Anzacs (1985)
Another classic Aussie production!
I also first saw this series on BBC afternoon TV in the '80's at the tender age of 10. I fell in love with it immediately. Already being a fan of the Paul Hogan show, I was delighted to see him in Anzacs. I tried and tried to find it available on anything but the awful 'edited' feature film. After years of searching I have located a website in Oz that has shipped it to me in the UK. Look up EZYDVD on the web and it should give you the address. It was a delight to watch it all from the start - and yes, it was just as brilliant as I remember it being! You can also get other Aussie films (The Shiralee being just one fab example) from here - as long as you have a multi-region DVD player. I would urge anyone to watch this series, it makes me laugh and cry out loud, even 20 years after I first saw it! Jon Blake plays such a good role in Flannegan, it's terrible that he was injured so badly and wasn't able to work again. All the other actors made each episode so real, it's really easy to get involved with the storyline and characters. I find it incredible that the Aussies never really recognised the role played by the "diggers" of WW1 in their own history, except to remember Gallipoli and what a disaster that was. This series should have gone someway to making people remember that it was indeed a World War and we should be grateful for all the help those "diggers" gave in winning the war! WATCH THIS SERIES!!!!!!!
