Christabel (1988)
TV Show
First aired
Four hour-long episodes on BBC2 in late 1988, adapted from the memoirs of Christabel Bielenberg, an Englishwoman married to a German lawyer, who spent World War II living in Nazi Germany. Elizabeth Hurley plays her in one of her earliest leading roles.
This is the most conventional thing on the list, a sober true story told straight, and it shows Potter's restraint as an adapter. Choose it if you want wartime drama about ordinary people under pressure, less if you came for the strangeness.
