The dramatic portrayal and insight into the characters is splendid.
This is the second copy I have purchased: this one for a Norwegian friend who is a keen student of Pepys. I have a copy of the published diary and have also listened to it read by Kenneth Branagh. This dramatised production is so accessible with all the nuances of Pepys's foibles and shortcomings and his relationships with his family, servants, lady friends and employers and the historical references of the times.
