Love in a Cold Climate, Deborah Moggach's efficient adaptation of Nancy Mitford's two best-known novels, hits an entirely appropriate balance between the comic and the sentimenally tragic. Viewpoint figure Fanny observes from her happy marriage the complicatedly messy lives of her two closest friends, Polly and Linda. Polly escapes from a mother jealous of her beauty into a marriage that gets her disinherited and leaves her ultimately alone when her husband falls for the pretty male cousin who has supplanted her; Linda falls in turn for an Anglo-German banker, a posh young Communist who ships her off to the Spanish Civil War and a brilliant doomed French aristocrat. Mingled with this sweet-sour material is the memorable comic relief: Linda's monstrous father and world-weary mother, the eccentric and affectionate Lord Merlin and Fanny's long-absent mother, the Bolter. This has everything we expect from a BBC serial--excellent casting, a strong sense of period and pacey direction. --Roz Kaveney
