8th August 2025

As readers of the Persephone Letter know some of us have just finished watching all three series of the 2008 (onwards) Lark Rise to Candleford and are now bereft. But two suggestions in emails yesterday from readers of the Post: 'I agree Heimat is one of the best ever. I still have several episodes recorded off BBC2 on video. It is still available in German on the Internet Archive, an amazing source of old programmes.' Also: 'I write to say I hope you will include the Tenko set. It was a wonderful weekly dose of, for the most part, women’s courage and patience in such daunting circumstances.' Yes, we would have liked to include Tenko. And A French Village (much loved by 'our' author Judith Viorst, although we found it far too harrowing to watch). The other one we would have liked to include is Foyle's War. We are off for a rewatch.
