Hope Springs

NEVER SEEN ON AMERICAN TV BUT A HIGHLAND HIGH
Prison food seems to have accentuated 4 women ex-cons' cleavage. Plus their wits & determination. They con the con and run. Unfortunately, instead of Barbados they end up in the Scottish Highlands. Hope Springs and the inn with that name. Seems a good place to lay low, while they get new passports. But trouble starts. There's more trouble in Hope Springs than Midsomer County has murders (Midsomer Murder DVD-TV series). Even multiple murder, like in Midsomer, but in the highlands it all happens differently. Events leave you laughing as much as in suspense. What a fantastic combination for a TV series. But after 8 episodes the story comes full circle, and alas, the series is not continued. For some unreasonable, unexplainable notion, it has never been shown on USA TV, but then it is a recent, 2009, BBC airing. HOPE SPRINGS is new, delightfully different, and this DVD set is the only way you can enjoy it.

My wife gave it 5 1/2 stars while only half way through the series. Men...

British comedy drama at it's best.
Witty, clever and highly entertaining.

The end of each episode get's you thinking, 'how the heck are they going to get out of that one'!

Full of twists and turns with plenty of drama and comedy to boot.

With a plethera of fine actors, I defy anyone not to enjoy this series. Just a shame that it's not getting a follow up.

This is one of the best shows I have ever seen on the Beeb.

Highly recommended.

P.S. You do get used to the inclemant weather here in the UK. :-)

Hope Springs Rocks!
I purchased this video on a whim because I like the actress Alex Kingston Doctor Who and I love the British sense of humor and drama. This too short series is simply excellent. Good story, even though it lasted only one season. Funny! Well acted! Well written! And the "dark humor: is excellent! And the actress's aren't bad to look at either
