Mini series based on classic books

	The Thorn Birds: Series 1 [DVD] Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £9.00 Outstanding from start to finish. Top performances from all concerned.
	A Very British Coup [1988] [DVD] Buy new: £19.78 Disturbing "prophecy" of what could happen if the establishment disagreed with the democratically elected choice of government. Different ending than the book.
	Once an Eagle by A. Myrer Buy used from: £2.41 Unfortunately not available on DVD (yet!) but a gripping saga of military families.
	Kane And Abel - Vols. 1 And 2 [VHS] [1985] Buy used from: £44.99 Worthy adaptation of Jeffrey Archer's masterpiece. Great performances again by the entire cast. Especially notable are the many cameos.
	Jeffrey Archer - First Among Equals - Volumes 1 And 2 [1986] [VHS] Buy used from: £5.45 Very subtle education in the machinations of British parliament. One of the 4 main characters gets to be PM. But which one?
	The Moneychangers (Story-Tellers) by Arthur Hailey Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.50 Alas, not available on DVD/VHS but we live in hope. Huge cast and typically Hailey, multi story-lines. A great production.
	East Of Eden - Parts 1 and 2 [VHS] [1981] Buy used from: £5.98 Jane Seymour steals the show in this gripping adaptation of Steinbeck's classic.
	Seventh Avenue by Norman Bogner Buy used from: £4.24 A mini-series about the rag trade? Yes it DOES work. The series was great but alas, lost to us in DVD/VHS format.
	Captains and Kings by Caldwell T Buy new: £5.23 / Used from: £3.04 The late Richard Jordan's finest hour in this saga of a poor immigrant who rises to unprecedented heights in this Taylor Caldwell story. Comparisons with the Kennedy dynasty cannot be ignored.
	Rich Man Poor Man - Book 1 [1976] [DVD] Buy new: £11.88 / Used from: £5.79 Ever-so-slight changes from the book but equally enjoyable.
