Love on a Branch Line

1994 · 1 season

A gentle, sunlit amble through English eccentricity, all wry wit and soft-focus romance, pleasant and unhurried.

Overview: Refined civil servant Jasper Pye is sent to the rural Suffolk–Norfolk border to close the Office of Output Statistics, which has outlived its usefulness. Instead, he's seduced by the small idyllic world he discovers, making his task far more difficult than he'd imagined. He soon finds himself entangled with the local aristocrat's three beautiful daughters.
How it feels: Whimsical, warm, romantic and satirical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, identity, work, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
