Duration: 3 hours 38 minutes

David Beames and John Flanagan star in this 1981 BBC adaptation of H.E. Bates' wartime drama Fair Stood The Wind For France.

When pilot John Franklin crash lands his Wellington bomber in occupied France at the height of the Second World War, he is concerned for the safety of his crew and worried about his own badly injured arm.

His crew escape, but the family of a mill owner risk their lives to hide Franklin in their home until he regains his health.

During the following balmy summer months, the pilot's situation is further complicated by his feelings for Francoise, the daughter of the house. As German patrols move in, his only chance of survival is to flee from France.

I saw that there were a lot of requests for this series, so I ripped it from the DVD I spotted in my library last week.

Enjoy! :-)

This is a great series and it's great to see it on DVD. It's one of the best wartime dramas to ever reach our screens, based on the book of the same name by H.E Bates. The series does the book credit - great casting and locations.

The book was chosen as a celebration of the author's work and was featured in the H.E Bates Centenery celebrations in 2005. With so much interest this will become a best seller before long... they simply dont make them like that anymore[/quote]

A beautifully realised adaption of H.E.Bates classic novel.

Great performances all-round and Cecille Paoli is incredibly beautiful and convincing in the lead role.

The story of war time France, and the English pilot who falls in love with his French "host" after his plane crash lands, is told with great sensitivity.

It movingly portrays the inherent difficulties faced by the French citizens trying to assist the trapped English in occupied France.

The performance of David Beames is equally convincing and I would have liked to have seen more of him over the years on English television.

Other TV adaptations from H.E.Bates have been excellent - e.g. Love For Lydia, A Moment In Time - however, Fair Stood The Wind For France is possibly the best of all.[/quote]
