Adventures of Black Beauty: Season 2

First of all let me state for the record that it's the DVD I am reviewing.Okay, I have to say that the original film hasn't been cleaned up in any way,just a very poor transfer of picture quality, the sound is on a par with the state of the picture. The colours are washed out, the definition of the image is bad, too. Howeverthe negatives stop there. The positives far outweigh them. Starting with the briefepisode intro before we are whisked along on the wings of the marvellous themetune which is (to me anyway) majestic, inspiring, powerful and yet at the same timehinting of hardship and suffering but still achingly good as the star of the series, Black Beauty makes himself look as he should, muscular, lithe and very swift indeed, simply brilliant.The stories themselves have a strong sense of moral values, the struggles of the Gordonfamily presided over by Doctor Gordon with deftness, good judgement, wit and common sense.The kind of man you wish your father could have been or perhaps still can be with a littlework! The kids are fun, boisterous, impulsive, stupid and willful but full of character and youcan see their parents' decent characters shining through in the end.The series is still epic, my kids are enjoying the episodes day after day and return fromschool with a "Can we watch Black Beauty now?" There's so much to enjoy in theseprograms and it is incredible that each and every story accomplishes such a lot in sucha short time. One show of Black Beauty is worth two of any modern similar type dramas.The production values are excellent and the cast deliver the goods time after time fromthe main characters all of whom are charming in their own typically quirky ways throughto the supporting cast. Young or old, the lucky ones who were fortunate to be in thismasterpiece are carry each and every story through to its conclusion having you beggingfor more.All credit for this goes of course to the author, Jane Sewell who crafted these awe-inspiringtreats first for her readers and then through the screenplay writers and producers, horse handlerswho managed to make Black Beauty virtually human for us viewers to enjoy. I cannot sing thepraises of this series enough. Whether you are owners or just fans of horses this series althoughmade for children is equally suited to be viewed by adults, in fact the whole family can sit downtogether and just be blown away by the way it all comes together so apparently effortlessly. Thelove and care with which this show has been put together is palpable.In a nutshell, choose another colour if you wish but there is only one..Black and it IS a Beauty!!!!!

I just love the way the kids help outand Black Beauty is verry good horsethat helps out and gets ride of bad peopledocter golden is a good vetand house keper Amyie helps out aswell.

another series from childhood. bought for a friend who loves it dearly. he's quarantined himself in the house, watching these....

I bought this for my granddaughter and she loved it. She is 9. She loves horses, and she could not get enough

It's just how I remembered it years ago really brilliant!

The first and second seasons of Black Beauty are full of nice and simple adventures of two kids Vicky and Kevin (Judi Bowker interpreting Vicky) and their father a Doctor who attends persons and pets in a country community of 19th century in England. It is a set of lovely situations with nice messages about love to the nature and persons and off course to animals like the horse Black Beauty. It is a nice opportunity to enjoy this TV series of 70s, hard to see in this days on TV.

Judi Bowkers picture is on front of Season Two and she is listed as an actress but she is not in any episode. Very inferior to the first year. Do not buy.

While this is a lovely old TV series, Season 2 does not star Judi Bowker as advertised. I purchased series 1 and 2 because I am a Judi Bowker fan. It's hard to say who is to blame for the bad information on this item. The artwork on the disc has a picture of Judi Bowker but doesn't mention her name anywhere on the outside of the case. Both series are advertised by Amazon as starring Judi Bowker. It's a nice enough series but still--where's Judi?

Love old movies and tv series I look forward to watching this one many thanks

Black Beauty season two is stories with the famous horse from the classic book and countless movies but is very loosely based on the book Beauty is with a loving family and in my opinion this series is season 1 & 2 is better than any of the movies and book.If you want the book story then one of the movies is what you want if you just want a good series then this is more for you and horse lovers will like it to apart from the first episode.

DVD SEASON 2 OF BLACK BEAUTY WAS ALSO NICE TO SEE YOU BACK WITH ACTOE STEPHEN CARLICK AS NED LEWIS I HAVE THESE GUYS EVER MET AT THE SHOTS, OF BLACK BEAUTY THAT WAS FUN BECAUSE THOSE GUYS WERE MY AGE. THE FAREWELL WAS SO MUCH FUN WE GAVE EACH OTHER A HAND KISS WHICH IS JUST STAYED AT, BUT I,M HAPPY WITH THIS DVD,S MVGR HENK ROOSENDAAN NETHERLANDS
