An affair to remember
This made for tv adaptation of Joanna Trollope's novel 'A village affair' is absolutly excellent. It is close enough to the novel and it broke some ground for the BBC by portraying a lesbian relationship. As a 'happily' married woman Alice Jordan begins a secret affair with a local woman which is excellently presented with sensitivity and love. Keira knightley has a small role as Alice's eldest daughter and it is nice to see her before she hit the big time. There is another twist....Much as Alice Jordan left her husband for a woman, so (a few years after production) did Sophie Ward (who played her)!

Not everyones cup of tea but I enjoyed it as a refreshing change and a new viewpoint. Fairly well acted with a believable plot.
