Product Description
A rollicking romantic adventure set in 17th century England. The country is torn by civil war, and the countryside is ruled by the bloodthirsty Doone family. As a young boy, John Ridd sees his own father murdered by the Doones. Years later, he falls in love with a beautiful country girl, never suspecting that she is the annointed Queen of the Doones.Based on the novel by Richard Blackmore, LORNA DOONE is a classic tale of romance and bravery, vengeance and villainy.

Star-crossed lovers, feuding family, royal plots, noble destinies, and salt-of-the-earth heroes. No wonder R.D. Blackmore's romantic classic has been a perennial favorite. Amelia Warner (Michael Caine's innocent child bride in Quills) is Lorna, the beautiful young brunette "queen" of the feral Doone clan in this latest adaptation, a handsome 2.5-hour co-production between the BBC and A&E. The once noble line now lives out of a swamp fortress and preys off the local farmers and tradesmen, but the family patriarch (Peter Vaughan) has hatched a plot to win back his title and his land. Handsome John Ridd (Richard Coyle) swears vengeance against the Doones when they murder his father, but he falls for Lorna, and the rakish, ruthless Doone scion (Aiden Gillen, who swaggers through the drama with a perpetual sneer) refuses to give up his claim on the girl without a fight.
