Testament of Youth

I came to Testament of Youth by way of the classic BBC TV serialisation: Cheryl Campbell gave an outstanding performance as Vera Brittain.  I read the book shortly afterwards, and I've even seen a one-woman stage version.

The reviews for the new film version look good and I'll definitely see it- even though the film makers seem to have moved Somerville to Radcliffe Square and rebadged BNC:



The BBC filmed in Somerville, and there was some brilliant editing to make sure that the tracking shots did not pick up any of the new buildings.
