  • Wonderfully acted, quintessential Indo British drama.

    Possibly the best historical drama the UK has produced. Has lasting appeal, despite the terrible nature of the Raj and it's terrible oppression of the Indian peoples and the atrocity that was partition. This version is very well enhanced considering the quality of the original broadcast and previous DVD releases. Highly recommended.

  • Tremendous cast, beautifully acted, it will never fade from being the best series the British have ever done.

    This boxed set is best kept for a day when one is free, I don't think its possible to watch just one episode, I watched from beginning to end with out pausing. Beautifully acted, good version of the history of that time.

  • Drama set in a fictional town in British controlled India in the 1940's

    Bought this DVD set for my 90 year old Mum, after a family WhatsApp discussion one weekend, who viewed it originally in the 1980's. Mum's looking forward to watch all episodes again whilst she's in lockdown.
