Just straight up boring. I had to watch this in a cours of a lot of days, its bad. Cannot say anything else about this. Dont watch this please. I know its old but still godfather was a good movie, this is not.

This enchanting and often beautiful Granada TV Drama from '81 is one of the best and moving British drama TV series of all time. Possibly Terence Hardiman at his best too. Very well made with the old period setting telling the journey of a young girl reacquainted with her estranged Father and the whole new life that opens up. This really needs to be and must be released on DVD! Beautiful music score too. Surely ITV DVD can release it?

It may have been made in 1981 but the story is so real and the acting quite brilliant. Yes, the storyline is simple but it is brilliantly told with superb music to go with it.

It knocks spots off much of todays dramas. My wife said that it did not need graphic sex or bad language to get its very real life issues in one's face and only wish that more of this type drama was made.

For Anna Blake with such a deadpan face to get one totally engaged with her character, took a superb piece of acting while the rest of the cast also excelled.

How anyone could call this series boring is beyond me. It is a must see for anyone who appreciates good movie making. SEE IT.
