Adventurer - Complete Series DVD starring Oliver Tobias and Temuera Morrison

Out on Monday 18th May 2009 from Network.

ADVENTURER THE COMPLETE SERIES continues the story where The Smuggler leaves off. The familiar swashbuckling hero, Oliver Tobias, reprises his role as Jack Vincent an aristocratic smuggler in this pulsating series. Jack Vincent is caught and transported to a penal colony on Norfolk Island, just off the New Zealand coast. To further compound Vincents misfortune, the ships captain is Vincents brother in Law, Lt. Harry Anderson. The two men already have had violent encounters in the past due to Andersons less than acceptable treatment of Vincents sister; and now, Anderson is in the position to, and does, subject Vincent to particular humiliation and treatments. What he does not account for is Jack Vincents resourcefulness and the loyalty that he encourages in others

Filmed on location in New Zealand, ADVENTURER features natural, breathtaking sceneries, highly authentic sets and thrilling scenes; with a compact, exciting script from award-winning creator Richard Carpenter (Catweazle). This release will prove itself worthy of its predecessors.

I had a part in this show, it was the first paid acting job I ever had. Not a huge role, but enough to keep me working for several weeks including a few weeks in Tutukaka. It was such a great time for me, as a kid I was a fan of Arthur of the Britons, so it was a true thrill for me to get to know Oliver Tobias on set, also to see how well Temuera Morrison did with his career. Happy times, thanks for posting!

The series wouldn't be what it was were it not for the fabulous supporting acting by Temuera Morrison. May his tribe flourish and prosper.

And, yes. thanks a million for sharing it.

Would you believe it that I have been searching for the soundtrack of this tv series since 1988, when I first watched it?

I was also very fascinated by Jack. I still remember some scenes of the show. And also the theme music sounds familiar to me. I ordered the DVD and I love it.

omg, i remember watching this when i was about 11. I know why i liked it so much as i was studying alot of english literature during this time...stories pretty much set in the same period as this show...

I loved this series when it was out. I've waited 20+ years for it to be released onto dvd/video. Quite wierd watching it again, maybe slighty dated and the ending is a little disappointing, but thats how it is in the book. Still very happy that I have got it at long last.

Oh how I love that character of Jack Vincent how Oliver Tobias interpreted him. Honesty has impressed me as well. Both together form a perfect couple.

Have seen Smuggler recently and have to buy this one also, that's for sure.

I reckon I've seen the series in my childhood, because I know that song...

I don't remember this sequel very well, and after viewing it is not without its charm. Smuggler however is just more accessible and Vincent was just more mysterious and likeable a character. Additionally the supporting cast were more dynamic and interesting. The end of Adventurer is a massive disappointment. I felt like saying "so what?"
