Luke's Kingdom

I've always wondered why I never saw repeats of this fantastic series on the TV - but apart from when I first saw it as a teenager - I never saw it again on the TV. Some series' get repeated over and over again & aren't that great - this one was great but never got repeated - god knows why not.

I couldn't remember the name of this series, but it has been in my mind off and on over the years. Today a film was on the TV starring Oliver Tobias - I recognised him, looked up the film on the web, found out the name of the actor Oliver Tobias who I'd forgotten, and bingo I'm able to find the name of this series. I'm so happy. Only task now is to find a way to watch it - maybe it's on Youtube...

Back in 1976 I was 15 years old. When Lukes Kingdom came to Australian television I became a couch potato. (smile). Oliver Tobias stole my homework hours and my heart. A wonderfully old world series depicting everyday life in early times. I remember it to be a wonderful mini series which seemed to reel me in hook, line and sinker. Was it Oliver Tobias's breathtakingly good looks that influenced my bias judgement? This series is similar to the likes of Upstairs Downstairs which I also enjoyed tremendously. I only wish I could buy the series "Lukes Kingdom" in some form. OH the memories of television. Thank you IMDB for bringing them back.
