Drovers' Gold
Overview
This show is about a couple broken and cheated Welsh families that decide in order to live they need to drive their cattle beasts to London for the best price. Unfortunately, there's the evil landholder that wants to kick everyone out of the valley and see the good families starve and go to workhouses. His conniving treachery enables several issues to arise while the fellas and a few more travellers in their party attempt to persevere. Talk about cattle plague and cholera outbreaks, punishment for driving cattle on a Sunday, and other interesting issues are just a fraction of what six episodes will bring you. Adventure, horses, and a young Ray Stevens without a shirt on.
This production, originally released in 1997, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 7.0 across its 1 season.
