5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST of series 1 & 2, 9 May 2009
By Mr. A. Brown "cortina 1970" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although the complete series 1 & 2 are available elsewhere on Amazon, these 2 discs are are selection of the best episodes from series 1 & 2, on 2 discs, at a lower price!, and Network DVD have certainly done their homework to select 'The Best'. After seeing both series from start to finish, nostalgia can't hide the fact that there were one or two poor episodes amongst the top episodes, luckily, none have made it onto this compilation....

Episodes as follows..

The Fugitive - Vicky and Kevin Gordon find a beautiful ebony horse that has been mistreated, and help restore his health.

The Hostage - An escaped convict holds Kevin and Black Beauty hostage and forces Vicky to get food and clothing so he can complete his bid for freedom.

The Recruiting Sergeant - Black Beauty is in danger of losing his freedom when a unit of British Army soldiers arrives in the village and Kevin is tricked into joining up.

Sailor on a Horse - Vicky visits an old cottage believed to be haunted and finds an ex-sailor living there, who proves to be a friend indeed when a lawyer threatens to evict the Gordon family from their home.

Father and Son - Doctor Gordon tries to sort out a dispute between a grandfather and his son-in-law over the future of little Stan.

A Member of the Family (Parts 1 & 2) - Black Beauty and Jenny find themselves in the middle of a foxhunt. Ned joins the Gordon household and is immediately under suspicion of theft.

The Medicine Man - A quack doctor moves into the village, selling his own medicine for sixpence a bottle, claiming it cures all ills. Out of the Night - Eerie happenings in Monkswood when Jenny and Ned claim to have seen a ghost.

The Escape - Dr Gordon doesn't believe Kevin and Albert when they tell him that Cicely Eddington is being held prisoner in Granley Hall by her aunt and uncle.

Game of Chance - Dr Gordon and Amy visit London for the day leaving Jenny to look after things. Albert gallops off to Maybury fair and loses not only his money but Beauty as well.

All in all well worth the cash for the best stories from the early series'.
