4/5 Faithful to the Trilogy
  by Michele (NY)
Overall I enjoyed this series. Having thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy, I was thrilled to watch a faithful adaptation of those books. The actors seemed right for the characters, and it was exciting to see the scenes come alive, especially the ones with the planes.

Because of the musical score, however, I can not give the full 5 stars. The 'mum, mum' was annoying enough, but most jarring was the loud "I'll sing you a song of Christina", especially the second time they played it. It was during a very tender, emotional moment and was completely wrong for the mood. I managed to ignore/get past the music for the most part, but I know some viewers would be unable to do so.

Also, it was a bit disconcerting the way characters would sometimes look straight at the camera (for example when having flashbacks).

In all fairness to anyone reading this, I had to add the above disclaimers about what I didn't like, not because I don't want people to watch, but with the hope that, if they are warned, they can ignore the flaws and enjoy an otherwise wonderful series.

5/5 Amazing Series!

Flambards is one of those truly amazing series whose story stays with you long after you have finished watching it. The movie follows the life of Christina from her days as a young woman staying at her uncle's house, all the way through marriage and motherhood. The story goes through a few twists, and many times seems to lead in one direction without actually following through the way one would expect it to.

Each episode in the mini-series leaves you wondering how it could get any better.

1/5 NOT CAPTIONED???!!!
  by CS Ellis (Georgia)
AS a bibliophile, Mom loves all things British. I cannot tell you all of the BBC and British movies we have had to return or are stuck with because they are not captioned or subtitled. Flambards was one of her favorites because it was one of the first series we had ever seen that was captioned. 30+ plus years later and some genius decided that since the generation of people who like these movies is getting older, their hearing must be getting better and no longer need movies to be captioned. Or, with the the increase in globalization, it would be better to limit their product to one language by doing away with subtitles.---how to these people get these jobs?

5/5 Flambards

The films were just as great as when I watched them on PBS all those many years ago. Converting them to a DVD format means I can watch them for years to come.
