The LR has a name (Beelzebub, I think) and a character of its own. For a significant part of the movie, the focus of attention is on the LR. Some of the funniest moments involve the LR. The scene at the gate with no dialogue surely rates up there with the very best silent movie comedy. Dare I suggest it almost steals the show?

I know i'm dredging up an old one here, but does anyone know where I can get a copy of this film? Haven't seen it in years, and I was trying to tell my kids how good it was, but I would love to show them...

Any leads would be appreciated. Cheers - Gav.

Thanks for that. I should have had a closer look around before posting, but I don't buy DVD's, books and the such like on line, so didn't really know where to look.

Cheers - Gav

Amazon also have VHS versions, so you can digitise onto DVD.

Otherwise I play mine on a multizone DVD player :)

In the 1950's Charles Chauvel did a documentary called Australian Walkabout featuring two Series Land Rovers and what looks like an FJ Panel Van. Two clips from this series are available from the National Film Archive:

Australian Walkabout (1958) on ASO - Australia's audio and visual heritage online

It was a 13 part series done for the BBC and ABC. Does anyone know if its availble on video of any format?

I've only watched it seven or eight times, my Grandparents had it and as kids we always begged to watch it...maybe that's where the love of Series came from although it's not exactly the best advertisment for them.

Driving from Vic up to Sydney at the start of the year with no handbrake and having to start the engine by opening the bonnet and shorting the starter out (Solenoid not working) reminded me of this film...stalling at traffic lights on a hill proved interesting too :o

And there's a third one? If you could call it by the same name...
