What happens

Les Misérables is a 1967 television series of 10 episodes each of 25 minutes produced by BBC Television and broadcast on 22 October 1967. The cast included Frank Finlay as Jean Valjean and Michael Napier Brown as the barber. The film series was produced in colour, with mono sound, though there were few colour TV sets available at the time in the UK. Although the original master videotapes were wiped, 35mm film copies of the series survived the BBC's archival purge and it was released by Simply Media onto DVD in 2019. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
