5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant story and Colin Friels is magnificent so young, March 8, 2005
I saw this on TV, here in Australia a long time ago and only recently again on Pay TV and have straight away placed it in my shopping cart. It is the magnificent story of an Englishman who after learning he is the barstard son of another man is disinherited. He is then falsely accused of the murder of his true father and the theft of a watch and sent to a Penal colony in Van Diemen's Land (Now Tasmania) for the term of his natural life. It shows his struggle for freedom against the tyranny of British rule and countless altercations with other prisoners and a particular Prison officer. He saves the life of the Commandents daughter, but is tricked and sent back to prison. He strives for freedom and a possible return to England so he can reunite with his mother. It is a long program over 5hrs, possibly best watched over a couple of nights. Though if you're like me won't be able to turn it off.

5.0 out of 5 stars up with the best, December 2, 2006

Colin Friels is probably less known or acclaimed internationally than his wife Judy Davis. His effort in this miniseries though early in his career should have him right up there equally recognized. A great story and a miniseries collectable.

5.0 out of 5 stars great adaptation, March 29, 2007
Great job. Anyone who read the book would know there is no way to do the whole thing on screen, but what a terrific job they did. I think even a novice would still understand the movie without the insider knowledge left out from the book.
