A Dance to the Music of Time

Based on the epic twelve-volume novel by Anthony Powell, A Dance to the Music of Time is a sprawling, four-part adaptation made for the UK's Channel Four television network. Dance spans five decades, tracing the progress of narrator Nick Jenkins (James Purefoy) and his compatriots from their school days through World War II up until their varying successes and failures later in life. Claire Skinner lives up to her moniker mo(i)st spectacularly while completely exposing her naked body, while Miranda Richardson's veteran breasts, as always, will put a jaunty dance in your pants.
