Something in the treatment of the film (or lack thereof) gives Landmark's images the poignancy that escapes most other landscape documentaries. Dense, rich and vital; much like the Landmark series itself.

Bit of a dude.

Why is that despite all the advances in technology, a mushrooming of media studies degrees and film schools, and boosts to funding of the so-called creative industries, we can't match today the quality of Landmarks and its ilk. It seems as time goes on, the worse NZ-made TV gets. Cumberland was the David Attenborough of Kiwi TV. Brilliant stuff. Can you buy the series on DVD? I might just do that.

I loved this series so much. I know Kenneth must be well into retirement, and deserved too, but I wish there were more.

Landmarks was a wonderful series, similar to Alistair Cooke's America series.
