Double bill of the TV drama series adapted from novels by Ken Follett. 'The Pillars of the Earth' (2010), set against the tumultuous backdrop of civil war in the 12th century, chronicles the construction of a cathedral in the town of Kingsbridge and follows the intertwining stories of the people involved in the project, from master builder Tom (Rufus Sewell) to stonemason Jack (Eddie Redmayne). The episodes are: 'Anarchy', 'Master Builder', 'Redemption', 'Battlefield', 'Legacy', 'Witchcraft', 'New Beginnings' and 'The Work of Angels'. 'World Without End' (2012) continues the story of Kingsbridge into the 1300s. As King Edward III (Blake Ritson) prepares to lead England into a ruinous war with France, the residents of the town have a different vision of the future.

About this product

Product Information

A double DVD collection featuring PILLARS OF THE EARTH and WORLD WITHOUT END. PILLARS OF THE EARTH - Ian McShane, Donald Sutherland, and Rufus Sewell headline this eight-part miniseries adapted from the best-selling novels by author Ken Follett. As England moves out of the Dark Ages, the tensions between ambitious mason Tom Builder (Sewell), Bishop Waleran Bigod (McShane), and the heirs of King Stephen (Toony Curran), King Henry (Clive Wood), and Queen Maud (Alison Pill) come to a head when Builder's plan to construct an opulent cathedral threaten to trudge up some damning secrets that the royal families would rather remain buried. WORLD WITHOUT END - Based on Ken Follett's epic novel of the same name, this eight-hour mini-series set in the Dark Ages finds England preparing for a prolonged war with France as the Black Death descends on Europe. As the war drums begin to beat, Caris and her lover Merthin defy both the church and the crown by forming a sovereign community in Kingsbridge. Meanwhile, an assassin targets the king, and a devastating development threatens to hinder the arrival of a new era of enlightenment.

  • Always a happy ending

    I preferred Pillars if the Earth as I like the actors and the acting. The second film was good but there was a long time between each one.

  • Breathtaking romance and action, a great story.

    A great story for both films. Top class British actors in appropriate clothing for the time period. We'll researched settings for the backdrops and scenery. Attention to detail in all areas of production.

  • A good period drama

    Saw a trailer made me curious both of the programs had a strong cast and good storylines with twists and turns that happen over a period of time. The way characters aged in some parts was not as convincing but if you can get past that then it’s an enjoyable watch
