[REL] The Secret Garden (1975)

From Imdb:
In 19th-century India, little Mary Lennox is suddenly orphaned by cholera. Her only living relative is her crook-backed uncle, Archibald Craven, so Mary is sent to live at his estate on the Yorkshire moors. Rude and unpleasant, Mary gradually begins to change as she explores the manor and grows to know some of the servants, particularly her maid Martha, and Ben Weatherstaff the gardener. With the help of a robin, Mary discovers a secret garden. She also discovers a cousin she never knew she had, and begins to form plans that transform her cousin, the garden, and ultimately herself.
This movie has been mentioned in the forums before as "wanted". I'm just making a formal request. It's available on DVD, so maybe someone has it.

Didn't realize earlier this version was wanted. This rip is by "Deadly" as posted on a.b.m.thelostmovies.

It's long, 7 episodes combined totaling 3:22, so if anyone has the DVD a full 2CD (or more) rip could give better quality (the pixelation is sometimes noticeable) but this is what I have. Enjoy!

Be warned!.........At 3 hours 20 minutes long any upgrade is always going to have a significant filesize!
This one has frustrated me right from the start :wall ...........I'd flagged this one up on FLM as worthy of an upgrade having noted FLL's comments concerning the quality of the 'Deadly' rip he released. My research unfortunately coincided with the forum taking a partial nosedive & certain elements of the thread disappearing. FLL very kindly provided me with the file specs & the forum has since returned to normal :clap
I deliberately avoided the many cheap copies available on eBay that were handed out with the UK Sunday newspapers.......running time seemed to be shorter & I was guessing the quality wouldn't be that great. Instead I ordered the genuine BBC/Readers Digest DVD & was less than amused when it came back as a deleted title!
After finally sourcing a new genuine DVD on eBay & it arriving the quality has surprised & somewhat disappointed me. This is a clumsily put together DVD with evidence of slight pixellation in the source (as FLL reported) & pretty major picture disturbance at the edges :wall I've carried out the bare minimum of cropping necessary to remove the disturbance but left the pixellation alone.

Ok, here it is. Please note, the quality isn't that high, even for an old DVD. That said, perhaps this is what is common for DVD editions of slightly older TV shows. I am curious to hear if marvingray's copy is of similar quality.

Hope you enjoy. Menu is in Swedish. It should be: Watch all - Select Episode - Swedish subtitles on/off

I found this old BBC production on Amazon Prime Video and made an upscale to 1080p.
It*s the movie, not the TV series like pillowbaker's DVD9.
This was the source: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/ ... 0sLMfd_1_1
