Viewers who are fans of British drama will enjoy this superb adaptation of Vita Sackville-West's All Passions Spent. After the death of her husband Lady Slane, to the chagrin of her children, decides to retreat to a cottage in the Hampstead countryside to rediscover herself. As she begins to discover her creative gifts in the process of renovating her new home and garden, Lady Slane reflects on the choices she made throughout her life of public duty. Lady Slane is brilliantly played by Dame Wendy Hiller whose style and quiet grace permeates the entire story. Nominated for four Bafta Awards including best drama and best actress, this BBC production's profound message of life's choices lost and made is sure to touch the soul of even the most detached of viewers.
