Mine too! They do such a phenomenal job, once again putting Hollywood to shame...with the writing by Paul Abbott, and the incredible acting, directing, etc. It has to be one of the best things I've ever seen. Another great one is Oliver's Travels that PBS. broadcast in 1994, also now on UA-cam.
@@FreddieGodofRock is that Gullivers travels? I am very much interested in more Mobile Masterpieces but not sure I want to spend this much time watching something based solely on adultery.
First time I saw it on PBS, I felt like I'd struck gold--and I've felt that way every time I've watched it since. There aren't enough superlatives to describe it.
I saw this on Channel 7 here in Australia when it first aired. Loved it from the get-go! Everyone is so deliciously badly behaved 😅 and Robson Green is at his sexiest. Thank goodness I was able to track down the DVD box set from the US in the years before UA-cam.
the sign of a good story is the emotional rollercoaster ride you take as the reader/watcher. Watched it in '97 and really loving watching it again. Thanks for the upload.
I had to pause it… Am too excited!!! Must “ speak up “!! Green’s Character Owen is so likeable. What a smart, fun, go-after-what-he-wants, with enough confidence, to believe in him. The obvious bond between dad and son, I’m really enjoying!!! The person posting these mini series, ( seems young to me …?) has given me (+ 1,000’s ) others, a big Treat! The luxury of watching all 4 now, is adding to my weekend relaxation. Thank you so much! Well sourced, and a bloody sound idea!!😊😊👋🏻👋🏻😊😊😊
This was a GREAT show. I loved it the first time, and continue to love it. The writing is superb, from farce to serious drama, and the actors are more than up to the job of fleshing it out. Bravo, PBS. Just fantastic!!!!!!
This is an absolute delight!!!!!!! Best series ever shown anywhere! I loved it 100yrs ago and I Love it even more now! I kind of resent Russell Baker making that snide remark: not to expect "high literary entertainment." Just b/c this is written in the 20th century does not mean it can't rival any of the classics. This has everything: drama, comedy, romance, class warfare, jealousy, envy.....what more can one want? Such amazing acting and incredibly clever writing. The nuances of real life are stunning in their accuracy and execution. These British actors and writers are such pros; once again, putting Hollywood to shame. And the music, so beautifully interwoven, plays an integral part in the magic of it all. Absolutely adore every bit of Part 1, 2, 3, and The Sequel. Thank you so much for this and thank you, Paul Abbott for writing it (without the craziness of Shameless! lol) 😻
@@el7jake I don't think it was an apology, more of a criticism, I believe. And how beautifully written, too, CLAIRE VOYANT. Excellent observation!! This was pure magic, as you said.....along with the music, making it extra special.
@@FREDDIEROCKSS Thank you so much! No, it was clearly not an apology. Although I do love (Did love.....RIP) Russell Baker. I just resent ppl putting down modern writers, as not being "classic." But, in years to come, these new stories will also be considered classic, if they meet the test of time, which, this Reckless, I'm certain, most definitely will. It's truly fabulous.....And timeless!
I’m from Texas and am in love with Robson Green. I’m pretty much binging on his talent. I watch all the British crime dramas I can , I came across Robson Green in a series called Touching Evil and I was hooked on him immediately…and he can sing! Thanks for this upload ❤️
This is about the 7th time I'm watching this! It is the BEST thing ever shown on PBS, where I saw it almost 20 yrs ago. I've been looking for it ever since! A year or so ago someone posted it, but in pieces---not nearly as much fun as watching it in its entirety. Thank you so, SO much! 😄 This was my first introduction to Robson (Gorgeous!) Green. He's been my favorite actor since! I absolutely Love him!! Francesca Annis is unbelievable, gorgeous as well, and what a pro! Michael Kitchen is priceless also. This whole series is amazingly fantastic! This is definitely my favorite production of all time! Another great one is Oliver's Travels, (starring Alan Bates and Sinead Cusack, (Jeremy Irons's wife), and the incomparable Bill Paterson) also on PBS many, many moons ago and would love to catch that again. Anyone know where I might do that?? Thanks again!
What a find! Enjoying this marvellous serialised film exceptionally. Many thanks for the share. The 4 major actors are fabulously (tho' inhabitually) compatible. Good show.
It's funny that this first of 3, actually 4, in the series has almost 5,000 views, the 2nd one has 3,000, and the 3rd has almost 2,000, with The Sequel around the same. I'm just wondering how people could watch the first one and not continue with the rest?? This is The best thing I have ever seen on TV (PBS showed it @20 yrs ago), or, even in the movies, or Anywhere! Love, love, LOVE it!! 😄
View counter increases after some small time of viewing, no need to view entire episode, so people not interested just exit after small while. To record, numbers now: 54551, 26692, 20527 and 28249 (more than 3 maybe because considered as a new film).
@@niceclaup1 The music is "traumatizing"!?! We must not be listening to the same music. I absolutely Love it! The way it weaves in and out, quick and jaunty, then, soft and slow at other times, so appropriate depending on what the mood calls for. It's so absolutely perfect! Just like Reckless, Robson Green and Francesca Annis, Michael Kitchen, and the rest.
Francesca anise is such a stunningly beautiful woman and apart from that she's also a very very fine actor and Robson green when he was younger was gorgeous and also he can act as well thank you for this very much needed ☺️
Thank you Sue! I have loved this show since 1997. Robson Green was so hot, Anna Ferris delightful, and Michael Kichen perfect. I have the full set on DVD but no longer have a DVD. It will always be one of my favorites. An unknown masterpiece of love, comedy, and even mystery.
Many thanks for posting Reckless. I owned it on DVD and loaned it out to my circle of friends where it went missing. Good to be able to watch it again.
She's aged incredibly well. And she's always retained that feminine allure which made her so attractive over the decades. One of her most memorable performances is in Poliakoff's Stronger Than The Sun. Typically, the BBC never put it on disc.
Scottish Girl Michael Kitchen is towering as a genius, an actor, a charmer, but also not of great physical stature, tho’ so easy on the eyes. Francesca Annis is so specially beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I've heard the same about many actors and actresses. My cousin was an extra in the George Clooney/Renee Zellweger American football movie and said they are small in stature
I first watched this series in 2000 (even bought the VHS lol). And I simply loved the chemistry between Francesca and Robson. Fast forward to 2021 and I accidentally saw your video in my recommendations...I watched it again and needless to say re-bought the series in DVD format haha. I have to say Francesca Annis is simply wonderful.
As a yank I must say that I love british drama/mysteries/crime shows. Some of the "accents/dialects" take a bit of attentive close listening to in getting to understand them (sometimes having to watch the show more than one time), but eventually I start to understand them.
SueSnellLives! Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece! I seen it (from other source) several times, maybe 5-7 or so. There are three masterpieces of that late 1990-s with three of my beloved actors: Reckless (1997-8) with Francesca Annis and David Bradley, Our Mutual Friend (1998) with David Bradley and Keeley Hawes, Wives and Daughters (1999) with Keeley Hawes and Francesca Annis.
I'm watching this because I saw Robson Green in another show and I really liked him and this was recommended. But I don't really see the attraction between the two of them and apparently she does not love him. Having said that, I have realized that most women do not act on their own feelings but they wait til some guy throws himself at them either in marriage or otherwise and then they simply accept it. I certainly don't see her as an attractive woman other than she looks okay. I say that of course cuz in America more is demanded of looks than in England and even Europe with the exception of Italy and France. I will try to finish this show and try part 2 and see if it becomes more convincing.
Oooh no no no ! What he did was very very wrong, manipulative, selfish and hurtful. He’s virtually stalked her constantly despite her repeated attempts to tell him no and then he plays really dirty and exposes her husbands affair causing her a world of pain for his own selfish reasons only so he can get in there when she’s vulnerable and hurt. How the hell can he say he loves her ? He doesn’t even know her ffs ! Dirty underhanded and extremely manipulative ☹️
Of course she is flattered a man fifteen years younger handsome body like a boxer falls in love with her,a very persistent man and add to it her husband not the person who she thinks
As a first-time viewer, I was struck by the similarity in subtle facial expressions between Robson Green and the late great Alan Rickman. Could they possibly be related? The show is most enjoyable. Thanks!
I don’t see a similarity at all. They are not related. Robson plays on another Masterpiece series also called Grandchester. And he’s an older chap in this.

