The Norman Conquest trilogy is a most satisfying set of tales, in which the events of one week-end are told three times, set in different rooms through the eyes of different characters, none of whom has the whole picture. The script (Ayckbourne) is witty, the ensemble of actors clicks, and the characters they play are well defined and interesting. Tom Conti, as the pivotal character, exuded the charm and charisma that were subsequently lost in Hollywood; Richard Briers and Penelope Keith were at the top of their "Good Life" form; and David Troughton was marvellously lovelorn as the vet. See the three episodes. You won't regret it.
