tfn65125 I saw this series when it first came out in the UK and it left a big impression on me then. Thank goodness for the advent of DVD which seems to have breathed life back into so many gems such as this, which might otherwise have been forgotten. The characters are fascinating, it is difficult to make a final judgement on some of them. The historical period wrapped around the First World War is a fascinating one, so much change and in some ways 'the end of innocence' (discuss!). The sets are great, the acting wonderful (what happened to their careers??), you feel like you're there. It's feel-good at times, bitter-sweet at others. If you treat yourself to the DVD you'll feel that you've made a real discovery. And the music, hauntingly beautiful....
lauracooke5 i first watched Flambards in 2001 when my mum bought it on video. i thought it was great but as i was only 11, didn't quite understand all of it, i watched it again this week and got instantly addicted to it! it had me laughing, crying and marvelling and how much times have changed! also i immediately thought Mark Russell absolutely gorgeous!!! i also took a liking to Dick Wright. I think in all, they are all fantastic actors and know how to work a character! Second time round i understood it and i was moved greatly by it. Anyone, all ages should watch Flambards!!! i also cant stop whistling the theme tune.... very catchy!!! Flambards is brilliant!
spitfire-4 "Flambards" gets virtually everything right; characters that we truly care about, great acting, wonderful music, and a story with twists and turns, skillfully told. But what is does better than anything is truly conjure up the spirit of Edwardian England.The period around 1910 was one of the great watersheds in history; airplanes, cars, and gramophones heralded a new age, only to have World War One stop everything in its tracks. "Flambards" captures all of this perfectly; the resentment of the old guard, the thrill of the new possibilities (especially for women), and the despair of the war years. Of all of the things about this series, the mood and atmosphere are the best.As an aside, speaking as an airplane buff, the airplanes are incredible. They are painstakingly accurate reproductions of real types, and it's wonderful to get a chance to actually see in the air types that you've only read about in books.This is a virtually perfect mini-series, quite possibly the best of its kind ever made. It's that good.
PeterPos This is a wonderful series, beautifully photographed and sensitively acted. I regularly re-watch and never tire of it. There are moments in the story which never fail to move me to tears. It is a continuing source of perplexity to me that the young leads, Christina McKenna, Steven Grives, Sebastian Abineri, Peter Settelen and -- above all -- the strikingly talented Alan Parnaby, never became big stars.
