OK, so I've heard all these negative reviews on this series, and all I have to say is: I COMPLETELY DISAGREE ! Everyone talking about how tacky and unconvincing the acting is. I mean for Christ's sake, it's fictional fantasy; it's supposed to be cheesy + kitsch ! That's a major part of the appeal ! Likewise, are people actually trying to tell me that Excalibur, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal + other fantasy productions are NOT of a cheesy, kitschy style ?? Either way, you'd hardly take something as basically naff as fictional fantasy seriously would yer !

Anyway, a few days ago I had spontaneous memories of watching this on TV back in 1991/2. (Don't know why I hadn't thought about it in so many years; guess it strongly suggests the 'Disposable' nature of TV broadcasting !) I watched it on Youtube later that day for the 1st time in 26 years ! For me it was naturally a quite magical, evocative nostalgia trip. I distinctly remember certain scenes; the poisonous fruit, the erecting of 'Stone Henge' (?) and the glowing vision of the acrobatic warrior + the bull. The scenery is quite refined and extravagant; shot in Wales I believe.

I do consider this a good quality show (for fantasy, obviously !) and a significant production to rank alongside other Fantasy productions from the same era; BBC Narnia, Jim Henson's The storyteller, Willow, Neverending Story, etc. Just ignore the negative reviews; if you like this era of fantasy then watch this !
