Of course, anyone who has seen this series (or the movie that preceded it) feels that anything short of 'wonderful, marvelous, brilliant' doesn't need to be said.
This version of Wind In The Willows is indeed superb. All the way around, it is perfectly done.
This version perfectly captures the subtlety of life that Rat and Mole enjoy, and the wrecklessness that is Toad.
Most American versions have opted to focus on Toad altogether, reducing the other three to supporting characters.
The quite country life that is disrupted by Toad's motorcar is truly one of the main reasons I do enjoy this program. How can something so tranquil hold your undivided attention so well? And undeniably, the peacefulness of the theme music (with and without the singer) are effective as well.
I'm watching the movie as I write this, but the movie is just as good as the TV show.
Ten stars, all the way around.
Absolutely elegant.
When I watch stuff like this, I think of Clive Dunn and the other old gentleman from "Dad's Army" and think this must have been their life.
How utterly majestic it all must have been.
