Haggard-Complete Series 1 (1990) [DVDRip (XviD)]

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV



I'm actually suprised this series hasn't been uploaded before (I'm SURE I saw it at some point but can't seem to find hide nor hair of it now!!) but I noticed it on the request page and remembered seeing it available at (you guessed it, that treasure-trove of DVD goodies) my local library. I've watched the first episode and found it a pretty formulaic period comedy, certainly not in the league of Black Adder, though. Perhaps it'll grow on me as I watch more but as at least one person requested it, perhaps there are more. Enjoy.

Series 2 to follow once this one is well seeded (and I have the episodes converted)...I'll give it all the bandwidth I can muster but my ISP is forced (by their parent provider) to throttle back at certain times during the day.:'-(



Series Synopsis

Squire Haggard, the womanising, destitute former friend of the Prince of Wales, optimistically searches for rich men "willing" to part with their money, and rich, beautiful women willing to part with their virtue. His handsome son, Roderick, a typical Regency Buck, falls in love very easily, and the objects of his desire just happen to be very beautiful Ladies of Quality, who are heiresses to large fortunes. Squire Haggard, desperate to restore the family fortune, often uses his son in his 'get rich, quick' schemes - however, Roderick's foolishness usually brings his father's schemes undone. Their sly underhanded servant, Grunge, despises his 'put upon' position in life and, through guile and other means, has actually been able to acquire more wealth than his master. This money, however, is often at stake through the Squire's involving Grunge in his plots. (from imdb)
