Episode 1. Gather Ye Rosebuds

Episode 2. This War Without An Enemy

Episode 3. The Sound Of Drums

The Battle of Edgehill (or Edge Hill) was the first pitched battle of the First English Civil War. It was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642.


Episode 4. A Silver Moon

Given that this was heralded at the time as the most expensive costume drama ever produced by BBC I find it uncompelling as a story, hammy as a drama, and instantly forgetable when placed beside I Claudius and Elizabeth

[Sally Slade · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good plot, surprisingly well-written.

[Mark Dunn · Rating 1 out of 5]

A probably not a very good romance novel ,you will learn absolutely nothing, about the English civil War.
