5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous TV series, 24 Nov 2007
By Mrs. Margaret Cummins "busybee" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having thorougly enjoyed this on TV I was desperate to obtain on DVD and have not been disappointed when re-watching it. Although it is only a few years since on TV it is interesting to see a few of the actors e.g. Laurence Fox becoming more well known. Scenery was magnificent and the acting made me feel for the islanders during this awful time. Am sure it depicted a good view of what happened on the channel islands during the war.

1.0 out of 5 stars The only thing correct was that a war happned, 25 Nov 2008
By Tony B (Kent UK) - See all my reviews
Being a Jerseyman, this series was to put it mildly dissapointing. It is a complete work of fiction, to the scenery, taken on the Isle of Man to the storyline. Many older Islander's I know where, and are still insulted by this series. To point out one obvious fault, at one point a female actress, supposedley an islander, is seen walking amongst fortifications. I am told by people who lived through this that the minimum that would have happned was imprisonment. Hopefully on the Island, probably in France, quite possibly a concentration camp for espinage. Many civillian's from the Islands were imprisoned, some in concencetration camps, many did not return. On a daytime proggramme made at the time of first transmission an actor claimed he could find no information on the Island Commandant, Graf von Schmettow. The list I sent immedatley of a dozen open scources was not acknowledged. There was no second series made, thankfully.
