Sophy is resented by Helena, and has little in common with Richard, and so is pleased when her four cousins arrive in August for a holiday. They talk excitedly about the possibility of war, and look forward to the 'Terror Run' - a night-time spree along a cliff path. Austrian refugees Max and Monika Erstweiler are invited to the traditional family dinner which takes place before the run, but the evening comes to an abrupt end when the news arrives that the outbreak of war is imminent. ## Images ![The Camomile Lawn [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81intxbom7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Camomile Lawn - a delight! *by W***N on 14 January 2011* This mini-TV series was an absolute delight. The scenes, plot, actors everything!All performances were superb right from ten-year old Rebecca Hall (incredible and 'natural' actress!) to old favourites such as felicity Kendal and the cameos of Richard Johnson et al. The hints of, dare I say, 'child abuse' involving young Sophy were so delicately handled as to almost not be there at all. The overall sexual innuendo - intertwined throughout the series - was again almost not there; just a natural extended family doing what natural extended families have been doing since the beginning of time.I caught an episode on TV some years after it was made and was entrapped from the word go but not being an avid TV-watcher missed subsequent episodes. So I tracked it down on Amazon, bought it, and now know that this is one of the most prized DVDs that I have ever purchased. The DVD quality is good, no different to as shown on TV, and worth every penny. I'll watch it and watch it and treasure it always.This story was about Sophy. Others might disagree, but it starts with young Sophy (Rebecca Hall) and ends with older Sophy (Claire Bloom, wow!). The story follows Sophy's life. Everything else is going on around her, but it IS her life that the story is centered on. Also, I thought the twins were hillarious how they mimicked each other's every thought and word - so if you want: a brilliant story, drama, sex, humour, great acting, beautiful scenery - buy it! As I said: A Delight! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wo perfume scene play. *by A***R on 1 February 2025* An excellent version of the true story.Absolutely the best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A faithful adaptation and great fun. *by S***T on 15 September 2014* The Camomile Lawn tells the story of how members of one large extended family go through a progressive loss of innocence prior, during and after WWII. The opening chapter is concerned with family holidays to Uncle Richard's house in Cornwall where Oliver, Calypso, Sophy and Polly enjoy fabulous visits and carefree experiences. Once war is declared, that idyllic existence is tarnished as one by one they all feel the effects of the war. Subsequently, many years later, the older versions of the main characters all congregate for a funeral where they share their experiences and reopen old wounds and rivalries.its hard to believe that its been 22 years since this excellent mini series was aired on channel 4. Although relatively low budget, the actors do a great job with a sharp script and inject a real vibrancy into their characters. Jennifer Ehle and Tara Fitzgerald stand out as the beauties of the piece, but the whole cast are good and the "oldies" are a faithful representation of what the younger characters would likely evolve into.Mary wesley always liked to blow a long, protracted raspberry at the upper classes in her novels, but in "The cammomile lawn" she exchanges her sarcasm for fondess of the courage (although often flawed) of the war generation. As with any Wesley novel, she shows characters who are deeply complicated and have differing measures of virtue and deceit. This translates well to the screen in this adaptation.The 80's and early 90's produced some wonderful T.V. period pieces which I think would be difficult to make with the same degree of affection today. Perhaps it's just the years passing, but as that period becomes less relevant to the modern generation, I have noticed the shift from warm nostaglia to matter of fact story telling in subsequent productions of recent years.Great fun and has something for every "Mad dog and Englishman!" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/49400702-the-camomile-lawn-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/49400702-the-camomile-lawn-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
