b-l-tindal

I loved this adaptation of the novel by Fennimore Cooper and would tell you more but it was a long time ago. I just remember being bowled over by it! (I was entirely enthralled and captivated by Uncas!). I also remember that Philip Madoc made a very strong Magua, somewhat striking as the "baddie" of the plot. Costumes and settings were very good too. I would love to know if anyone out there has a copy of this excellent mini series. I was very disappointed with the Daniel Day Lewis film version. Just to add I would dearly like to see the release of other excellent BBC dramas like My Brother Jonathan (Daniel Day Lewis... on great form this time) and also the excellent Ben Cross in Cronin's The Citadel. Perhaps as the BBC are at last releasing the superb 1973 mini series of Jane Eyre in May (with Michael Jayston as Mr. Rochester) we might stand a chance of seeing this wonderful version of The Last of the Mohicans..........hopefully we have not seen the last of this Mohican!!
