5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Drama, 4 Mar 2007
By J. OConnor "Jim" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember watching this series when it was originally broadcastback when I was in my very early teens.

This stands out as one of the greatest british drama series of the last 30 years and certainly ranks as one of the best british series to have ever been made.

Focusing on a group of ex-patriot women living in Singapore at the outbreak of hostilities on that continent and focusing on their trials under the brutal regime of their captors, and the bonds that remain between them right through to their liberation captivity I would advise anyone that is considering buying this DVD to buy it, at times difficult to watch, this is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic drama, just try not to get addicted!, 6 Mar 2008
By Lumix (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
I received this for Christmas, and proceeded to watch the whole box set over the Christmas holidays. It really is fantastic, the acting is superb, and you completely forget that it's really filmed at a specially constructed location in England.
The characters are fully developed and you find yourself following the story of each one as the series progresses and the original group is split. Even if you are only mildly interested, I would wholeheartedly recommend taking the plunge and buying this, however only if you haven't got anything important coming up in your schedule!
