Birdsong Part 2...

So part two of the fabulous adaptation of Birdsong aired on the BBC on Sunday, and like part one it didn't fail to impress me. OK so it may have been slow and not really that much happened, but that was part of its beauty for me.
This time round however Clemence Poesey did annoy me slightly she seemed a bit more wooden which I didn't like. But aside from that the relationship between Firebrace and Stephen that blossomed was just stunning, as it was in the book. That moment when Stephen has to leave Firebrace to die underground really got me teary. I think if I didn't know the plot already I would have been a much bigger mess at that whole scene then I was. Also who could possibly hold back the tears when the entire company goes over the top. (Scenes like that will always remind me of Blackadder Goes Forth. Calling me emotional would not even cover it.

Now what is going to fill the 9pm slot on the BBC??!! No Sherlock, no Birdsong....however will I cope.
