Radio Times has announced the time and date for the broadcast of BBC’s adaptation of Waugh’s novel Decline and Fall. Episode 1 will be transmitted on Friday 31 March at 9pm UK time. This will be on BBC1 rather than BBC2 as originally announced. The two subsequent episodes will be broadcast in the same time slot in succeeding weeks. Details of North American transmission are not mentioned in the article. The program will be available on the internet shortly after broadcast via BBC iPlayer. A UK internet connection will be required to view it on the internet at points outside the UK.
Very excited to hear that Decline and Fall will finally be screened as we purchased the main, central building that was known as Arnold House, 7 months ago. This was where Waugh was a teacher and the novel was based. This section of the old boarding school is currently undergoing major renovation works and has been renamed ‘Ty Delfryn’.
