good series, acting, writing
A very attractive and engaging miniseries from the late 70's, starring a stunningly handsome young Nigel Havers. It was, perhaps, his first big appearance on screen. He plays a young officer returning from war who buys a faltering estate. The series deals primarily with his new approach to being squire of the land, and how he deals with his tenant farmers and locals differs strongly from the 'old guard' squire down the road. Old vs New. He deals with tragedies, his own and that of his friends and workers. He is always learning, and applies the best of his knowledge -- tempered by his good heart -- to all his decisions. It is funny how, in this series as well as others of the period, the aging of a young actor is always represented by the adding of a mustache to his costume. Colors are typically 'earth tones', so characteristic of TV of the period, but this is a series worth watching. And, certainly, the young Nigel Havers remains one of the most beautiful of all English actors.
