Having seen Robert Powell in "The Thirty-Nine Steps" I bought this DVD set supposing it was a miniseries based on Buchan's other Hannay books.

Obviously the flirty and pretty Barbara has more than a few admirers, especially as she showers in daylight. Hannay talks to Delahunty, Swimborn's lawyer, about the Laputa golden amulet which symbolizes Vivian's right to her tribe's throne. No-one knows where it is, and Delahunty believes that Swimborn was murdered whilst protecting it from somebody who wanted it for its immense monetary value. Stalky & Co 1 9 8 2 (UK) 6 x 50 minute episodes This six-part BBC miniseries was a faithful adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's… When his goddaughter is jilted on her wedding day, Hannay finds himself searching for not just a missing bridegroom but also a shipment of gold.

One sleepless night, starting "Hanny" about midnight, I was pleasantly surprised to discover "Hannay" is by turns fun and exciting. The Governments of Great Britain and Imperial Germany are in a race to arm themselves with modern battleships, but Hannay's arch-enemy, von Schwabing, has a plan to ensure that his country is the winner. The selling point is Robert Powell, and there’s no doubting that he’s a fine and charismatic actor, and he does his best to enliven the material and create some memorable drama. Fans of Powell will find much to enjoy. Naturally, for a mainstream television drama, individual episodes attract a good calibre of guest actors. You’ll find the likes of Charles Gray, Denis Lill, Edward de Souza and Martin Clunes making appearances. There were two series, the first with six episodes, the second with seven. Though a mixture of studio and location filming, the entire production (with the exception of the opening and closing title footage) was shot on videotape rather than the more expensive (yet typical) practice of shooting TV drama location exteriors on 16mm film. This maintained a more consistent atmosphere and look to the episodes. Home media availability In the series, Powell reprised the role of Hannay, an Edwardian mining engineer from Rhodesia of Scottish origin. [3] It features his adventures in pre- World War I Britain. These stories had little in common with John Buchan's novels about the character, although some character names are taken from his other novels. Principal Cast

When they discover that Hannay is in fact a Mining Engineer he suddenly finds that he is not at all welcome, although this is pure coincidence, as Hannay is simply visiting the town of his birth.
