Yes I remember these - based on the book of short stories of the same name by Thomas Hardy. I think they were shown in the mid 70's and I understand "The Withered Arm" was reshown in the 90's.

They were excellent - true to the original stories. I'd love to get a copy of this series. Which episode are you waiting for?
