for the record: I don't remember the tv series at all and I am not sure I want to see the movie

There is a movie based on Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisted coming out soon.

In the early 1980's there was a TV series based on the same book. It was hugely popular and my friends and I watched it religiously. All of a sudden I am brought back to rainy and cold winter streets, and memories of who my best friends were at that time. I am rarely in touch with them. I don't miss the liar of the bunch, but the other two I liked a lot.
