Pursuit of Love is about romance with an edge

Fanny and Linda The new three-part period drama The Pursuit of Love is something of a labour of love for Emily Mortimer. Not only does she take a supporting role as The Bolter (so named because of her habit of leaving her husbands), but the Mary Poppins Returns actress also directed the series and adapted the screenplay from the classic novel by Nancy Mitford. So, it may come as a bit of a surprise that she didn’t originally come up with the idea of bringing the book (which has previously been filmed in 1980 and 2001, although both of those versions combined it with Mitford’s follow-up, Love in a Cold Climate) to the screen. It was actually her agent who secured the rights and asked if Emily would be interested in writing the script.

They were posh, gossipy, fabulous, stylish and politically extreme. Were a couple of them – let’s just say it – outrageously right-wing? Yes. But are we still – myself included – completely fascinated by them? Very much yes. I don’t know how I’d have got through the darkest moments of winter lockdown without devouring a doorstop 500-page biography of them. Next week, a gorgeous-looking adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s best and most-loved novel, The Pursuit of Love, will finally air on BBC One – and it’s only bound to renew interest in the sisters. Nothing seems less important right now than the private lives of the landed gentry. And yet, to use their parlance, do admit: the allure prevails.
