"Brat Farrar"! Loved that back in the 80s. I found it on YT recently, and got to watch it all over again. A good adaptation of a good book. Never repeated, never released commercially, despite popular and critical success at the time, so hardly anybody remembers it now. Funny how that can sometimes happen.

That's where I found it, too, but the channel I found only had the first couple of episodes and I couldn't find the rest anywhere. (Which was annoying, among other reasons, because it meant I never quite got to see how they managed the scenes with two different versions of Mark Greenstreet in.) So I re-read the book instead.

I see why I didn't find it - not creative enough with the search terms. Thank you very much!
