5.0 out of 5 stars Childrens TV at its best, 11 Jul 2004

By	Mr. I. D. Baldwin "ianbaldwin3" (Englansd]]) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wonderful attention to period detail. Even the films colours are right for the period. Child actors excellent. Storylines as you would expect from Arthur Ransome. Bonus for Dr Who fans - Patrick Troughton and Colin Baker appear in episode 1 of The Big Six !. Buy it you won't regret it. A treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 17 Jan 2004

By	Mr. C. Bauers "Neil" (Suffolk UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like nature, sailing, kids and bad plots this fits the bill. I have sailed on the Norfolk Broads and this series captures the atmosphere perfectly. The sailing is technically accurate too. I'm old enough to remember England in earlier times. Once again the atmosphere has been captured nicely. The unusual Norfolk regional accent is evident and sometimes realistic. This is a classic and fully in the spirit of the Swallows and Amazons books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Major departures from Arthur Ransome's stories, but my kids love them anyway, 20 Oct 2008

By	motherofpearl (UK) - See all my reviews

I have recently read Coot Club and the Big Six to my children, so the stories were fresh in my mind when I watched this DVD with them.

I was a bit horrified in the initial scenes that quite so many bits of dialogue had been added in, mainly knowing nods in the direction of any adults in the audience. You expect subtractions when a book is filmed, but these additions seeemed entirely unnecessary. I also couldn't understand why Mrs Barrable had been written out of the Big Six.

Inevitably the plots and journeys felt a bit rushed, but the BBC props department had clearly gone all out on the period detail, and generally it was all well done. However, the film version of Swallows and Amazons is a lot more faithful to Arthur Ransome's original.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but irritating
This DVD does capture the world of Swallows and Amazons as I know it in the books. But do we have to have the irritating logos between each episode?
