![The Thornbirds: Complete Collection [DVD] [1983] [2010]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41w0VzBo1IL.jpg)
The entire mini-series (based on the best-selling novel by Colleen McCullough) following the fortunes of the Cleary family, whose lives are touched by a seemingly unalterable destiny. The story spans generations and continents and deals with the relationship between an ambitious priest (Richard Chamberlain) and a young woman (Rachel Ward).It includes both the "Thorn Birds The Missing Years" as well as the whole "Thorn Birds mini series". Review: Thornbirds - I didn’t watch this in the ‘80’s so lovely to view this movie now Review: The original series is ....Magical! - I was in my mid teens when this originally came out and I remember being transfixed by it then. My husband bought me this box set for my Christmas and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the original 1983 episodes. The acting is beautiful and the tension and passion between the central characters makes for compelling viewing. It's is most thought provoking storyline and the script is well written. There are a few parts which are rather fanciful but by far the last 2 DVDs are the best of the set. The love affair is so sensitively and believable acted. Yes it's 30 years ago since it was made and some of the make-up, hair and costumes appear "dated" by today's standards especially as the characters age, but in many ways this is part of the charm of the original. The box set came with an additional DVD called "The Thorn Birds the Missing Years". I decided to watch this last night and wished I hadn't- dire... Nothing about this does justice to the original, so many inaccuracies. This should never have been made... With the exception of Richard Chamberlain the acting is very wooden. It more like watching a cheaply done and very long ( nearly 3 hours) episode of Dallas. Watch and get lost in the twists and turns of the beautifully done and iconic original " Thorn Birds' but when the box set arrives don't waste time on The Missing Years... They add nothing, could almost detract from the box set so keep them missing!

The original series is ....Magical!

You must see this in your life time.
Perfect production! Authentic, passing values and messages that are universal to humanity and acted beautify and very skilfully. They do not make productions like that anymore.

Good saga series

It had a lot of good actors in it, and was very close to the book.
I enjoyed this as much as I did the first time around. I also enjoyed the book very much.

Love story
I first watched back in January 1984 when it aired on the BBC since Richard Chamberlain has died aged 90 it's still as good

Arrived on time and in mint condition. However, because of Brexit, I paid a small customs fee online before delivery.
