What happens

The Love School (broadcast in the U.S. as The Brotherhood) is a BBC television drama series originally broadcast in 1975 about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, written by John Hale, Ray Lawler, Robin Chapman and John Prebble. It was directed by Piers Haggard, John Glenister and Robert Knights. It was shown during January and February 1975. It includes six episodes, each episode is 75 minutes in length. The drama was a significant influence on the subsequent 2009 series Desperate Romantics. It was also the basis of the historical novel of the same name by Hale. Until a few years ago, it appeared never to have been released on DVD anywhere in the world despite fans calling for such a release on IMDb and elsewhere. However, on 8 April 2019, the DVD of all six episodes was released thanks to the efforts of the team at Simply Media TV. The DVD consists of 2 discs in PAL format for region 2, with a total run time of 450 minutes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
