The Miniseries

 One reason for The Camomile Lawn's enduring popularity is Ken Taylor's adaptation for television. Directed by Peter Hall, the 5 episode miniseries was broadcast on Channel 4 in 1992. It followed the book closely and featured many famous faces like Claire Bloom, Felicity Kendal and Jennifer Ehle.
