Charming, Compulsive and Creative

A charming return to life in Australia in the 50's.

Craig Mclachan plays Lucien perfectly.(In fact I love him in this role.) A man blighted by loss, heartache and hardship. Finally we see the light beginning to shine in his life as the local DR/Police Consultant.

The setting of Ballarat is beautiful. I disagree with previous comments on its filming being too dark... it just adds to the feel of the whole series. I found the whole series to be well written, played out and it was compulsive viewing.

Support cast are very good with believable characters, with a very realistic portrayal of women living in a male dominated world.

Looking forward to series 2 coming to BBC.
