Rating:  - Beautiful engaging series, but DVD quality is poor
I was very disappointed in the quality of this series on DVD. The picture was very grainy and the sound was uneven. When you are used to top-quality DVDs with a sharp picture and rich colors, this is quite a letdown, and very distracting.

The heroine of that story eventually restores the farm through her own aggressiveness and resilience. This DVD of the BBC's 1978 adaptation of "The Flambards" is no spoof; ... Read More
Rating: - Five Tapes out of Six
This a is a fine series, set in that interesting period of British history when aeroplanes, cars, and horses shared the same stage.
The first two episodes are, perhaps, a tad slow, and the theme music is somewhat surreal and unsettling. That said, the production as a whole is rewarding.
I would have given this five stars but for the faulty manufacture of Tape 6. The BFS 6-tape version (discussed here) is defective and the final episode (Inheritance) is missing. I wrote to the Canadian ... Read More
