Monarch of the Glen: The Complete Series 4

Was sold in very good condition, but that only covered 2 of the 3 discs...the third was fairly scratched and had playback issues. You always gamble buying used dvds, but I do expect that if they are sold as "very good" that all discs should play without issue. Package arrived quickly and was otherwise in good condition.

I have watched the first two or three 'series' to date, and this show is absolutely spectacular. The cast of Monarch is superb! The plots are fun and easy on the mind. Probably the best part of the show is the location itself.The shows stars Alastair Mackenzie as Archibald 'Archie' Horatio Hector MacDonald, also starring, from "The Good Life or Good Neighbors (depending)" is Richard Briers as Archie's dad (series 1-3), other cast regulars include Alexander Morton, Julian Fellowes, Dawn Steele, Susan Hampshire, and the hilarious Hamish Clark as Duncan!If anything will make you want to visit Scotland, it's this show!What I love best about this series and ones from England are that the 'seasons' are so short. Some shows are 6 episodes total and some are maybe 10 epsiodes, for the entire 'season'.It sure beats sitting through 20-24 episodes of American television shows, which tend to drag on and on just to get to the season end.Please check out this fun little show and I think you'll be very surprised at how brilliant it is!

The passing of Hector at the end of Season 3 was also the death of this delightful and endearing series. The writing and direction in Season 4 is unpredictable and the characters lose their quirky, lovable shine as they constantly act in ways that are contrary to the characters we grew to know in Seasons 1-3, often with little rhyme or reason. It begins to feel as if the writers and director had not actually watched the first 3 seasons.From Season 4 onward, there are several new characters and story arcs and the series becomes a completely different show. Season 4 is the transition to the "new" Monarch of the Glen that is seasons 5-7 and a rocky, troubled transition it is.

Just so enthralling and a huge joy to watch. Easy to get caught up in the lives of these characters. Watching it a second time brought more joy and one saw more of the drama missed the first time we viewed it. Also realistic as a titled being, and living in an incredibly, beautiful large home, is realistically depicted as necessitating execution of all the hard involved . Loved it, but felt no envy to exchange places with the characters. All characters were believable and very well cast.

For those who have fallen in love with the BBC series Monarch of the Glen, follow the ups and downs, squabbles and antics, and miscommunication of this family. Season 4 continues the saga of Archie McDonald trying to save the family estate while trying to also make everyone happy and save his sanity. Like seasons 1-3, season 4 has you sitting there laughing and also appreciating your own family.

I love the series overall, although I must admit the departure of a few key characters changed the tone in many ways. I just purchased a new copy of Series 4, having watched borrowed copies and owned what I believe is a pirated copy of Series 4, and it seems to me that the episodes on the new DVDs are shorter ; scenes I remember from previous viewings of different DVDs are missing.

I watched this on TV in the UK and the series is not actually completed on the DVD series. Most unfortunate. We are left high and dry because of the lack of the last (possibly) two or three episodes. Such a shame for a great and repeatable series.

This isn't the full version, as released by the BBC. This is the edited version, sent over to America. There are missing scenes. I would think for the DVD version they could have released the full version even if they didn't want to give it to us for PBS or BBC America.

Dieses Produkt hat den Ländercode 1 (USA), in Europa also nicht abspielbar. mehr als merkwürdig, dass es hier angeboten wird.

This season continues the trend of excellence that we've seen in all of the "Monarch of the Glen" episodes. Once, again, a wonderful series from BBC.
