Follyfoot - Complete Series 2 - Region 2 (All Region Player Required)
Yeah, yeah, yeah ... the long wait for Season 2 is over and the next chapter is finally here.
Will Steve return to Dora and Follyfoot Farm and live happily ever after? Well, of course we know he does comes back because his name is in the credits (doh) but I honestly can't remember what happens after that. The early 70's is just too long ago for me, so I'll have to watch with baited breathe like everyone else.
Season 3 is yet-to-be released, so there is something to look forward to for later on as well.
I hope you're as excited as I am.
Enjoy

The Adventures of Black Beauty - Complete Series 2 - Region 2 (All Region Player Required)
Another long-awaited new release is the complete second season of The Adventures of Black Beauty. This time, there is a new charactor to meet, a young orphan called Ned, but he and Squire Gordon soon clash when Ned is suspected of a burglary on the estate.
I'm really looking forward to watching this series as well, but I'm going to start with Follyfoot.
I hate it when all the good things arrive at the same time ... I never know where to start www.equitainment.com.au/product.asp?ID=2962
All Creatures Great and Small - DVD
While we are on the subject of British TV shows, I thought I had better remind everyone that the much-loved tv series "All Creatures Great and Small" has just been re-released on DVD.
I currently have all the Seasons from 1 to 5 plus an extra DVD which has the Specials on it. So far, Season 6 and Season 7 aren't available but I'm sure they will continue to trickle through over the next year or so.
If any of them are not visable on the website, it just means I've temporarily run out, so send me an email and I'll let you know as soon as they are back in stock. www.equitainment.com.au/product.asp?ID=2330
Wildride: The Rise and Fall of Cobb & Co - Paperback
Also just in this morning, is a new book which looks like an absolute ripper. It's the history of one of Australia's most enduring icons, the Cobb and Co stage coaches of the gold rush era.
Even though there are very few of we Aussies who haven't heard of the famous company, most of us (including me) have absolutely no idea how it came about and what the extent of it's operations were.
It looks like a terrific read and I'm taking a copy home with me tonight. A great gift to send overseas for relatives and friends as well. www.equitainment.com.au/product.asp?ID=2966
Robbery Under Arms - DVD
While we are on the subject of Australia in the gold rush era, another recent addition is the TV Movie version of "Robbery Under Arms" starring Sam Neill and a host of other Aussie acting talents.
I thought this was a heap of fun. The bushranger anti-hero of the story Captain Starlight, is made out to be such a likeable rogue and his continuing remarkable escapes would give even Robin Hood a run for his money.
There is a sad moment when his stunning horse Rainbow is injured, so you might have to close your eyes for that, but all-in-all it's a heap of light-hearted fun. Great for the long-suffering horse-husbands too. www.equitainment.com.au/product.asp?ID=2798
Trailblazers - Paperback Non-Fiction
And as a lucky last, just a quick reminder not to forget about "Trailblazers".
Another remarkable Aussie story that so few of us are aware of, about the first ever Australian equestrian team to travel overseas and compete at an Olympic games.
It's a fantastic story and one all we equestrian fans should be aware of, especially when you realise what a remarkable feat the entire expedition to compete at an Olympic Games, was.
If this book doesn't get you in a patriotic Olympic mood, then nothing will. www.equitainment.com.au/product.asp?ID=2736 |
