I bought this product because I saw the original on TV many years ago. Even after all this time the plot, the acting and location are great. A really enjoyable watch!

A very well done British thriller Drama from the 1970s

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012

A very well done British Drama from the 1970s, first shown by the BBC. A very atmospheric series, this is Series one, and is longer in length then series two. The quality of the production is top notch.
This series one was more about other characters associated with the Tavern. In series two the plot concentrates on the owners, and the espionage plot line comes to the forefront. Excellent drama regardless of which decade it's seen in. Yes the transfer from film to DVD leaves a lot to be desired.please do not this put you off. Could there have been more in terms of extras? Yes there should be. I would strongly recommend both series one and two, real quality.

The Lotus Eaters is a Series I have never heard of before as it was broadcast in 1972 a year before I was born in Summer 1973 ,Thought I was getting the Complete series but have enjoyed watching this classic 1st series starring Ian Hendry and Wanda Ventham as a British Couple who move to Crete to start a new future in the Sunny island surrounded by Beautiful Beaches ,Directed by Cyril Coke ,Written by Michael J Bird ,This is a classic series that should be rewatched ,Highly recommended

Agios Nikolaos 30 years after "The Lotus Eaters".

Agios Nikolaos 30 years after "The Lotus Eaters"
By Sven Buchholz Agios Nikolaos, Crete.
I owe the production of "The Lotus Eaters" my best thanks. I first saw it on "Sky" in the early 90ties. Both my wife and I got a very sympathetic impression of the town Agios Nikolaos. Having seen all the episodes our curiosity made us paying our first visit in April 1993. The first visit was followed by 2 yearly trips until 2004 when we sold our house in Oslo, Norway and moved here permanently, all thanks to "The Lotus Eaters"! I beleive we are not the only one. There is a large Bitish colony in the area, and I know of several who learned about Agios Nikolaos from the series.
The way the atmosphere and the life in Agios Nikolaos in the mid 70ties is described is remarkably genuine. The mixing of exterior filming and studio is very well done taking the technical problems before the digital era in regard. Acting and casting is solid BBC work from start to end.
I have seen the entire serial many times on my old VHS direct recordings from "SKY". As I noticed the issue on DVD I did not hesitate to order both series. I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I watched "The Lotus Eaters" in my opinion a worthy representative from the "Golden Era" of BBC TV series.

BBC's version of Tales of the unexpected?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am enjoying the dvd just half way thru - saw the series first time around - Ian Hendry is good and Wanda easy on the eye - head of the local police is played well too. Various stories all linked around the couples past. Stories remind me of ITV's tales of the unexpected. The spy part which I liked first time around now seems a bit weak and unlikely - BBC production standards cheap - may not suit a 'supposedly' modern sophisticated audience, but most of the stories are good and the endings taking me by surprise.
Would recommend that you don't watch all in one go - take a break in-between episodes - like we had to do in the old days!

The limits of nostalgia

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I had some very vague memories of this series from its first airing in the early 70s; I would have been about 11 or 12 when it went out then. I was quite excited to find it on Amazon, I had marked it down as one of the programmes the BBC wiped; anyway, I ordered the DVD in a Proustian bid to rediscover lost evenings of childhood.

Adulthood is full of disappointments, but my initial dismay (about 30 seconds into episode one) soon gave way to delirious, hysterical laughter. 'The Lotus Eaters' is a fabulous confection of badly-judged melodrama, ludicrous plotting, risible dialogue/characterisation/acting, and pitiful production values. It has dreadfulness in depth; 'I Claudius' it isn't. That said, it is - somehow - endearingly terrible and offers a period viewing experience that sheds an interesting light on 'the golden age of TV drama'.

(Amazon requires me to give it a star rating; it's utter dreck but has been a deliciously guilty pleasure, so I will give it 5.)

Efharisto Michael J Baird and the BBC for The Lotus Eaters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

What a brilliant series. Well written and well acted throughout. Obviously Baird was brilliant but also the other writers who contributed to the series. Each episode can be enjoyed singularly. The main actors are brilliant but also the other cast members, I particularly was impressed with Sylvia Coleridge and the tarantulas. My favourite episode was 'The fascinating couple' with the creepy Mervishes plotting to abduct the young couple played brilliantly by Julia Goodman and Martin Howells. They were brilliant playing the innocent and I loved the scene were they forgive the Mervishes. I am too young to have known Ian Hendry but I loved him as Erik, and the way Erik cared about everyone in the bar.

I have watched series 2 but much prefer the Series 1 and the cast of Series 1.
