This is the gripping four part series based on the bestselling novels of Anthony Powell, featuring a BAFTA winning performance by Simon Russell Beale, alongside James Purefoy, Miranda Richardson, Zoe Wanamaker and John Standing.
A Dance To The Music Of Time is a comic portrait of upper-class and bohemian England spanning almost a century, from the early 20s to modern times. Friendship, adultery, ambition and failure are set against the backdrop of London's social, political and artistic life. Foolish love, broken dreams, marriages of convenience, affairs of the heart, knives in the back. This drama of life, like life itself, is rich in unexpected twists and turns.
