Richard Carpenter Rules OK
Review date: 2009-11-03 Rating: 10 out of 10
No, not the musical Brother of the Carpenters duo, but the English Director (although the former is also very talented). Richard Carpenter had a knack of making great TV programmes for children that could also be watched by adults. 'Catweazle' is the first that I'm aware of, then of course came 'The Ghosts Of Motley Hall' and then 'Robin of Sherwood'. It just got better every time. This was a fabulous series and watching it again like my other fellow-60s babies brought back all those memories of what a great TV show could be. I don't know who my favourite character is - they're all great, though Bodkins and The White Lady do rank very highly. As other commentators have noted, this was a period when you didn't need violence in children's TV programmes and yet they could still be entertaining.
Last "live" episode
Review date: 2009-06-10 Rating: 8 out of 10
This of course is brilliant stuff, but I seem to remember a "final" episode which may have been done "live", where all but the stable boy are exorcised, leaving my younger self with a deep feeling of melancholy, for the first time, about the whole series. So Complete? Possibly,but if you feel that the final episode leaves things hanging you might be right...
SO glad i found this dvd!

I'm so glad I found this DVD, and all 3 seasons together in the one set! I loved this show as a 13 year old watching it on the ABC in Australia. So many times you revisit a show that you loved as a kid but you find it's nowhere near as good as you remembered, but not so with Motley Hall - the lines are still funny and the acting is still great. I hope to visit the real Motley Hall (Borwick Castle) one day, I love the show that much! I hope when my toddler is a bit older she'll enjoy this DVD as much as I do.
wonderfull

I first saw this program when I was 14 and loved it. I've now sat down to watch this with my own 14 year old, and he and all his friends love the Ghosts as much as I do. My other children of 12,8 and 4 all sit and laugh at the Ghosts because it has not dated one little bit. I just wish there had been more made.
