Yes, I finally received the last 4 episodes and , after a curly moment where I thought my DVD player was going to reject the disc, managed to watch them last night.

I am VERY pleased to say that my childhood memory DIDN"T let me down and the memorable episode that I had remembered was one of the 4 - Murphy's law, out of 52 episodes, it was the 51st that I saw!!! Still, it was worth the wait. After having seen all the episodes, it still remains my favourite after, what I have worked out, must be about 24 years since I last saw it as an 8/9 year old when it was rerun in 1981.

The episode in question is " The Horsebreaker" and, as I remembered, was very much an " Albert" vehicle. I always seemed to remember his episodes the most - I guess, becaues he was the most interesting character for me. I always felt Kevin/Vicky/Jenny were always a little too good to be true. Ned, well, I never really took to him - felt he had too much of a chip on his shoulder but, with Albert, well, he was a loveable rogue - what my mother would call " All Boy"! Mischievous, always getting into trouble of some kind but not inherently bad at all - just a normal boy. You could always be assured of humour in his episodes and, frankly, I felt that, out of all the children, he was the better actor which, I guess made him all the more believable for me.

Anyway, it's great to have all these episodes in my collection and I will now get around to completing the synopsis' on here as well as reviewing some more episodes.

I will also continue to update " The Adeventures of Black Beauty" IMDb site as well with all the guest appearances.

I am SURE there are people out there, similarly to me, who wanted to find out information about this treasure from their childhood but were frustrated re the lack of information available on the internet so I HOPE that by providing this information, it will inspire more people to pressurise the distributors and get more then the 11 " Best of" episodes released.

Well, I am trying to figure this out still although I think I am wee bit closer to doing this. I certainly am learning a lot about the Internet on here.

I am amazed that there is no website, official or unofficial, for this show. I am sure the actors who appeared in it all those years ago, and the audience who enjoyed it, would appreciate it and I think its great to have somewhere for people to check out information for research or just reminiscence purposes. I am seriously thinking about setting up a website myself. Need to have a crash course on web building first though!! As I feel most fans would come from the UK I think it might be an idea to have a UK contact as well to help maintain the site and forum. Anyway, that's a plan for the future. Ok, back to the intro of the show to see if my update succeeded. If I successfully managed to add a picture that will be a breakthrough indeed!!

Well, I have now found some photos - some tht I have scanned off of videos and others that I found...elsewhere. Anyway, woudl love to add them tot he site but have not figured out how to do this as yet. IF anyoen has any ideas....please let me know!!! And I will get them added asap. 4 extra episodes have not arrived as yet. Suffice to say as soon as they do, I will be on here writing a review. There was one particular episode that was memorable from my childhood. Murphys' Law, I have now rewatched 48 episodes and it wasn't one of them! Therefore, I am hoping that it is one of the 4 - well, it has to be! Unless of course, my recollection has been warped at all. I mean, I was very young, had a vivid imagination ( still do) and would make up stories myself featuring my favourite characters. It's highly conceivable that my recollection is more a result of this than what I remember seeing. Still, hopefully, I will know soon....!
Some people just don't have opinions. Like kiwiroustie.
kiwiroustie must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could kiwiroustie possibly have for not rating a single film?
