The trouble is that these are two scenes, a cause and effect and sadly there is no real exploration of it. What I mean, and without trying to give too much away, early on Judith has to deal with a lecherous older man who tries it on, later on and having grown up a little she finds herself struggling when Edward Carey-Lewis first tries to touch her as they become romantically involved, recoiling from it. But I would imagine at the same time that those who have read and enjoyed Pilcher's novel might be a little disappointed by the lack of depth in this dramatization as it feels like everything is on the surface with nothing behind it. I say the second because I would imagine that those who enjoyed the goings on in 'Downton Abbey' would probably also enjoy the goings on in this with it look at the lives and loves of Judith and Loveday as they live in the impressive Nancherrow and deal with the emotion of losing loved ones during the war. I wonder how those who read Rosamunde Pilcher's novel from which 'Coming Home' is adapted feel about this TV mini-series/ TV movie? At the same time I also wonder what the fans of 'Downton Abbey' feel about it.

And even once the war is over it seems that heartbreak is not over for both Judith and Loveday.

When tragedy strikes the Carey-Lewis take Judith in and together they deal with the loves and losses as Britain enters the war. It is at the boarding school that Judith meets Loveday Carey-Lewis (Poppy Gaye, Katie Ryder Richardson) whose wealthy family live in Nancherrow, an impressive house in the middle of its own estate. It's the autumn of 1936 and with her parents working in Singapore young Judith Dubar (Keira Knightley, Emily Mortimer) finds herself at a boarding school in Cornwall near to where her aunt Louise (Penelope Keith) lives.
