With a new adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love on our screens, the peculiarly Mitfordian combination of ballgowns and homemade knits look appealing again

. “My theory is that it’s a lot to do with The Pursuit of Love. It reimagines them, as it were, and creates what I would call the Mitford mythology wherein everything is submerged in charm.”The Pursuit of Love tells the story of hopeless romantic Linda Radlett, as narrated by her more sensible cousin Fanny Logan. Set between the wars, it is in part a thinly veiled retelling of Nancy’s life. The adaptation stars Lily James, Dominic West and Andrew Scott, and is directed by Emily Mortimer.

Lily James excels in post-Bridgerton period bonkbuster The Pursuit of Love – reviewAdapted from Nancy Mitford’s breakthrough novel, the BBC drama also stars Dominic West and Andrew Scott Poor Nancy Mitford is spinning in her grave. The two female leads are supposed to be late teens or early 20s. The actors playing them are 36 and 32. Ridiculous casting. Lily James is a good actor but must she be in every period drama? What a disappointment this was. So heavy-handed all round.
