  DVDFILE.COM: THE PALLISERS review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Yet unlike most U.S daytime dramas, The Pallisers deals with people in positions of great power whose decisions affect the lives of their citizens, which therefore affords the series a high sense of drama and complex political overtones.
Devotees of The Pallisers and of Trollope continue to maintain a popular fan base both in the United States and Europe, and bringing this British Broadcasting Company jewel to DVD should delight the series' many admirers.
The Pallisers looks like it was shot on video rather than film, and the quality of the picture varies quite a bit between interior and exterior shots.

 The Pallisers (mini--series)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Meanwhile, the father of Plantagenet Palliser (Philip Latham), despairing at his sons' platonic relationship with married woman—which has caused mid-Victorian tongues to wag—decides to arrange a marriage between his son and Glencora.
Plantagenet's relationship with the married woman was based solely on their mutual interest in politics, and while not entirely pleased he is more than willing to accept the marital arrangement as his duty, but Glencora struggles with her imprisonment in a marriage with a man she believes she can never love.
Latham gives full range to the usually grim-visaged Palliser, allowing the audience to discover little chinks in his armor as his love for his chosen wife grows, and as he recognizes flaws in his own character.

 Amazon.ca: DVD: Pallisers: 4pc Box: Series 3 -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The third and last set of DVDs of The Pallisers, based on Anthony Trollope's series of Parliamentary novels, is finally here and everyone who loves a good soap opera, memorable characters and several touches of intrigue should rejoice.
I loved The Pallisers when I first saw it on TV 25 years ago, and I still think it's wonderful, even though its flaws (a bit too stately at times) are more obvious when seen in big gulps of 3-4 hours at a time.
The concluding 9 parts are on 4 discs and finish the tale of "Planty" Palliser, his wife Glencora, and the countless other characters--major and minor, high born and low--that have crowded the screen in what the jacket blurb calls "one of the most popular series ever to air on PBS."

 Pallisers, The Part 2 [1974] UK
The series is a mixture of political and romantic intrigue as various male characters vie for power and the women look for love--and all are regularly thwarted by the rigid social codes of the era.
The arranged marriage of spirited Glencora and decent but distant Plantagenet is the catalyst for the saga, which gradually expands to encompass considerable political wheeling and dealing.
With a wide streak of satire The Pallisers is as witty as it is moving, a high point of 1970's BBC drama only surpassed by I, Claudius (1976).

James Lindsay, Admiralty macer, served this notice upon Captain Palliser, who foolishly and haughtily replied that he was subject to the laws of England only, and would riot send Cormick ashore.
Captain Palliser, on his return to England, threatened to make the frauds on the revenue a matter for Parliamentary investigation, if not attended to, and the ministry then enforced the duties upon claret, which, before this time, had been drunk commonly even by Scottish artisans.
This officer afterwards behaved with great bravery at Newfoundland, in 1764; and on attaining the rank of Admiral of the White, was created a baronet, and died governor of Greenwich Hospital in 1796.

 DVD Review - Quick Peeks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The video is presented in its original full-screen format but, sadly, the ensuing 25 years since it was made have not been kind to ’The Pallisers.’ Shot on both film and video, the quality of the picture fluctuates greatly.
First up is a short interview with Susan Hampshire in which she reflects on her role in ’The Pallisers.’ Next, there is a section on Anthony Trollope that contains a short biography, a reproduction of an original manuscript, a list of all the novels in the series, and information about the Trollope Society.
My biggest complaint with ’The Pallisers’ is that, now that I’m hooked on this surprisingly immersive story, I have to wait for the next two sets to see how it all plays out.
