A fine television series comes to a rich and entertaining conclusion in Monarch of the Glen: The Complete Series 7. Rarely has a TV show survived so many original cast departures and changes of focus to land on its feet with the grace of Monarch. With its final episodes putting a strong accent on a variety of overlapping love stories, it’s impossible not to be moved by the program’s strong emotions, especially a lovely series finale that includes an unexpected reappearance by one of Monarch’s most beloved characters. Lloyd Owen triumphs, finally, as the series’ leading man, Paul Bowman-MacDonald, the illegitimate son of the late Hector MacDonald (Richard Briers) and rightful Laird of Glenbogle castle and estate (in Series Five). Faced with Glenbogle’s usual financial problems, Paul soldiers on, trying to keep the peace with restless tenants--who choose a spirited lass, Iona (Kirsty Mitchell) to be their new representative--while pumping ever more energy and resources into establishing Glenbogle as a destination site for tourists. Meanwhile, stoic Golly (Alexander Morton) comes to terms with raising an infant son alone, while his grown daughter, Jessica (Rae Hendrie), tries to find her place as her father’s assistant and possible future wife of the oft-absent Duncan (Hamish Clark). Young Ewan (Martin Compston) has eyes for Paul’s goddaughter, Amy (Kellyanne Farquhar), while Molly (Susan Hampshire) struggles with cash shortages, the excesses of brother-in-law Donald (Tom Baker), and the possibility of new love. Happily, friendly Kilwillie (Julian Fellowes) returns, more enamored with Molly than ever, while Paul himself falls for Iona--just when a prior suitor turns up to claim her as a wife. It’s the usual confusion at Glenbogle, but the collective MacDonald heart is strong. Special features include a very nice documentary about the entire series, with a lot of input from so-called "Boglies," fans of all things Glenbogle. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Finale, November 5, 2007

This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series 7 (DVD)

There is an arc to all series, with a point somewhere in the middle being considered the apex. So while series 7 isn't the classic era of Monarch of the Glen it nevertheless has some great stories, quite a few endearing moments, and great acting. There are few missteps here, the primary one being Duncan's unbelievable return. I really enjoyed the Duncan McKay character but it seemed improbable that a gilly would take off for the big city to be a DJ, so perhaps that story line was destined to fall flat. However, most of the other story lines reach a satisfying conclusion.

I'll miss the folks at Glen Bogle quite a bit (including Duncan), but it was nice to have a satisfying farewell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying conclusion, December 31, 2007

This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series 7 (DVD)

We fell in love with Monarch of the Glen when, by chance, we discovered the series at our public library. We were hooked! We couldn't wait for the final season's DVDs to be released. Although it only includes six episodes, Series 7 is full of surprises and the usual fun. I won't give any of that away...I'll just say that our whole family found it to wrap up with a satisfying conclusion. We're sorry to say farewell to the delightful cast of characters and all that lovely Scottish scenery.
If you haven't dipped into any of the Monarch of the Glen series yet, start from Series 1, gather the whole family on the couch and settle in to many hours of guaranteed entertainment--an overall feast for the eyes and the heart.

This review is from: Monarch of the Glen - Series 7 (DVD)

While it was sad to see the series end, I mostly enjoyed the last season. I only wish Duncan McKay, (played by Hamish) had been more involved. It was good to see Hector MacDonald, (played by Richard Briers) again, and it was a clever re-introduction. I only wish Alistair Mackenzie, (Archie), and Dawn Steele, (Lexie) had been available for one last hurrah, (so to speak.) There was a bittersweet ending that will be memorable for all Monarch viewers, I wish that the ends had been tied together a little better. I guess time and finances just didn't permit. All in all, if you've become a fan of Monarch, you won't feel right unless you pick up this last offering. It still has all of the things we've grown to love about this series, the awesome filming of the Scottish Highlands, the great characters, and the actors who portray them, and the quality we not only expect, but demand. It's worth the money.
