Christabel is a four-part British drama series first shown on BBC2 between 16 November and 7 December 1988.[1]
It is based on the memoirs of Christabel Bielenberg, an English woman married to a German lawyer during World War II. The screenplay was written by Dennis Potter, and was directed by Adrian Shergold. Each episode runs around 65 minutes. It stars Elizabeth Hurley in one of her earliest leading roles.
Part of the series was filmed at the disused Camperdown Works jute mill complex in Dundee, which doubled for 1940s Berlin.[2] Other scenes were filmed in Hungary and Austria.
