OK, I and my riding friends were besotted with Tony Young (or was it Cord we loved?) and the plot lines were perhaps not so important, but I do not remember them being poor. Even the fact that Tony was scared stiff of horses and we all loved horses and riding made no difference! As westerns go it was, perhaps, as has already been said, typical but for us, wonderful. It lasted such a short time that we were soon deprived of the gorgeous Tony but I can still remember the theme song as though it were yesterday, not 45 years ago!! Cord's dark, brooding presence is fixed in my memory, too. I wish I could see the series again - I really do!

The Adventure of English
(2002– )
What's going on?
20 June 2005
Parts 1-4 of this excellent series was shown here on Ulster Television and repeated soon after. We were told that parts 4-8 would be shown in the Autumn (of 2003 I think). They still have not been shown, not slipped in quietly unnoticed (I would have noticed), and no information given at all. The only answer I could get from UTV to date is that the makers withdrew it and there was no further info to be had! Soon after that I discovered parts 5-8 HAD been seen in England. I thought UTV was the problem. Now I am not sure what is going on. The stars are for the programme which gave me much information, entertainingly, about the language I love. Absolutely no stars for distribution!! I want DVDs
