Parade's End is an adaptation of Tom Stoppard  ( Shakespeare in Love ) from the work of Ford Mardox Ford, starring  Benedict Cumberbatch  ( Sherlock ),  Rebecca Hall  and  Adelaine Clemens , among others.

Set during the first World War, the five-episode mini-series chronicles the life of Christopher Tietjens, a passive and conservative English aristocrat married to Sylvia, an ambitious woman who has extramarital affairs.

When Christopher goes to war he knows Wannop Valentine, a young feminist who becomes part of the triangle.

Also in the cast are actors Roger Allam,  Anne-Marie Duff, Rupert Everett, Stephen Graham  (Boardwalk Empire),  Clare Higgins, Janet McTeer, Miranda Richardson  (Rubicon),  Freddie Fox  (The Shadow Line),  Jack Huston  (Boardwalk Empire) , Tom Mison, Geoffrey Palmer, Jamie Parker  (The Hour) and  Steven Robertson .

Parade's End is a Mammoth Screen production in partnership with the Anchorage Entertainment, Look Out Point and Trademark Films, filmed on location in the UK, Belgium and France. Still no release date announced, the miniseries was sold to channels in Australia (Nine Network) and France (Art) during MIPTV, fair audiovisual for which this poster was produced.


Oh wow, I actually adore watching Rupert Everett. Perhaps people can tell us about the other actors? Yes, I can Google & probably will so please don't just post Wiki links etc, but I'd like to hear some personal points of view from others who have watched them in other shows/films.

Parade's End has been licensed to 17 Central and Eastern European regions via HBO. It is also to be shown by RTV Slovenia, ETV Estonia, LTV Latvia and STV Slovakia.

Apparently, Benny's dad, Timothy Carlton, will be playing his character's father in this series. All together now, ahh 

Susi, have you seen War Horse? Benny has a small role, but the film as a whole tells a very interesting, sad story. And do you know the story of the Christmas Truce?

Is it in poor taste to tell you that my grandfather fought in the Australian Army in France during World War I? If so, ignore me 
Glad the world is generally a more peaceful place now.

For the German speakers among us a slightly outdated article from FAZ about the BBC programme exhibition. While talking about "Sherlock" it doesn't mention if "Parade's End" has been sold to German TV:

It's a pity you haven't been able to get your book published as I believe there would be a market for it. Maybe you need to get it translatedinto english along with your other books. There would certainly be a market amongst the members here. If anyone wants an excellent read I can recommend Straight Into Darkness by Faye Kellerman as a murder mystery set in 1920's Berlin.

Yes, I think in English it might have had a chance. And I shall have a look at the Kellerman book.

I would think it will pretty much certainly be shown in Germany. It doesn't say specifically but it does say 17 central and eastern European countries.

But surely not in Spain
Gosh, I have to leave... like right now

It's definitely been bought for Australia! Not that you'd be interested Hep! Lol
