I remember watching this as a child in the seventies. I remember that it was on a Sunday & also have a memory of power cuts & not being able to finish watching it.
I've just been watching an episode of The Changes, so imagine my surprise at 0:52 when the actor David Garfield appears - he's featured in The Changes playing a character with a similar personality - and voice!
Kim Braden was perfect for the role and i loved the series. Sadly i can't find the original series anywhere, either DVD or on TH-cam so I'm very hapoy even just to see this one episode of the sequel 💖 Thank you so much for uploading. 👏💖👍
The actress playing Anne shirley was pretty and distinguished and to be honest i wish i could see the whole episode because this actress looks like Anne shirley as described in the book more than Megan Follows who is a very good actress but not a true red haired girl. I dislike the actress playing Marilla but this version doesn't seem so bad..
I have fond memories of this1 I loved it, mainly because of Kim Braden. I fell in love with her within minutes of the first episode, and have often thought of her during the last forty years. And here she is - to tug my heart strings all over again! God bless her, where ever she is now...
I have to give Kim Braden props - she tried. Her version of Anne is different from that of Megan Follows, but an interesting portrayal. Unfortunately she is let down by the other actors (except for Barbara Hamilton), the cheap production values (the fault with these older BBC miniseries is the stagy sets), and possibly the script and the director. You'd never think that she and Gilbert had strong feelings for each other, or that they were even friends. Yes, this version is closer to the book, and for that alone it should be viewed. But it pales in comparison to the Canadian version. It would be interesting to view the BBC's "Anne Of Green Gables" but unfortunately it fell victim to the "wiping" procedure that rendered many of these programs lost forever.
For those not liking this you have to put it in the context of the time. this was made 40 years ago. BBC gave it such a small budget and undervalued it so much they didn't even bother to save the original series (though paid for with PUBLIC - not advertiser's - monies). Production values were different. To us kids watching at the time it worked. Kim Braden's acting style now would be deemed over the top but it was entirely in keeping with the styles then but it worked for us then and she drew us in. OK, she looks a lot older than than the character but, again, that was the norm. Strict laws governing how minors worked meant that older actors had to play younger parts. Put the programme in the context of a different world and respect how we reacted at the time.
I LOVE this adaptation of the source material and I didn't see it first until a couple years ago! This time period in the books is so rarely adapted, and honestly Anne is definitely likely to go over-the-top in her mannerisms so I don't have any complaints about Kim Braden either!
Thank you for posting. But cannot believe the stupid BBC let the original (and best series) when she first comes to Green Gables, to be lost. idiots! Typical BBC - no respect. For many of us this was a big part of our childhoods and got us to read the books. Kim Braden did a great jo.
I absolutely loved Kim Braden in Anne of Green Gables and i looked forward to every episode back in the 70s, especially with Gilbert Blythe, i thought they were wonderful together. I hope to buy the series on dvd. Thank you for uploading x (xPSSx)
The actress playing Marilla is Barbara Hamilton, a Canadian who played Marilla in the Charlottetown Festival production of the musical version of "Anne of Green Gables" way back in the 1960s.
this was made cheaply ,and years before the megan fellows version,it was a gigantic success in the UK at the time,and brought the story to british kids in their thousands.It was actually repeated 2 or 3 times very quickly due to its popularity
Im sorry guys but this was years before The best AOGG movies came out so give the actors some credit for creating their roles! Although Megan and the other cast members from 1985 were so much better :)
Yes maybe but don't forget that in the late 19 th century young girls were very classical and wore long dresses with ruffles and had their hair tied in buns..So they looked older than their real age..
butcher the storyline? the talent of the actors between this production and the Sullivan one is debatable, but this BBC version pretty much covers the first three books exactly. The only Megan Follows/KS movie that is faithful to the book is the first one, and even that has a lot of of significant departures from the book
@phantomwaltz LOL!! I asked myself the same thing. For some odd reason, I warm up quickly to all of the BBC versions of books (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Little Women, etc.) regardless of the many versions I've seen elsewhere.
Best version of Anne of green gables
I remember watching this as a child in the seventies. I remember that it was on a Sunday & also have a memory of power cuts & not being able to finish watching it.
Well here I am, watching every show or movie that exists of Anne Of Green Gables ❤
I loved this! Having red hair....
for us who lived a life time ago and remember gems like this /wow where did the years go my friends brings a tear to my eye this does x
Scottish Canadians? Lol.
I love this version. It's closer to the books than the 1980s version. The 1980s version is my favorite.

