Kane & Abel is the best selling novel by Jeffrey Archer, brought to the screen by Sony Pictures Television and tells the classic tale of two ambitious men, whose lives are bound together by fate and dominated by rivalry and greed. William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant - two men born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, their paths destined to cross in the ruthless struggle to build a fortune. Over sixty years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man. Review: Kane & Abel DVD - I had been waiting for years for this to come out on DVD. I kept checking and finally, to my delight, I discovered it was going to be available. I placed my pre-release order, and even though release was on 18 October, desertcart UK had delivered it to me in Australia by 23 October. Most Impressed!!! As for the DVD...definitely worth the wait, and the quality is good. It was a brilliant show when it was shown originally in the 80's and remains so. The two leads are great actors, and in my opinion are amongst the best around today...especially Sam Neil. Also, being a fan of The Munsters, it was great to see Fred Gwynne in something else...he is brilliant. I'm not really a fan of Jeffrey Archer, but this is a fantastic story. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Review: Best Mini Series in the 80s - I have periodically been checking the internet over the years, to see whether Kane & Abel was available on dvd. Every search gave me the same results and I even considered getting a video to dvd bootleg copy from ebay. For some reason, out of boredom,I checked today and to my surprise I found that its going to be released on dvd in october. For me, this was one of the best mini series shown in the 80s. I remember being transfixed with every episode. I havent seen this for years, they unfortantely dont show it on terrestrial tv anymore. The storyline was fantastic, and the acting and was first class. I dont know why it took so long for it to be released, but I am so glad that they did.

Good story - dated production and image quality
I remember watching this as an original TV series having previously read the book, and was looking forward to re-watching over a couple of cold winter nights. But, oh how times have changed! The story is still a good one and would probably benefit from a modern remake. However, the picture quality was disappointing (did we really watch TV with such poor image quality?) and some of the production values are rather antiquated. Given that it's still worth a watch.

Good series
I remember this series from way back (70s I think) and enjoyed it. It has aged very well and still very enjoyable.
