[Afamilyatwar-list] Flesh and blood dvd

[Veit, Richard]

Besides 'A Family at War' (1970-1972), another of John Finch's series that I can recommend is 'Sam' (1973-1975), a semi-autobiographical drama that opens in 1934 and follows the title character from boyhood to the age of about 50. I agree with you that 'The Spoils of War' (1980-1981) and 'Flesh and Blood' (1980-1982) fall short of these two excellent series.

I received yesterday part one and two dads of John Finch Flesh and blood. I understand only 10 episodes were ever released with the remaining 10 unavailable. So far, I'm disappointed, though I've only watched three episodes. Mistake to kill Renee Asherson off in the first episode and if not warmed to the characters or setting but when I first got Spoils of War by Finch, I was similarly disappointed but on repeated viewing it free on me so maybe this too will. Still an addition to my DVD collection, however, I feel Finch never got near to replicating the brilliant cast and characters that made A Family at War so engaging.
