Win the Owl Service on DVD
The Owl Service, the definitive adaptation of Alan Garner's award-winning novel is out on DVD.
Shot in the Welsh valleys almost entirely on location in the summer of 1969, The Owl Service perfectly combines history, myth, mystery and adventure surrounding a tense set of human relationships. This drama raised the bar for what the viewing public could expect of a teenage drama which delved into the supernatural and other topical themes such as class division, with bold direction from Peter Plummer and excellent performances from a cast of largely unknown actors.
Alison (Gillian Williams) and her brother Roger (Francis Williams) spend the family summer holiday in a remote cottage in the Welsh countryside. After hearing a scratching noise in the attic, Alison discovers some old dinner plates which have a strange floral pattern on them. When she traces the design onto paper, the flowers turn into owls. What is the connection between the plates, the gardener, the angry housekeeper and the legend of a village magician? Discover the weird power of the valley as the legend begins to unfold...
