I highly recommend both movie and the book.

Heh, Geoff believe it or not I did think about you when I heard them saying Exmoor in the movie. No, I did not remember you recommending it unfortunately as I said it was a complete accident that I found these series.

I LOVE them. I also read the book and loved it and yes, couple of changes to the story annoyed me, but they do not take away from main storyline for the most part, so I still loved David's teaching battles and his obvious love for kids and I loved all the teachers. And heh, Howarth (sp?) reminded me of Snape the way I think Snape should have been if he gave a d*mn about kids.

And where where do you guys find soooo many talented actors? :-)

Yes, I know what vet means :), I did study some British english before I came to US. Will definitely note these series, thank you :)
