The second series of this heartwarming BBC hit features more humor, more beautiful scenery and more great moments with BBC stars Richard Briers and Susan Hampshire. Archie MacDonald has finally pledged himself to Glenbogle, but now faces a titanic struggle to make the estate turn a profit. The young laird has visionary plans for his ancient homestead, but faces fresh challenges at every turn from rebellious tenants, local vendettas, scheming gold diggers, not to mention his eccentric family and the three beautiful young women who are all vying for his affection.

5.0 out of 5 stars even better, May 30, 2004

By A Customer

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

The second season of MONARCH is just as good as, if not better, than the first. This is one of those rare series where you care about every single character, so no matter which character is the focus of the episode you are right there rooting for them. Hector is as cantakerous and lovable as ever, and even surprising at one point. Molly is another surprise, as usual, shrewd one minute and air-headed the next. When she is around, you know everything will be all right. Archie, one of the few sane ones in the bunch, struggles and stumbles along, like most of us. The romantic obstacles get to be a bit much between him and his love interest(s). I guess they would have been easier to take once a week than all at once. All the 'supporting players' are strong enough to be the stars of the show, and sometimes they are. And there are some new people added in. I especially like the expansions into the village. It rounds out the story, placing it in a larger context. These are people you would love to know, to be friends with and to revisit over and over, which is why this DVD, along with its first season, is a definite keeper.

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

Monarch of the Glen is a wonderful Drama brought to us by the BBC Scotland and Ecosse Films. It has fun, lighthearted comedy, romance and whimsey. It is appropriate for all ages, races and backgrounds.

This is just the best programme on television, pure blissful escapism. The beautiful scenery and the greatest characters. Drama, romance and comedy in bucketfuls!

Monarch of the Glen is a beautiful programme which manages to combine romance, comedy and drama all before the watershed. It appeals to the whole family and the actors are all fantastic. The storylines are great, with many twists and turns but always ending like a fairytale. The amazing scenery is magical and it really takes away the dreading of monday mornings. It is shown in 44 countries and all boglies (fans of monarch) are now eagerly awaiting series six. It has 50 million viewers worldwide and after watching just one episode you'll see why.