The BBC lost the footage of the original series. Sadly unless they find it, it will never be seen again :(
You are so lucky to have all those subscribers just for your one and only vedio
In every version Gilbert is the lovesick puppy, desperate for Anne to notice him.
после фильма Sullivan с Megan Follows этот не воспринимается.
anne in avenlea deutsch
I wish there was more of it to watch.
What is this😂😂😂
I've never seen an adaptation yet that I like very much. The very latest Anne, who will be on Netflix, looks more promising. I hope so.
The actress playing Anne shirley was pretty and distinguished and to be honest i wish i could see the whole episode because this actress looks like Anne shirley as described in the book more than Megan Follows who is a very good actress but not a true red haired girl.

The thing that's missing is a beautiful soundtrack... it's a little stark and bare. You can't beat Hagood Hardy's music in the Sullivan AOGG. :)

LOL! Remember Timothy Cotton?...He had consumption. When he wasn't stealin'.

Muirmaiden watching it as a kid at the time I didn't notice the obvious stage sets, etc. I loved it.
I wondered why I couldn't find the first movie in this series.
this is not bad, it's just different than what we are used too.

TheHazeyQ I loved this series and was sad when I had to miss one episode!

Barbara Hamilton also played Eulalie Bugle in "Road to Avonlea".
The actress playing Marilla is Barbara Hamilton, a Canadian who played Marilla in the Charlottetown Festival production of the musical version of "Anne of Green Gables" way back in the 1960s.
Thanks.
this is wrong!!! marilla and mrs. lynde should switch actresses
this was made cheaply ,and years before the megan fellows version,it was a gigantic success in the UK at the time,and brought the story to british kids in their thousands.It was actually repeated 2 or 3 times very quickly due to its popularity
WHAT IS THIS
Im sorry guys but this was years before The best AOGG movies came out so give the actors some credit for creating their roles! Although Megan and the other cast members from 1985 were so much better :)
She looks like she is in her mid 20s not her med teens.
Yes maybe but don't forget that in the late 19 th century young girls were very classical and wore long dresses with ruffles and had their hair tied in buns..So they looked older than their real age..
Weird...stupid auto type...
What's with the wired accent? Is it suppose to be a southern or western accent? Terrible!
oh God this is so.....awful. just....bad.
AH! !!??Marilla??!!
in Anne of Avonlea, Anne is much older than she is in Anne of Green Gables.
butcher the storyline? the talent of the actors between this production and the Sullivan one is debatable, but this BBC version pretty much covers the first three books exactly. The only Megan Follows/KS movie that is faithful to the book is the first one, and even that has a lot of of significant departures from the book
The actress playing Marilla Cuthbert in this also played Eulalie Bugle in Road to Avonlea. Her name is Barbara Hamilton. It's on IMDb.
After productions like "Anne"3&4 (i.e. Lara Croft of Green Gables) I find this 1975, musicless performance remarkably easy to view. ^_^
@phantomwaltz LOL!! I asked myself the same thing. For some odd reason, I warm up quickly to all of the BBC versions of books (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Little Women, etc.) regardless of the many versions I've seen elsewhere.
i never heard of this!! i only knew of the one with megan follows. how could i have missed this ??? and by bbc too
What an annoying Ann. She does not know how to act!
so ugy gilbert
Yes, what is it with the accents? I'm curious as to where they are from, or if they're only put on, as was more common from that time.
Ruby talks weird,,,, these people have stange & kinda annoying accents :P
@rrrullgardina yea, i've been searching for the one with Megan Follows and Johnathan Crombie but this is the only full one i can find :/
wtf kind of Anne is this? this is upsetting
Is that marilla isn't she skinny in the book Anne looks like 26 and Mrs. Lynn in the book she was fat
