Dorset School
 

We just watched "To Serve Them All Our Days". a marvelous 1980 TV series shot in Dorset.

Two questions:

-What is the school; is it still there?
-Was the series ever revived--(we saw 11 episodes and were riveted by them)?

Thanks.

Anthony

I have no answer to your second question.

According to www.imdb.com, the series was shot at two schools in Dorset: Canford School and Milton Abbey School.

Both have Web sites, so I assume both are still there:

Hello
RF Delderfield was a very well known writer, but is now largely forgotten. Several of his panoramic novels were adapted for TV and were extremely popular. To Serve Them was actually 13 episodes so you nearly saw it all. I also recall A Horseman Riding By, based on his novel, being equally as good so watch out for that!

Eloise and Morgana,

Thank you for the information.Someday I hope to visit Dorset and Milton Abbey.

"To Serve them All My Days" is not out on DVD and/or video, at long last.

Bad, bad! The series IS now out on DVD/video.
