Anzacs

It's an above average TV miniseries about ANZACS -- Australian/New Zealand forces -- at Gallipoli and in France in World War I. More cheerful than tragic, it takes us through combat, a lot of banter, a romance, explorations of character, and a lot of conflicts of varying degrees of importance.

My Irish-born grandfather was with the Australians at Gallipoli, after having served in the RN. I have his enlistment ticket which says he was volunteer #28 that day.

Great WW1 drama series. Covers a group of Australian soldiers and their adventures in Gallipoli and the Western Front during WW1.

A beautifully crafted mini series with all the elements of production done to a high standard.Watching it became addictive and I viewed it over 2 nights,finding it both entertaining and informative.

It is a wonderful mini-series equally as good as the BOB (Brand of Brothers) or any of its style. The series starts in a bit humorous way which it carried throughout in spite of the struggles and sufferings it depicts in the later part.

The ANZACS mini series consists of five 90 minute episodes taking three years to make and was shown in Australia in 1985. The series tries to create the realism of the actual battle conditions, the mood of the times and the spirit of those involved.

I thought it was quite a good series. I can't imagine how this could be reduced to a 2hr?

One good way of rating a movie is how soon are you willing to watch it again. Well i just bought the 3 disc set and it will be the 3rd time i'd have watched it in 3 months.

I remember seeing this mini-series on TV in New Zealand back late '80s and falling in love with it. Years later I bought the series from an ABC shop here in Australia and found that it's entertainment value had not been lost.
