The BBC dramatisation of Tolstoy's epic story of love and loss set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Anthony Hopkins heads the cast as Pierre Bezukhov, Morag Hood is Natasha Rostova, Alan Dobie is Andrei Bolkonsky and David Swift is Napoleon, whose decision to invade Russia in 1812 has far-reaching consequences for each of them and their families.
    Hopkins received the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor for his performance, and the production designer Don Homfray won a BAFTA for his work on the series.

    This is the WAR & PEACE to watch if you want an adaptation which hews closely to the text. I have seen them all, every single one of them, and this one comes the closest.
    While not usually a fan, this also has one of Anthony Hopkins better performances in my unimportant opinion; he's excellent here throughout.
    Moorag Hood's initially grating Natasha improves noticeably in the series' latter half ;)
    Watch it --- you won't be disappointed! BRAVO, Shakespeare Network!

    A big thankyou to the Shakespeare network team ! There is nothing quite like this anywhere else! I am loving the natural progression from Shakespeare to Greek theatre, and now to such a high quality version of Tolstoy! Antony Hopkins impeccably embodies Pierre here! If your team needs volunteers for any purpose, please contact me; I’ll be most happy to contribute to this noble project!!

    Para mi el mejor Pierre Bezhukov de todos los que tienen aparecido en cine y TV. Solo le puede hacer sombra el Pierre de la película del ruso Bodarchuck de 1967. En España pasaron la serie británica en el año 1975 con un gran éxito, como casi todos los productos británicos que llegaron a España, de gran calidad. Saludos cordiales desde España.

    I saw this on the BBC when it was first shown back in 1972/3.Ended up reading the book as it was being shown. Hopkins and Alan Dobie were great as Pierre and Andrei. A brilliant experience.

    My first exposure to War and Peace when it was shown on Masterpiece Theatre. Gave me the incentive to read the book the first time. I also have the DVD of this series but it is so handy to have it here. Well done!

      Same here - I watched this when it was first on TV in the UK and then went off and read the book. In all honesty, I found the TV version to be much more enjoyable. Anthony Hopkins looks awfully young but then I suppose it was quite a few years ago.........

    Absolutely wonderful.. I've always been intimated by the length of 'War n Peace' and life just doesnt allow for the time to sit and read a 1200 page book.. This 1972 series is just perfect..
