Friday, 21st May 2021 at 1:48 pm In the third and final episode of The Pursuit of Love, events take a sudden and tragic turn (spoiler alert!); just when everything seems to be going well, the subject of the story – Lily James’s Linda Radlett – dies in childbirth. It’s an abrupt ending, even more so because her death takes place off-screen.

SIR – How sad it is to see GPs discouraged from seeing and examining patients. It is so easy to miss important problems when the doctor does not meet, talk to and examine the patient. “If you don’t put you finger in it you may put your foot in it” was true when I was training and is true now. John Dixon   SIR – Reading about the policy of discouraging face-to-face appointments alongside recent letters on this page made me wonder if the older generation is being written off. I am 85. ...

"Its the first time Ive been involved in something since its genesis, and I adored it," she explained. "I just feel so connected to it.

Feathers, organza and unironed pyjamas: why fashion can’t get enough of the Mitford mythology Lauren Cochrane “Elegance in England,” wrote Nancy Mitford “is of such different stuff from that in any other country that it is not easy to make foreigners believe in it at all.” Nancy – and her aristo sisters Diana, Decca, Debo, Pam and Unity – have been part of the case for English elegance since the 30s thanks to a mixture of tweedy suits, ballgowns, tea dresses and ju...

Fanny and Linda The new three-part period drama The Pursuit of Love is something of a labour of love for Emily Mortimer.
