An absolute waste of money

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I first saw this series when it aired on PBS in 1979 or so. My dad and I decided to watch it and my whole family was immediately hooked. I was only 10, and the series had a profound effect on me. My grandmother brought the books back for me from England the following year. In the summer of 1981, I spent a month in England with family. For a surprise, my grandmother took me to the Flambards theme park, which, although a bit of a cliché, had exhibits about WWI, aeroplanes, mock villages and houses. The series is beautifully filmed, with excellent acting and attention to detail. I saw it again in university, and just received the DVD set for Christmas from my brother. I booted my husband out of the living room and had a three-night marathon down memory lane. Seeing it as an adult again gave me a new appreciation for it. Christina's journey is enchanting, and the surrounding cast are excellent. Both my father and grandmother have since passed away, and watching this series again was like meeting old friends, and brought back so many happy family memories. I cannot recommend this series enough. (I have not read the fourth book, and am almost afraid to do so!)

I'd recommend this to anyone, even if you think it's not your kind of entertainment, you will be captivated by the fine script, compelling story and excellent acting.Christine McKenna is particularly good in the lead role and She makes for compulsive viewing.Anyone interested in aviation should make note of the superb flying machines and sequences.Obviously Horses and Country Life play the biggest part of the whole mini series.In short an excellent mini-series and fun for all ages.EnjoySteve

my mom suggested that i might like this show, it had horses and was set in england. i was about 14 or so. and i loved it. but we moved to a place where our PBS reception was terrible (no cable). but every time it came on, i would try to watch it thru the bad reception. it was a happy day for me when i found it for sale.i find the ending so poignant...mark's thoughts about finally growing up and dick's conversation with christina about inheriting the earth. so much that was lost during WWI, and the hope for the future.a wonderful coming of age and growing up into adulthood story.

Foggy, early morning English countryside, fox hunting, turn-of-the-century barnstorming..this mini-series is a big surprise. Beautiful, languorous, and romantic. I haven't enjoyed anything so much in a long time. Does anybody know whatever happened to Alan Parnaby? He is so outstanding in this mini-series I'm floored that so little has been seen of him since. If anyone can solve the mystery...please post your news here...
