I remember watching this series as a schoolkid, I loved it then. At the time it was a current drama about an idyllic village life which most people could only dream of. 40 years later it is now a period drama of a time long since disappeared and that just makes it even better. TV can be a great escape from present troubles and this series does it better than most.
The stories are excellent, the show is well made (especially considering it's age) and the cast are outstanding. Wonderful performances from Diane Keen, Jack Douglas, Linda Hayden and Robin Nedwell. Bernard Cribbins' two appearances are also memorable. I'm so pleased that this feel good series is available on DVD at a bargain price.
