    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I first watched this twenty odd years back when I was thirteen and it has stayed with me since. I've eagerly kept me eye out for repeats or video/DVD release and finally my patience has paid off.

    Unbelievably it is even better than I remember it and, being at a different stage in life, I relate to it in a different way. It is powerful, touching, uplifting and tragic. It is also interesting to watch the fine acting of David Morrissey at such a young age.

    A must see.

  • A program that lives up to its memory

    I saw this on TV as a teenager in 1983 and it made a great impact on me. I recently saw that it was available to buy and had to take the risk that it wouldn't live up to my memory of it. It was a risk worth taking. I thoroughly enjoyed it all over again, and was amazed at how much detail I remembered. At times the pace seems a little slow but this is definitely one to watch, especially if you remember the 80s.

However things don't quite go as expected. With run ins with the locals, a stranger named Kidder and again the local police their lives are changed dramatically.
