carolmunroe-96924 I am glued to the television every day I so look forward to watching this programme then I find out it is just going to end why oh why end such a fab series, its far better than neighbours and home and away and they have been going years why is when a brilliant programme is launched they go ahead and spoil it by cutting it short very disappointed by this

twoerrors-33001 I live in Toronto, Canada and subscribe to PBS in Buffalo, NY. One of their programs that I greatly enjoy is A Place to Call Home that started in spring. It is refreshing, has great characters and interesting development of story lines. Taking place in the 1950s, it doesn't shy away from the issues of the time. I've only ever watched one other Australian TV show and I have to say that the quality of the two shows I've seen makes me want for more. But, if other reviews are correct, this show has recently been cancelled - a huge disappointment. Whoever is responsible "Down Under" for this show, please do it justice by ending it with the class you gave it life with. Give it the proper series finale it deserves.

marilynnmichaels Our national broadcaster is showing "A Place to Call Home", and I thought it would be interesting to see what Australian TV looks like. My first impression was not favourable, but I thought I should hold off until I'd seen more. I've now seen all the episodes and my first impressions still stand.The two leads, Sara and George are the two LEAST interesting characters in this show. They are played by two actors who have little or no range, and at best are wooden and slightly less wooden. The much more interesting people are the supporting cast: the matriarch Elizabeth Bligh, her daughter Caroline, or Caroline's love interest Jack. Even Elizabeth's grandson and his wife, Olivia,have more depth and are far more interesting.While I did not expect Downton Abbey, I did think the budget for hair and wardrobe on APTCH depressingly scant. Sara looks and dresses like a nun, and is put in odd dresses like a bright orange cocktail dress with a black tam that makes me think of trick=or-treat! It looked so depressingly odd - I find it hard to believe that anyone finds her attractive.

lizroy51 We are getting to what I assume is the end of the series and the closer it approaches, the more concerned I am getting because it seems, if the show has been axed, as someone reported, then at least there should be some form of closure for all the characters.My husband and I have been completely drawn in by this show. (We live on the West Coast of Canada.) For me, the development of the character or, as I should say, the revelation of the character of Elizabeth Bligh, has been fascinating. After watching her interaction with Sarah, I turned to my husband and said,'She should be getting an Academy Award for this one'. Well, every episode is well done.A few complaints with regard to casting. George Bligh's character seems to have little chemistry with Sarah. We thought that perhaps Brett Climo might be a better George for her in strength and chemistry because one wonders how Nurse Adams could be drawn to one so weak in the first place and he seems even lacking in the charm department. I understand that Dusseldorp is married in real life to the character Rene but little there also. Regina, too, is a bit one-dimensional, so much like Sleeping Beauty's stepmother in her machinating evil ways. But all in all a captivating period piece and always enough to keep a critical audience looking forward to the next episode at Ash Park.Sarah's relationship with Roy makes one feel that Sarah is truly home in his place. Their interaction, down to earth affection seems to be the core of the show. And Doris Collins, the nosey busybody everyone tries to avoid unless they have an agenda, has become a humanized and caring individual, which is gratifying.The show deals a lot with many prejudices of the time and even though I cringe with regards to 'Commies, 'queer's and abortionists as well as a woman's place in the home, these issues need to be addressed and this show addresses them without any whitewashing. I am glad I am a baby boomer and alive to see so much change though sadly, still a long way to go. But A Place to Call Home shows us, even from Australia, where we came from, how the two wars affected everyone so deeply and how the struggle to enact change often falls to women of strength and compassion.Please bring this show back or if the actors are unable, perhaps a two-hour special as someone already suggested to give we, the hungry audience, a gratifying sense of closure.
