Trailer Synopsis Cast

In the early 1900s in England, young Christina is orphaned and goes to live with her Uncle Russell, who owns the country estate of Flambards, and has two sons. Mark, the elder, is a wastrel, a roue and, like his father, loves to hunt. The younger son, William, lives to fly aeroplanes. Christina finds herself struggling with the ideas of classism as she falls in love with country life, the hunt, and one of her cousins. But after their impulsive marriage, when her husband is called away by the First World War, Christina must keep Flambards afloat by herself.

I saw this series when it first came out in the UK and it left a big impression on me then. Thank goodness for the advent of DVD which seems to have breathed life back into so many gems such as this, which might otherwise have been forgotten. The characters are fascinating, it is difficult to make a final judgement on some of them. The historical period wrapped around the First World War is a fascinating one, so much change and in some ways 'the end of innocence' (discuss!). The sets are great, the acting wonderful (what happened to their careers??), you feel like you're there. It's feel-good at times, bitter-sweet at others. If you treat yourself to the DVD you'll feel that you've made a real discovery. And the music, hauntingly beautiful....

i first watched Flambards in 2001 when my mum bought it on video. i thought it was great but as i was only 11, didn't quite understand all of it, i watched it again this week and got instantly addicted to it! it had me laughing, crying and marvelling and how much times have changed! also i immediately thought Mark Russell absolutely gorgeous!!! i also took a liking to Dick Wright. I think in all, they are all fantastic actors and know how to work a character! Second time round i understood it and i was moved greatly by it. Anyone, all ages should watch Flambards!!! i also cant stop whistling the theme tune.... very catchy!!! Flambards is brilliant!

I'm glad to see there are others out there who appreciate this series. I re-watch it in its entirety a couple times a year. It's so good on so many levels. The music by David Fanshawe is just amazing. I agree with the other posters as to how surprising it is that we haven't heard more from Alan Parnaby. I wish I know who to thank for creating this piece of work. It really is almost perfect, in my opinion.

Foggy, early morning English countryside, fox hunting, turn-of-the-century barnstorming..this mini-series is a big surprise. Beautiful, languorous, and romantic. I haven't enjoyed anything so much in a long time. Does anybody know whatever happened to Alan Parnaby? He is so outstanding in this mini-series I'm floored that so little has been seen of him since. If anyone can solve the mystery...please post your news here...
