A Dance to the Music of Time (TV series)

Several young men go through public school and university together, and maintain contact as they make their way in the world through the 1920s, the upheavals of the 1930s, the Second World War, and the post-war years of change in society. Many of the people they meet fall by the wayside, and their own fates are varied. The series attempts to chart the change in upper-middle-class society through their stories, and the realities of how the English social system worked. ==Cast==

The Thomas Sutcliffe of The Independent described the first episode in the series by saying "It's questionable whether any literary work can survive a compression as intense as that undergone by A Dance to the Music of Time" and went on to mention "For obvious reasons barely even a homeopathic trace of Powell's patrician ruminations remain - what has survived are the incidents upon which he strung his grand reflections."
