Look-In Pretenders (1972)

 As I mentioned last week I am pretty excited about this tv swashbuckler from 72 getting released on DVD (July 6th of course) - I remember it fondly as a 12 year old learning about the Monmouth Rebellion and it has been the subject of much yearning on my Monmouth Rebellion Facebook group. So I bought this Look-In special to whet everyone's appetite...

new book launched at SALUTE

This promises to be a worthwhile purchase. On the Ken Trotman stand.

Pretenders (1972) the complete series

Something I am pretty excited about and spotted by Michael James on my Monmouth Rebellion FB group is this series which is getting the DVD reissue treatment! It has an excellent story and is well worth getting. The Sedgemoor episode was especially good but then I was an impressionable child when I saw it.  Do you remember it?
