Review date: 2008-11-18 Rating: 8 out of 10
A beautiful classic that I remember watching when I was young. My 7 year old was gripped from start to finish and wanted to know if there was a follow up.
The reason I haven't awarded 5* is that the DVD hasn't been re-mastered so is a little grainy. However this didn't impact the delight in watching.

If you're between the ages of 32 and 45 you may well remember this series. I've looked for it on and off for the past few years and was very happy to see it finally released on dvd.
I've almost finished going through the whole of the 4 discs which includes every episode and lots of extras (bargain really) with my 7 yr old son who is loving watching them as much as me.
This is an absolute bargain, a joy, and a must see dvd - i just wish they would show it again on tv so todays kids could see it!
A television series 25 years in the waiting
Review date: 2007-10-11 Rating: 10 out of 10
Only Heaven knows how long I have been waiting (for about a quarter of a century) to have the chance to watch this television series once more, and now, with the blessings of Fabulous Films, my time of waiting is almost over lol. I am a Canadian and I can remember when I watched it on CBC network, and then afterwards, it ran for a while on a pay television network. I have managed to tape them all once back in the early 1980s, but accidentally taped over it a little bit later. Now, some 25 years later, I find out that there is a DVD release of that magic television mini-series. I did not care about the fact that the dvd is a region 2, on the next day I went to an electronic store and got myself a PAL compatible dvd player and PAL compatible television set. That is how badly I needed to see it again once more. I just find it a little bit odd that the Canadian CBC network (whom that program was produced by) did not manage to have a dvd release in Canada. But thanks to Fabulous Films, I will be able to reminisce childhood television memories, rafting down the Mississippi River, looking back more on days that were slower, when living was easy and neighbors were friends...

This is the DVD that I've been waiting for ever since DVD was invented. I grew up with this series in the 1980's and early 1990's, and to watch it again is just a delight. What we have here is 4 DVD's containing each of the 26 episodes in full, complete with Ian Tracey's commentary of what will happen in the next episode, as well as what happened in the previous, just as it was aired. Of course, each has been digitally remastered for DVD, making it an even more enjoyable experience. As a bonus, you have a 30 minute episode ''The making of...'' featuring interviews with four original cast members as well as the producer, which are fascinating.
This compilation has been well worth the wait, does justice to this cult series, and I'd recommend any fans to buy it without hesitation.
Classic adaptation, well presented.

It has been a long time coming, but the DVD is well worth the money and the wait. Complete with extras, like the Making of...., which includes interviews with the producer and cast members, the overall package has been thoughtfully and carefully put together. The accompanying booklet gives an episode guide with pictures, and is a good addition to the product. The production has always been a classic, and thankfully the DVD produced does it justice. Buy it,you wont be disappointed!!
