5.0 out of 5 stars JWoznick, April 9, 2006
By John Woznick "History Buff" (Pittsford, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this production years ago on Masterpiece Theatre and I was fascinated by it then. I thought that the telling of the story of the Engish Civil war through the eyes of a divided family was an extremely effective way of making the history of a complex time come to life. Like our own Civil War the tale seems one of romantic glory at first but becomes ever more grim and real as the war is prosecuted. The story is historically accurate with everything that I have read on the ECW. I have been checking over the months to see when the American format DVD will come out and hope we see it soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars God save the King, January 13, 2006
By Mofizz (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
I really enjoyed this series when it was shown on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS back in tht 80's. It's available in the UK on DVD so it's probably only a matter of time before it's available here in the US. Good acting, engrossing stories, and sometimes more brutal than you'd expect for a prim costume drama.

Would love to be able to see the series again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bring it to DVD here in the states!, April 4, 2006
Anyone who remembers and enjoyed the Masterpiece Theater presentations of the 1970s and 1980s like "Upstairs/Downstairs", "Elizabeth", and "I, Claudius", would also enjoy this mini-series depicting the struggles of 2 families during the English civil war of the 1600's.

Although it's been ages since I've seen this, I never forgot how good it was. I've been looking for this for several years, and I'm glad to see that it's being released for region 2 viewing. Hopefully, there will be enough interest to soon make it available stateside on region 1.

Don't buy this for $200. It's available for around $90 from amazon.co.uk including shipping to the US. The guy offering it for $200 is trying to rip you off!
