  • name this show?

    Does anyone remember a UK television mini series that was about a mystery involving a man remembering staying in an old mansion house as a student in the late 70's, with 3 or 4 friends, two young women and another young man who was always drunk and one day going to be a doctor. Another young woman, short hair and a bit strange who possibly arrives after the main group and with a baby. It's a stolen baby who the mysterious young woman was a nanny too and took because she lost or forcibly had her own baby taken from her after it's birth. The story is told in flash backs after the remains of a young woman and baby are found in a shallow grave on the grounds of the house many years later and involves who the body of the young woman is and who killed and buried her and whose child was buried carefully with her. It gradually uncovers a mystery that is seen through the eyes of the character having the flash backs after seeing the news about the skeletal remains being unearthed. I remember a man and a lake on the grounds with Coypu in it and one of the young women yelling at the the man to leave them alone as he had the unfortunate job of controlling their numbers, they jokingly called him the coypu man. This is not a major scene but I added it to help jog any memories about this show. It was on a while back maybe as far back as the late 80's. If anyone remembers it please let me know what it's called. I can't remember the names of any of the actors I was much younger at the time it was first shown.

          Yes me too, shame it's only the final episode and not all 3 not sure why some people post only bits of things rather than the whole thing in full it gives you a frustrating snippet while tempting you to want to see more. I would like to see it again but don'really want to spend money to do it. Maybe the rest of it will eventually get posted on you tube in full one day. At least I now know what it's called so won't have trouble locating it when it does show up in full. Thanks for replying anyway.
