  • Does anyone know where I can download the full CD for this? (1981 Version)?

  • @MyDomonation amazon has it

  • Anthony Andrew and Jeremy Irons? I've never seen this before but I love it already :) btw what's up with the teddy bear?

  • @shykaizen The teddy bear belongs to Sebastian (Anthony Andrew's character) and he takes it with him to Oxford when he goes there to study. I assume it's supposed to emphasise Sebastian's eccentricity, maybe also childishness. It's called Aloysius btw.

  • Interesting to see the picture of Sebastian and Charles in front of the stairway at Christ Church, decades before Harry, Ron and Hermione climbed it to be sorted into their houses.

  • The programme was/is wonderful, that's a given.

    But I love the ambiguous quality of this theme tune: it sounds optimistic in the early days but so very despondent in the last few episodes.

  • @Giovannisenzaterra Grow up and say something worth listening to.

  • @Romanticdance You are very welcome - enjoy!

  • @xxxmicamicaxxx Thank you so much for this information

  • @demonliberal Maybe those feelings, too, for you.

  • @ozirion73 Or morbidness, elitism, sentimentality, and philistinism.

  • If you like this music you'll love: the second movement of Thomaso Albinoni's Concerto for Oboe op.9 in D Minor. Or the 3rd. Movement of Mozart's Serenade for Wind K.361.

    It is worth seeking them out.

  • The best that television has to offer. great television and I am so grateful that I saw this great series and bought the DVD.
