One of the major highlights of 2012 was Parade’s End, a BBC – HBO production which stars Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch. The scripts are by Tom Stoppard and based on a quarter of novels by Ford Maddox Ford.
The plot follows a love triangle between a married couple and a suffragette with the heavy back drop of world war one playing a part.
