<DIV>We no longer buy the “Radio Times”, but a friend left a copy of the 25-31
Jul 2015 issue in our house. There is a feature, "Bloomsbury Bedhoppers:
Virginia Nicholson - Virginia Woolf's great-niece - insists that there's more to
this cerebral set of friends than love triangles . . .", which incorrectly
stated that the first episode was on Thursday (as originally scheduled), rather
than Monday (as actually scheduled). The preview page for Monday had a
negative summing up by Alison Graham. Finally, the “best this week”
section summarised: "Unintentionally gigglesome biopic of the tiresome
Bloomsbury Group, centred on sisters Vanessa and Virginia. Everyone is
terrifically tortured."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I deduce from this last that even the “Radio Times” thinks that the TV
schedules are rubbish.</DIV>

disagree.<BR><BR>The costumes are often exact models of many seen in photographs
of the Bloomsbury group. For example Vanessa's painting smock resembles the one
she wore painting Lady Cecil 1905 Tate Archive. See Frontispiece Bell Sketches
in Pen and Ink.<BR><BR>The lighting and cinematography have a dark authenticity
as you would expect from Simon Kaijser the Swedish film director (who describes
himself as a secular humanist and climber - perfect for Bloomsbury?). The filmic
quality is immediately evident in the deftly overlapping conversations at
Thoby's Thursday evenings.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Frances Spalding's review is very
accurate. The Lady review summed up one of the delights of the series so far
with its praise for the "epicene" men - James Norton particularly fine as the
young Duncan but it's an ensemble cast.<BR><BR><A

of the dialogue is anachronistic but hopefully will bring in younger viewers.
I'd have liked a less angsty Virginia but her wit and humour may develop in
later episodes.<BR><BR>Can't wait for episode
