I am glued to the television every day I so look forward to watching this programme then I find out it is just going to end why oh why end such a fab series, its far better than neighbours and home and away and they have been going years why is when a brilliant programme is launched they go ahead and spoil it by cutting it short very disappointed by this

What a gripping tale the last episode of the 4th season was. I can't wait to see what 2017 will bring. Absolutely great acting, Regina was such a fabulous evil person, she plays the part so well (a bit like Pat the Rat only 10 times nastier). Obviously she will be back! I want to see Sir Richard get his comeuppance too, he's a very nasty man and well played. Its amazing how far we have come as a society since then, we have more freedom now plus everything that opens and shuts. The rest of the cast are just so good. I hope Elizabeth will be back with her dashing husband and I wonder if George and Sarah will marry. I love the era too and the house is beautiful. Keep up the good work and looking forward to series 5.

Our national broadcaster is showing "A Place to Call Home", and I thought it would be interesting to see what Australian TV looks like. My first impression was not favourable, but I thought I should hold off until I'd seen more. I've now seen all the episodes and my first impressions still stand.The two leads, Sara and George are the two LEAST interesting characters in this show. They are played by two actors who have little or no range, and at best are wooden and slightly less wooden. The much more interesting people are the supporting cast: the matriarch Elizabeth Bligh, her daughter Caroline, or Caroline's love interest Jack. Even Elizabeth's grandson and his wife, Olivia,have more depth and are far more interesting.While I did not expect Downton Abbey, I did think the budget for hair and wardrobe on APTCH depressingly scant. Sara looks and dresses like a nun, and is put in odd dresses like a bright orange cocktail dress with a black tam that makes me think of trick=or-treat! It looked so depressingly odd - I find it hard to believe that anyone finds her attractive.

A series that relies on Anti-Semitism to work but good old hatred and envy run a close second. Sarah Adams, Marta Dusseldorp, is returning to Australia after being away for twenty years. On the ship bringing her home, she is working as a nurse and she stops passenger James Bligh, David Berry, from killing himself. This chance encounter brings her into the life of the Bligh family. The male head of the family George Bligh, Brett Climo, forms a relationship with Sarah which brings down the wrath of his mother Elizabeth, Noni Hazlehurst, and the vicious jealously of his sister-in- law Regina Standish, Jenni Baird. While there are subplots aplenty in this high-class soap, it is watching the extreme viciousness of the females that will make most watch. There is a homosexual son, illegitimate babies, family secrets revealed, more skeletons (secrets) than closets, the aftermath of WW II, and far too many coincidences. Only thing left out, barely, is an Oedipus complex. The series also has a great musical score. Great fun overall but can get a bit tendentious at times. I have to admit at the end of season two episode four both I and my wife decided enough. A soap usually strains credulity but this series just didn't know how to stop becoming a caricature or what Sherwood Anderson would have classified as a grotesque.
