I had assumed that it was lost, and was horrified to learn that it was still in the BBC's posession but has never been reshown. It was a brilliant dramatisation of important twentieth century literature and led me to a belated awareness of European events and ideas in recent history that I was completley unaware of. It kick started an interest in politics and history which has lasted to this day.

The BBC at its best. Perhaps not seen because it demonstrates the cultural difference between the BBC then and now. We must be able to see this series if we wish to, after all the BBC is owned by the nation and shouldn't hide works of art.

S'ensuivit une extrême passion pour ce livre, j'étais émoustillée, émerveillée, émue. Ce livre avait une valeur assez sentimentale pour moi. J'ai donc tout bonnement continué à lire la suite (Le sursis, la mort dans l'âme.....). J'avais le livre la mort dans l'âme, il me suffisait juste de compléter par le sursis !
Lorsque j'ai pris connaissance du fait qu'il y avait quelque part, cette ''trilogie'' adaptée en série, ce fut le début de la fin. Il y eut une rafale d'émotions de toutes part, je n'en revenais pas. Moi qui n'avais pas connu cette série, j'allais pouvoir m'empresser de la découvrir. Mais quelle terrible déception quand je sus que cette série n'était disponible nul part !
Vous ne pouvez pas nous enlever le droit de voir ce chef d'oeuvre , au nom de quoi vous permettez-vous d'agir ainsi ?
Je suis frustrée pour une série que je n'ai même pas vue ! Je m'y suis déjà attachée, alors qu'elle n'est même pas disponible !
Je pense que toutes les personnes douées de nostalgie concernant ces livres, pourront comprendre ma peine et mon désarroi.

Traduction in english :
I am a young Frenchwoman who studied Sartre's book "L'Âge de raison" in class, in high school.
There followed an extreme passion for this book, I was thrilled, amazed, moved. This book had a rather sentimental value for me. So I simply went on to read the sequel (Le sursis, la mort dans l'âme.....). I had the book "death in my soul", I just had to add "the reprieve"!
When I learned that there was this "trilogy" adapted into a series somewhere, that was the beginning of the end. There was a flurry of emotions on all sides, I couldn't believe it. I, who had not known this series, was going to be able to rush to discover it. But what a terrible disappointment when I knew that this series was not available anywhere!
You can't take away the right to see this masterpiece, why would you allow yourself to do that?
I am frustrated for a series that I have not even seen! I've already become attached to it, and it's not even available!
I think that all the people who are nostalgic about these books will understand my pain and my dismay.

Thirteen weeks later ,having experienced what can only be described as an extended Damascian moment, I finally realised what good television drama was all about. Along with the early monitor etc., films of Ken Russell and the photographs of Don Mcculloch the series was an iconic event in my life.
