I did look forward to this series and loving the scenery of the South Coast of NSW. One of my favourite holiday destinations. Going into the story I was struck that it had the familiar elements of "Sea Change", the lead even looked like Sigrid Thornton, but the vet was no Diver Dan. They maybe over doing the "quirky", however, I'm willing to keep going, if only for the scenery. The other characters are what you might expect from the original series, the gruff but likeable commander, a ditzy pc. Somehow, this might have more of a personal story attached other than catching the crook. Australians are good at detective drama/comedy so let's hope this turns into a gem.
I did love Tommy Steel but after this film, it turned me right off him. The songs were too long making the movie too long. I got bored and I think I left before the end. It is a boisterous musical with lovely costumes but just too long. I thought it was the end after the song something about the family album. Should have stopped right there. I didn't know that there was an earlier version, must look it up if it's still around. I hope it wasn't a musical. This movie was made in the height of musical blockbusters so perhaps a favourite with people who enjoy them. I wouldn't say it's in the same league as My Fair Lady, far from it.
Zeehan actually to who thought it was Queenstown. However, a lot of scenery was taken from various other towns. One question: Aborigines in Tasmania? Totally wiped out long before this was made. I watched in weekly sessions. Best to have waited and binge watch. I liked the story. Having Sandy Gore and Pamela Raby was a treat. Great characters. Did anyone think Jeremiah looked like a young Michael Caton? If there are to be extra series, I'll watch because I feel a stirring of unanswered questions and further plots to thicken. Hope they film in summer next time so I'm not rushing outside to get warm.
