Time to dig through the VHS for some vintage 1980's drama-rama. First, Diana has nothing to do with royals, okay? Diana is the TV adaptation of the R.F. Delderfield novel. To Serve Them All My Days was another RF Delderfield novel that was made into a TV series that was popular on both sides of the Atlantic. I believe this has sat in some storage facility since it's only broadcast in 1984. Can't tell you much about this, but the IMDB site has about a dozen reviews/comments about it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0136637/Summer's Lease is the TV adaptation of the John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey) book. Produced by the BBC with funding provided by WGBH-Boston for Masterpiece Theatre, the Australian Broadcasting Corp, and Television New Zealand.
The Woman He Loved was yet another flogging of the Edward 8th / Wallis Warfield-Simpson story. Edward was king, he had the hots for Wallis but she couldn't be queen because she was divorced and American (ya gotta be German to be queen). Jane Seymour was Wallis in this one. Robert Hardy reprised his Churchill role for this. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096460/
