It's simply wonderful to have this most enjoyable and entertaining series in one complete set. I absolutley loved the series when it showed originally on BBC between 200-2005, and a lot of the thrill was waiting each week and wondering what would occur next. But I must say that having been able to watch the series in succession (it's taken me nearly a month of night time viewing just to get to series 6!), I feel part of the Glenbogle family and have been able to experience the joy, laughter, tears, losses and gains along with the characters.
Aside from the ridiculously fantastic price for the entire series, I would reccomend this series to anyone who has not yet seen it. It's simply wonderful. If you can expect constant change, drama and surprise (just like life really is), then the fairytale like charm and idealism of the story will enchant you and get you hooked for years to come - and I say this because I have yet to meet anyone who has not eventually watched the entire series again!
If you did see the series before and have been considering this purchase to see it again, you will surely discover the joy I have of being able to watch the episodes consecutively and it will no doubt crawl into your heart once again and become a very proud placement in your DVD collection, as well as an old friend.
5 proud stars for sheer loveliness :)

Monarch of the Glen is a warm, emotional and yet fun look at life with Scottish Laird Archie and his lady Lexie. Retiring Laird Hector features in the first four series, then after his demise the series does take a rather different turn. Suddenly the financial problems disappear and the whole place seems to have had a spit and polish. A very enjoyable series for all age groups.

Format:DVD
Monarch of the Glen was a television drama, produced by Ecosse Films for BBC Scotland and originally broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom. The series premiered in February 2000, and its seventh and final season was broadcast from September 2005 until October 2005 - with 64 episodes in total.
Monarch of the Glen is loosely based on Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, which are set in the same location but in the 1930s and 1940s. The real Monarch of the Glen is a famous Landseer oil that every Scot will be familiar with.
The first five seasons of Monarch of the Glen told the story of young restaurateur, Archie MacDonald, trying to restore his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands, whilst the final two seasons of the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to modernise the estate. I kind of see it as heartbeat in the Highlands - it had the same vibe and timeslot - although it has a better cast perhaps.

I'm addicted to this program. It's hard to find in Canada, but so worth it. Beautiful scenery, crazy characters, and great writing, make this worth watching.
