A Year In Provence is based on the fantastic best selling novel by Peter Mayle (A Good Year) and was adapted for TV by the BBC in 1993. This DVD contains the original broadcast version of the mini-series.
It tells the story of Peter Mayle (John Thaw - The Sweeney, Inspector Morse) and his wife Annie Mayle (Lindsay Duncan - Le Week-End, Under The Tuscan Sun), who both give up their jobs in the big city in favour of the sunny and romantic climes of Provence. 
There, they intend to settle down together in their solid French farmhouse, while Peter writes his novel.

They first arrive in Provence at the end of December, just in time for the new year, but quickly discover that everything is going to be more complicated than they expected.
