Television Classic,
By J Casey (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Summer - The Complete Series (2 Disc Set) [1983] [DVD] (DVD)
I first watched this twenty odd years back when I was thirteen and it has stayed with me since. I've eagerly kept me eye out for repeats or video/DVD release and finally my patience has paid off.Unbelievably it is even better than I remember it and, being at a different stage in life, I relate to it in a different way. It is powerful, touching, uplifting and tragic. It is also interesting to watch the fine acting of David Morrissey at such a young age. A must see.

one summer,
By trigger "imcadam121" (liverpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Summer - The Complete Series (2 Disc Set) [1983] [DVD] (DVD)
I first saw this series on channel four when I was ten.Being from the city of Liverpool,I was instantly absorbed and could relate to the events in the characters' lives. Basically it portays two deprived and discontented young men in their last year of school,about to be immersed into the big hostile arena of a city without work and one that's succummed to despair and industrial decline. In an attempt to discover adventure and contentment they descend upon an unsuspecting welsh village and instantly become notorious,mostly for all the wrong reasons!. They encounter hostility and warmth in equal proportions. The usual mis-conceptions about Liverpudlians are prominent with comments such as "I'd better nail everything down that's moveable" and the suscpicious expression on the face as they say "you're from Liverpool,aren't you?".Compelling viewing,I only wish it was released alot sooner. As I said earlier,the last time I saw it was back in 1983 when I was ten,but I remembered it to this day. A very convincing performance by all the actors,particularly David Morrissey and Spencer Leigh,whom exhibited a maturity well beyond their years. A well written series,truly distinctive,thoroughly absorbing,buy it,you won't regret it.

Brilliant Adventure,
By Jack Higgins "naiss3" (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Summer - The Complete Series (2 Disc Set) [1983] [DVD] (DVD)
I watched this on Channel 4 about 15/20 years ago and it remains with me to this day. This is an heartwarming adventure about two lads on a adventure to Wales. It pretty much touches on everything, violence, fear, romance, hope and tragedy. Take a chance on this DVD, which you may never have heard of, instead of the usual Hollywood hyped blockbuster and you may well find it a rewarding experience.
