Alan Bates is THE best Michael Henchard. Excellent version of a classic Thomas Hardy story The acting was superb. Tragic story that teaches us a hard lesson, namely that we are not the ones who get to choose the consequences when we mess up. Henchard is someone whom you both admire and pity. That's why the author described the story as a "study of a man of character". I thoroughly enjoyed this mini series. I really have nothing negative to say about it. Fantastic Buy!

I saw this version of "Mayor" when it was first broadcast on Masterpiece Theater. I waited forever to see it rebroadcast, to no avail. I was thrilled to find it on DVD recently. I know other reviewers had a problem with the sound quality of the DVD's, I somewhat agree. Apart from that, I have no qualms with overall quality. I have enjoyed my purchase very much, watching an episode each evening, (taking up the slack in the cable tv offerings!).
