A Decade To Remember 1960s (Box Set)

Advantages: wholesome family entertainment, 36 episodes provide value for money
Disadvantages: this is colourised so a few niggles, nothing major

...to it and its '60's sensibilities in an episode. This box set is for series 1. We get to see Sam and Darrin meet, Darrin meets Endora, they marry and set up house (Sam is a housewife with all that that entails) and so on. It sets the tone for the remainder of the series. It is television you can watch with your children and everyone be entertained, though some things you see you may need to chat with younger children about later. By this, I am referring to smoking. If your child knows smokers, they will already understand about smoking.

Disadvantages: laugh track kept on - can be a bit annoying

...COST: £15.99 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Tesco Extra CERTIFICATE: PG RUN TIME: 270 minutes REGOIN: 2 For those who are either not huge fans, or who've not yet acquainted themselves with the legend that is 'Dads army', the fantastic brisitsh comedy fom the 1960's.... It's a comedy series that used to be broadcast on the BBC starring : Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier, Jimmy Beck, Arnold Ridley, John Laurie, Ian Lavender, Clive Dunn and many others, however not with as long a roles. It is about a group of men who are appointed as the home guards of thier home town, Walmington-On-Sea.

This box set publication consists of all of the entire 1st series of Dad... Read review
