Love on a Branch Line

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.
