To me, this movie is perfection.

Strictly average movie

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I first saw a few episodes of this miniseries around 1980 and loved it! I've been trying to find it for the past 10 years or so but no one had ever heard of it. It didn't help that I remembered the title incorrectly. I'm so glad to finally find it and other people who appreciate how wonderful it was. I grew up in a quasi-urban American suburb so escaping to the beautiful country scenes in a different time were a welcome escape. It also taught me at a young age that even people in beautiful homes have problems. My absolute favorite characters were William & Christina.I'm off to find a VHS or DVD copy! I never got to see the end so I can't wait to see how everything turned out.

I first saw these programmes in 79 when I was 11 years old, I absolutely loved it. I've recently bought the series on DVD, and couldn't wait to get some time to myself to watch each episode. I cant get it out of my head! The story, the music, it's all just wonderful. It's not long since I finished the whole series, and I've already started watching them all again. The locations and costumes were spot on for that period. Looking out now for Alan Parnabys more recent work, he was so good as William Russell I've fallen in love with him all over again! Would love to know more about the actors, where they're from, where they are now, their ages etc. There have been many TV series and films that I've seen over the years, but nothing has got to me quite like Flambards!!

I got this video series since I was researching life in the Victorian era. I like Christina and the cast of actors and actresses like Peter Copley. I don't recognize most of them unless I see their names here. It's the story of an orphaned girl moving to the Flambards where they have horses. Christina McKenna is wonderful as Christine. The cast of characters includes the Lord of the Manor and servants who remind you of life on the manor and estate. The Lord of the Manor is a reviled, unhappy creature. It's Christina who tries hard to help bridge the gaps between rich and poor, upper and lower classes. The art direction is quite sufficient and the cast is quite good at acting and the writing is adequate at best.

"Flambards" gets virtually everything right; characters that we truly care about, great acting, wonderful music, and a story with twists and turns, skillfully told. But what is does better than anything is truly conjure up the spirit of Edwardian England.The period around 1910 was one of the great watersheds in history; airplanes, cars, and gramophones heralded a new age, only to have World War One stop everything in its tracks. "Flambards" captures all of this perfectly; the resentment of the old guard, the thrill of the new possibilities (especially for women), and the despair of the war years. Of all of the things about this series, the mood and atmosphere are the best.As an aside, speaking as an airplane buff, the airplanes are incredible. They are painstakingly accurate reproductions of real types, and it's wonderful to get a chance to actually see in the air types that you've only read about in books.This is a virtually perfect mini-series, quite possibly the best of its kind ever made. It's that good.
