David Powlett-Jones and Philip Kent
I am so sorry to see there is no fan group for "To Serve Them All My Days." I just recently re-watched this excellent and moving series centered around David Powlett-Jones, the tall, dark, handsome, sensitive and shell shocked young man, son of a miner, who returns from WWI to teach History in a boy's boarding school and moves from young cynic to older idealist.
For me words cannot express how much I enjoyed both the BBC series and the book. I was so sad when it ended that there was not more. Thank Goodness for Netflicks and being able to rent these types of movie and series that they never play on broadcast TV anymore.
I am also sorry there is no fan group for the Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes. I was OBSESSED with this series when I was a teen. I first saw "The Seekers" (with Randolph Mantooth as the young Abraham Kent and George Hamilton as the dastardly seducing bi-sexual libertine naval officer whose actions have devestating consequences) at age 12 and I was hooked. I read each book hungrily and begged for forwards on my allowance money to get each next book, waiting was an agnony.
All the novels in the series were planned to have made into movies but they ended with the Seekers. I wish they would put the three movies they did make into movies into DVD format so that Netflicks would carry them.
