Editorial Reviews

Here's what the television critic of London's Daily Express said of this surreal comedy series: "Utterly charming, exquisitely acted and directed—the nearest thing...to perfect." So much for British restraint! The story that inspired this rave highlights the misadventures of one Jasper Pye, who trades his tedious desk-bound job for an obscure research project in remote Arcady Village. There he finds all the intrigue, sparkle, and romance missing from his former life. The message? Travel off the beaten path onto a branch line. 3 hours 20 min. on 2 DVDs.

I love this production. I recall seeing it in 1995 on TV during my final year of high school, but I only saw the final episode. Years later (about 1998), a relative of mine told me about it, and she reminded me of its name. That same year it was on TV again and I got to see it all. I was so very happy to find this on DVD - all my friends love this production as well, and I also have the novel. Brilliant stuff

It is quintessentially English - The borders of Norfolk and Suffolk in a sleepy village called Arcady, a civil servant with the wonderful name of Jasper Pye comes from London to Arcady Hall, a Tudor style Estate (Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk) and learns to enjoy his 'boring' life a little more by flirting with the 3 daughters of Lord Flamborough (Leslie Philips). Watch as Jasper attempts to be tactful when he is forced to close down the Government statistical unit at the Hall, while trying not to hurt his new friends. Romance and lust is not lacking in this fantastic English story set in the late 1950s.

Classic dry British humor -- or should I spell it humour? Also a refreshing and definitely British take on sex.

Love On A Branch Line is perfect for those who enjoy stories about English eccentrics like P.G Wodehouse wrote about. The cast is very good, and the locations include an incredible garden and
manor house. A great gift for the Masterpiece Theater fan.

This is supposed to be a hilarious comedy. Where are the laughs, let alone smiles? Sure, there are many eccentrics bounding about the countryside. But none of them is being funny. I'm a great fan of British comedies, but I can only recommended this to insomniacs.

One of the gentle but great British comedies. Great casting of theater trained actors who make this a really enjoyable & hilarious romp. Extremely watchable time & time again.
