Really good
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I got this for my Mum for Christmas and watched it to make sure there were no problems with the disc, then completed the series and did the same! They don't make dramas like this anymore and for anyone who liked Poldark, this should be right up your street. The central character is a woman with ambition and drive in a time where a woman was a wife and mother. Its just different from the violent or sex driven shows that tend to fill the tv schedule now.
I have not had the chance to watch this DVD as yet, but i bought it because i remember the original series on BBC1, many years ago. Enjoyed the acting, and the storyline in all the episodes. Many of the actors are still 'treading' the boards, such as Gemma Jones. Sadly, one of the stars, Christopher Casenove, passed away only yesterday. Young too.
I was delighted with my purchase and watched these dvds while on holiday in the evenings. I purchased these as i enjoyed the series in the 70s . I thought the quality was excellent and will be looking for some more series . These dvds were all about the life of a lady who was a cook who eventually became a hotel keeper .It was about her life and included the end of the reign of Queen Victorias right up to the end of the First World War . An hisrorical drama.
