The Pursuit of Love is the new BBC1 period drama, adapted from Nancy Mitford's 1945 novel of the same name. Here is how to watch The Pursuit of Love online anywhere in the world.
The Pursuit of love is a star-studded series, set in the 1920s and 1930s, following the lives of spirited Linda Radlett (Lily James) and her more reserved cousin and best friend Fanny Logan (Emily Beecham) as they search for their perfect love match.
Linda is a hopless romantic, dreaming of finding the man if her dreams to sweep her off her feet in a whirlwind of love and adventure.
Meanwhile Fanny is searching for stability after being abandoned by her elusive mother, 'The Bolter' as a baby. But while this might be a story of finding love and coming of age, the core is the girls' friendship and compete dependence on one another from childhood right through to adulthood.
