Flambards Reviews
beautiful beyond imagination
Lucky is any viewer who encounters Flambards! It's one of Masterpiece Theatre's best series ever. Another reviewer did a great job outlining the plot. But this is a cinematic experience that literally blows you away. The scenes of horses on fox hunt, flashing along the fertile countryside with speed and excitement, are beautiful beyond imagination. There's a great, forward sweeping movement to each episode, an Edwardian country grandeur that's irresistible. It's Christina's series, and Christine McKenna never falters in creating the captivating heart of a story not without its ruthlessness. An ever present human sadness tracks the story like a stalker, but one never tires watching; redemption always comes at a price. The aeroplane scenes are as majestic and vital as the ubiquitous horses, and William is the sweet relief to the mongrol aspects of his beleagured family. As fine as it is, I'm convinced this series would be noticably less without its absolutely magnificent music, an essential component from the get go. The theme music alone will live forever! Get this beautifully done DVD version and make a date with forever.
Flambards: Don't forget Dick
This is my husband's favorite British import: we watch it once a year. The series so aptly caught the spirit of the Edwardian age. Other reviewers have discussed Christina's involvement with her cousins and the tragic loss of William which was very romantic. Mark was a drunken wastral and William a tender dreamer, but the series ends with Dick,the sensible, realistic stableboy,riding off with Christina to start the process of rebuilding Flambards and restoring a semblance of normality to life after the war.
