Parade's End
Following on from its run on BBC Two, BBC Worldwide are proud to announce the DVD, Blu-Ray and digital release of Parade’s End - a brand new drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall.
Parade's End is a flagship five-part series adapted by internationally acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Sir Tom Stoppard (Empire Of The Sun, Shakespeare In Love, Anna Karenina) from a quartet of novels by Ford Madox Ford, widely acknowledged be one of the literary masterworks of the 20th century.
It is directed by multi Emmy-nominated and Bafta-winning film maker Susanna White (Bleak House, Boardwalk Empire).
Set during a formative period of British history - from the twilight years of the Edwardian era to the end of the First World War, the story centres on English aristocrat Christopher Tietjens (Cumberbatch) who enters into a destructive marriage with the beautiful but cruel socialite Sylvia (Hall).
Ignoring her overt flirtation with other men, Christopher resolves to remain faithful to her, even when he encounters fearless young suffragette Valentine.
Parade’s End also boasts a supporting cast including such acting luminaries as Roger Allam, Anne-Marie Duff, Rupert Everett and Stephen Graham.
The series is produced by Oscar and Bafta-winning David Parfitt (The Madness Of King George, Shakespeare In Love, My Week With Marilyn) and twice Bafta-winning Selwyn Roberts (Longitude, Shackleton).
