It holds up really well, great show.
This was one of my favourites shows as a young teenager, and thanks to Britbox, I've been able to enjoy it years later.
The Books are great, and these adaptations are hard to fault, they bring the characters and story to life, the acting is a little hit and miss at times you could argue, but the kids are only young. The main role, however, was made for Terrence Hardiman, he's incredibly good as The Demonic villain of the piece. His eyes, demeanour and general presence are all so wonderfully menacing.
Don't be overly critical of the sets or special effects, they are dated, and look very basic, but at the time, they would have looked fine.
This along with Century Falls, surely the kind of drama that kids need to see? I think so.
Great 8/10.
