Quincy's Quest

I first watched this aged 7 in black and white and cried. The next time I saw it was in colour and I cried even more lol. Heartbroken that I can't share it with my children and grandchildren

I totally LOVE this story. Tommy Steele has a wonderful bright personality, and this role really showcases it. I love the songs in this, especially the one sung by the "perfect" dolls, and the stage number hosted by the ventriloquist dummy.

I also love the way that the various elements of the story really balance each other out. The comedy isn't too wacky, the romantic angle isn't TOO sappy, the action and adventure is balanced by the warmth and humour.

This is really top class fantasy storytelling for the child in all of us. I just wish there were more TV specials in this class.

When my daughter was small we watched Quinceys Quest on television and she absolutely loved it. Every year she would ask if it would be on again but it never was.It was a lovely children's film for Christmas and I can't understand why it has never been repeated. I have kept trying to find it, either to buy or rent but have had no success. I have even tried to get in touch with Tommy Steele but have had no luck. Now that he is going to appear at the Palladium this Christmas in Scrooge I am going to try to contact him there to see if he can help. There is such a lot of rubbish on the television these days I am sure there are a lot of parents who would love to see a real family film like Quincys Quest repeated on the television.

I seen this Christmas 1979 never seen it again should be with the great classics

This is one of the best christmas films i have seen, my mother and myself hope each year for it to come on the TV. I would love to get it if anyone knows where i could buy it i would love to know. Please put it on again, Where is Tommy Steele these days any way???
