This Story that Started it All.
McLeod’s Daughters: The Original Movie
From the very beginning I was hooked.
A few months later, I saw it was being screened again, so naturally, I watched it again.
I loved the story again. The wide open spaces, the people, the country.
In the coming months I began noticing the words ‘McLeods Daughters’ being printed in our satellite TV Guide with increasing frequency until I realised that they were not screening the movie repeatedly, but had in fact made a television series out of it!
No need to ask me twice, and soon I was tuning in to watch every last bit of it that I could find. This was no mean feat, since we were getting it via the Hallmark Channel, who were screening it more than once a week, and sometimes twice a day. It was the kind of series that had myself and a group of friends (all avid fans) sms and texting one another to remind one another when it was on, or to update those who were unable to catch that days episode.
So, I was incredibly pleased, when I saw, that they are releasing the DVD of the original movie
Just in time for Christmas!! Hubby! Hello? Hello?? ?

I’m not sure *he* wants to sit through it again, but I do!
In case you are a fan of the series, but missed my post about McLeods Daughters Bloopers, here it is again. If you have always wanted to pick up a copy of the various Seasons, you may now do so through my sidebar. Enjoy!

You know, I’ve watched the series on and off over the years but I’ve never seen the original movie!
Might have to drop very broad hints to The Spouse lol.
If you liked the series, you will probably enjoy the movie. The characters who play “Tess” and “Claire” are quite different looking to the ones in the series, as Claire has long straight blonde hair, and Tess is a redhead – but their characters are very similar. Tess is the outgoing, rebellious one, and Claire, the down home country girl raised by her father. BTW the father (Jack McLeod) is played by well known Aussie actor Jack Thompson (who I ended up recognizing from Star Wars!)
