy wrote a wonderful novel that definitely had it all and so far it looks like BBC is bringing it all to the screens.

So War and Peace - my must see watching tip for this week - if you are into all of the above!

bye for now,
