Synopsis

Filmed on location in the North of England, A Dinner of Herbs is a film based on Catherine Cookson's novel about hardship, betrayal and family life in a 19th century working class town. Roddy and Hal have been friends since childhood, but their closeness is strengthened by the murder of their fathers by the same man. Mary Ellen is also in their circle of friends, but when she is rejected by Roddy after an affair that leaves her pregnant, she turns to Hal for security. Their lives spiral into an explosive and dramatic conclusion.

Ms. Jeanette Hayes "netty" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Catherine Cookson - a Dinner of Herbs [DVD] [2000] (DVD)

Shows you how hard it was in that time. Also alot of unforgiveness too. Dealing with past hurts and not letting your past hinder your future. Very good story loved the dvd

5.0 out of 5 stars good watch, 10 Jun 2009

T. Tracey "story lover" (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Catherine Cookson - A Dinner of Herbs [DVD] (DVD)

Cathrine Cookson researches her work well and knowledge of the historical facts surrounding the era the book portrays is excelent.
Her characters are believable and storyline rich. The only beef I had was the actual DVD I felt they left the audience to guess what the storyline was, they taak it for granted that we knew what the charactures wer thinking. Subsequently there seemed to be areas that didn't quite make sence for me. The book explained the plot more clearly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Toooooo Long!, 19 Jan 2012

Kev Stock - See all my reviews

This review is from: Catherine Cookson - A Dinner of Herbs [DVD] (DVD)

Far too long to keep me interested! A good solid story and some fine acting, but could have been done in 3 hours rather than 6. For something to be this long, it needs to be a lot better than what this actually is. Worth watching, but not one of Catherine Cookson's best......well not on TV anyway!