Yes! All the actors in this are wonderful 🎉

"Reckless" is and always will be my favorite presentation by Masterpiece. It's simply marvelous.
Mine too! They do such a phenomenal job, once again putting Hollywood to shame...with the writing by Paul Abbott, and the incredible acting, directing, etc. It has to be one of the best things I've ever seen.

Freddie….. I’m with you. I’ve watched it a few times too and still love it each time. Rob Green is all on PBS Granchester and a bit older.

Robson Green is wonderful in this. Open, natural, wonderful actor. So handsome as well.

Thanks for posting this, watched this back when it was broadcast on ITV. Hard to believe its 21 years ago.
Agreed, and I still love it!
My all time favorite still watching since 1997
I first saw the main actor in Catherine cookson films. He's awesome ☺
Robson Green is just too much .The scene where it is raining and he quite unabashedly proclaims his love .....most romantic scene ever.
Much better than Hugh Grant and that terrible Andy McDowell

Yes!!, thanks for posting this. I love Robson.
He's a diabetic and he's giving him toast marmalade and orange juice for breakfast. That'll do it :)
It was his father giving him the breakfast, not the other way around
Fantastic just loved it watching in lockdown thank you from Australia
For him to choose Vivien over Anna blew my mind. There is NO comparison between the two.
Insanity
Her smile ,eyes beauti wow!!!
Seriously i watched 10 time , i falled in with love with reckless 1234, thanks for uploading

Dont insult PN - far better looking than him!!!

I tend to agree plus I'd have thought she'd be too devastated to have revenge sex with Robson.
Seriously. The creepy/stalker dynamic is a put off. Stringer is unstable, not romantically inspiring.
sounds like Robson Greens real love life. Google him!🤣🤣
Great series
i remember seeing this on pbs. i thought robson was so handsome and annis had beautiful hair~
Covid vaccine yesterday,and this afternoon spent watching this🤗
