Whimsy is served up by the ladleful in the Pursuit of Love (BBC One, Sunday) Emily Mortimer’s adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s inter-war pastiche of the English upper classes. T-Rex and New Order stomp and mooch across the soundtrack. Characters are introduced via Wes Anderson-style flat compositions. Cousins Fanny (Emily Beecham) and Linda (Lily James) are pictures of turbocharged frivolity. It’s a lot.
