The Pretenders (1972) DVD

This is finally out on DVD. I'm pretty excited about that despite it costing 20 quid. Its an old HTV children's adventure set in the Monmouth Rebellion and as a child I loved it. Had the novelisation and everything. Sedgemoor is really well recreated. Percy Kirke is the baddie.

    This looks excellent - where did all the decent dramas set in the 17th century go to? It was perfect for storytelling.
    They should remake this and the series about the Churchills (though it'd be too politically correct now I guess)

    Percy Kirke is always the baddie lol
    John Childs has done a very good book on him though, based on some new letters that were found.
