A fantastic book adapted for TV. The cast are superb, they draw you in through the good and bad of life on the brink of poverty. Through it all the one thing that keeps them moving forward is love, friendship and family. A lot of the cast have passed on now and Anne Phelan gives the performance of her career. I honestly never wanted it to end and it doesn't have to as a 2nd series was made called Poor Mans Orange.

So do yourself a favour and let Harp in the South transport you to another time. I bought this for my Granny 35 years ago and would watch it annually. Every time I watch it now I think of her.

Great miniseries. But the movie with uncle Remus had better songs in it
