  • "Whether it is the Plague or the Fire of London or Pepy's amorous marital and extra-marital activities or his financial affairs, Branagh recounts them with admirable bounce, forthrightness and good humour."
  • "Selections from Pepys' early years, imparting a unique view of seventeenth century London life, and a picture of Pepys the man as he strives to establish himself in his career and in society."

  • "Samuel Pepys was 26 when he decided to start keeping a diary, in January 1660. For the next ten years he faithfully recorded the day's events and confessed his innermost thoughts. That diary has since become one of our most important, and fascinating, historical documents. Pepys gave us eyewitness accounts of some of the great events of the 17th century, including the Great Fire of London and the Second Dutch War. He also told us what people ate and wore, what they did for fun, the tricks they played on each other, what they expected of marriage, and even how they conducted love affairs. He described London, the frozen river Thames, the rising crime rate and the poverty, and recorded the details of his own life: his wife, rivals, lovers and friends, his work for the Navy, his drinking and social life. Over 350 years may have passed since Pepys first put pen to paper, but the man and his preoccupations feel surprisingly familiar. In this major BBC Radio dramatisation of the journals, the sights and sounds of his world are vividly conjured. This collection comprises all ten radio series plus a special Saturday Drama centring on the Great Fire of London."
