Anne of Avonlea (1975)
The definitive tv re-creation of Montgomerys famous book
This mini series was without doubt,L.M.Montgomerys story visualised perfectly.Kim Braden beautifully brought Anne to life,in a way I feel no other actress ever has. No offence to all the fans of Megan Fallows,but I never enjoyed her interpretation of Anne,...she didn't bring out all of Annes innocent qualities,and rapturous love for all things living.Nor her dramatic passion. Kim Braden,however,did. Having loved the Green Gables books (and others in the series) from childhood to adulthood,I felt I was truly watching the world of Matthew,Marilla,Anne and Co through the authors eyes,in this perfectly filmed,acted and directed version of the classic childhood book.
To Serve Them All My Days (1980)
Exquisite
Possibly the finest mini series ever produced.John Duttine gave the performance of his life in this series,as did the whole cast. How I wish I could see it again,yet have been unable to obtain it anywhere,and never has it been repeated on the BBC. So caught up in the life of these characters was I,that it has stayed with me,and brings such fond memories of a time gone by. If only all television was THIS good.
