Excellent, highly recommend! January 6, 2009
I'd seen the first two season's before I ordered this box set and adore this quarky collection of characters. This is BBC drama (non-period piece) at its best. As I've let friends borrow parts of this collection, I continue to be surprised by the diversity of people that end up loving this show. If you enjoy the beautiful Scottish Highlands, you'll really enjoy this show, much of it is shoot outside.
Good value for one of our favorite TV Series January 6, 2009
This item arrived in a timely manner and was purchased for a fair price.
Thank you.
Archie and the gang January 6, 2009
For years my mother, sister, and I faithfully followed this program until we could no longer find it on our local tv stations. I'm thrilled to be able to piece together the episodes I saw and finally see everything in order. I love the scenery, the acting, and the actors themselves. What's not to love?
A MODERN CLASSIC; PERHAPS THE BEST BBC SHOW EVER December 27, 2008
This complete collection offers 64 episodes of the best writing, fantastic stars, & the most beautiful scenic country imaginable. It's all in a small package of "ONLY" 18 DVDs. Why only? After 58 hours of feature followed by great bonus material, you will want MORE. Do the math. Cost divided by length, it's the best bargain for peak perfection of British Drama/Comedy available.
Archie, the inheriting Laird, decides to save the Glenbogle estate. Throughout the 7 years of episodes (you'll be glad you now don't have to wait a week between episodes), he finds help and enemies aplenty. He finds anguish and love. Some of the stars will die within the script, others will move on, and new characters will replace the void. It is never static, never boring, always lush for the eyes, and filled throughout will drama, laughs, and the feeling that you have been accepted into this MacDonald family of the Highlands.
Golly MacDonald (Alexander Morton) is the gillie, and the anchor to Glenbogle land. He remains through all 7 years of production. Susan Hampshire (Lady Glencora in "The Pallisers"; also in "The Grand") plays Molly, wife of the original Laird, Hector. She also lives with the program from beginning to end. She is dynamic. She is the queen of Glenbogle. Her costumes go from riches to rags depending upon her activity, but is always powerful and lovely.
Duncan and Lexie are two of the estate's hired help that become huge in the story as well as delightful characters played so well that they sometimes upstage even the scenery. Due to their performances, certain episodes were written around their character, and Lexie eventually _____________ even. There are other important characters that are removed from the story and you wonder how the series will survive without them. But it does, and seems to better itself with the aging process, like all good Scotch.
This DVD set is an investment, one you'll never regret, even after the second and third viewing. This seduction of cinematography was based upon Highland novels by Compton MacKenzie. And it is Alastair Mackenzie (Archie) that leads the cast during the first five years of glorious fame. It is British family television at its finest. Scotland at it's most beautiful. Acting to perfection. Fun as a Celtic pub visit. As magical as a wee fairy dance. 6 stars if it were possible.
Funny family show December 7, 2008
Sit back and relax as you watch the antics of a family in turmoil. This is a really enjoyable series, even as they move through some difficult cast changes they keep the stories light and grounded in the estate they all love. You will fall in love with this quirky group of family and staff and of course the amazing landscape surrounding Glenbogle.
