False Murder Charge Puts Him In Jail | For The Term of His Natural Life | Full Drama Mini-Series - Justice will not be held prisoner! Marcus Clarke's epic novel of the horrors and degradation of the Australian penal system is one of the great classics of Australian literature and the subject of this classic 3 part mini-series, presented here over 2 discs. Disinherited and driven from his home in England when he discovers the secret of his true parentage, young Richard Devine (Colin Friels, Malcolm) changes his name to Rufus Dawes but is then falsely accused of murdering his real father. Transported to the notorious Port Arthur in Van Diemen’s land "for the term of his natural life", Dawes is gradually transformed from the bright and witty young Englishman into a hardened and desperate convict. He is unafraid to attempt the most daring escapes or brutal clashes with fellow prisoners and his jailers-including the cruel Lt. Maurice Frere (Rod Mullinar, Patrick) or the troubled Reverend North (Anthony Perkins, Psycho). "Dawes'" last hope for vindication is his passion for Sylvia (Penelope Stewart), daughter of prison Commandant, Major Vickers (Patrick Macnee, The Avengers). That hope is put to the ultimate challenge by her own dark secrets. For The Term of His Natural Life is a sweeping historical prison drama miniseries based on Marcus Clarke's classic novel, following young Richard Devine (Colin Friels) after he is disinherited upon discovering the secret of his true parentage. Changing his name to Rufus Dawes, he is falsely accused of murdering his real father and transported to the notorious Port Arthur penal colony in Van Diemen's Land 'for the term of his natural life.' There, the once bright and witty Englishman is gradually hardened by forced labor, brutal wardens, and the cruelty of Lt. Maurice Frere (Rod Mullinar), while the troubled Reverend North (Anthony Perkins) wrestles with his own demons. Unafraid of daring escapes or savage clashes with fellow convicts and jailers, Dawes clings to one final hope of vindication: his passion for Sylvia (Penelope Stewart), daughter of prison Commandant Major Vickers (Patrick Macnee). That fragile hope is put to its ultimate test by secrets that threaten to destroy everything he has left.
