I vaguely remember the series from the first time round, but I hadn't realised just how superb it is. It now looks slightly dated, but this really just adds to the atmosphere and suspense. A genuinely excellent drama with more than its fair share of suspense and plot twists. Fantastic acting too.

Hard to believe this first hit the screens 22 years ago. Watching it again, I remember it like it was yesterday, so memorable was it. Sadly, few drama series have come close to matching it since. A mixture of suspense, humour, superb acting and a terrific storyline make Widows a 'must-see' for any fan of crime drama. Lynda La Plante, take a bow.

Drama in the eighties was a high point in British tv history and drama's do not come much better than WIDOWS. The first series from Lynda La Plante tells the story of how three widows join together to finish the robbery their husbands died trying. Joined by fourth member - the recenlty widowed Bella - the women set about financing their future lives alone. But are they? Intrigue, suspense, action and some first rate acting puts WIDOWS above the rest, making it (to this day) an unmissable piece of quality television and a must have for any DVD collection.
