Seven little Australians was a television series produced in 1974 by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC). It was based on the book by Ethel Turner. Watching it again brings back many childhood memories (we used to watch it together as a family) when ABC would keep re-running it. It was that popular.

Leonard Teale plays the father of a young family in the late 1890s. After his wife dies, he eventually marries a much younger woman (played beautifully by Elizabeth Alexander). The eldest daughter Judy, presents much stress to the father and is sent off to boarding school. Judy plays a key role in the series and along with her siblings, brings Ethel Turner's vision to life. The series was an international hit.

This DVD release should be avoided as they have left off the last two episodes. How this happened is anyone's guess. My recommendation is that people purchase the ABC edition which is complete, and also includes some interesting special features (eg. an on location documentary from 1974).

I enjoyed watching the series again, and it was the first time I had seen it in colour. That in itself was a pleasure.

this was a wonderful mini-series totally ruined by the company who released the video don't be fooled it's not a complete mini-series at all it suddenly just stops dead and your left having to read the book to find out how it all ends ...don't bother buying it

it's a rip-off

I welcome any comments anybody else out there might have

My 9 and 10 year old daughters LOVED this mini-series! The main problem is that it isn't complete. The last two series are not included, so you are left hanging. I'm on the hunt for the book.

After having viewed the two video collection of "The Seven Little Australians" we are totally hooked! We were hoping that there were more installments in the collection. We will certainly be checking out the book collection!

My family has just viewed "The Seven Little Australians" and we are totally hooked! We were hoping that there were more videos available. We totally loved the two video collection and no doubt will now check out the books!

I concur with the person who said Questar ruined this lovely old mini series that I watched when I was a child, I bought it recently not realising that the end episodes where missing and was exceedingly dissapointed by it, I watched it the day I received it and therefore disrupted other peoples viewing because I was so enthralled and wished to continue to the end, therefore I was and am very upset. Although it was nice to see something that was a childhood favourite of mine, it was a bitter sweet experience for lack of ending!!!!

i wish i could rate this trash ZERO stars. I hope you believe me, but don't BUY THIS JUNK OF A MOVIE!!!!

The book is all about the 7 sisters and brothers. They all close and love one another. Whenthey father want Judy to go outside the city to study there and Captain Wooolcot allowe but thier sister and brothers dont want to. Their step mother , esther become thier nanny cause there mother died. The children doest much like her.
