Lorna Doone - Lovestory

Описание: Sooo, a dear friend of mine introduced me to this awesome mini series by BBC, Lorna Doone. I was instantly swept off my feet, because it is that awesome, make sure to check it out!
Then, the next day another dear friend brought the wonderful Song "Lovestory" back into my mind, and then the two of them just made 'click' and turned into a vid idea! Here it is, the story of Lorna Doone and John Ridd presented to Lovestory. Those who already know this series will agree with me the lyrics fit like nothing else could!

For those who don't know the series, here's a short summary:
John Ridd has to witness his father dying by the hands of a band of outlawed nobles, called the Doone family. He swears bloody revenge, but a few months later he encounters a girl, slightly younger than him who saves him after he fell from a waterfall. It seems he never really forgot her, because when he visits the same place years later and sees her there, he instantly remembers. The two of them fall in love, though the young woman, Lorna, reveals herself to be a Doone. Against all rules they decide to keep their love a secret, because Lorna is all but betrothed to Carver, the heir of the Doones clan.
But of course things cannot be hidden for all eternity and a bloody fight ensues between the local farmers around John Ridd and the Doones, mixing just with the civil war dividing the country at that time. Suddenly it is not only Carver wanting to seperate John and Lorna, because on his deathbed the old clan chief reveals a grave secret: Lorna is not his granddaughter but the only living heir of an old noble family and whoever marries this lost daughter will be able to claim her lands. Lorna leaves for London and John stays behind, waiting for Lorna to write - but she never does. Meanwhile he gets entangled in the civil war and as he is brought to London on trial as a rebel, he sees Lorna again, all the noble lady. Distraught he confronts her and it is revealed that Lorna's maidservant Gwenny intercepted their letters. The two of them make up, but John is still on trial. He escaped a death sentence by promising he will finish off the Doones once and for all. The final battle ensues and John and the royal soldiers are victorious. Carver on the other hand is able to escape, and he appears on none other day but at Johns and Lorna's wedding, shooting Lorna so none other will get her. Thinking his love dead John rides after Carver, they fight and in the end Carver dies in quicksand. Returning home John learns Lorna is still alive and she soon wakes up. The whole Ridd family is happy now, without the Doones, amongst them John and Lorna.
