Advantages: Has the best portrail of Miss Marple ever Disadvantages: No special features
..., the relationship between Marple and the inspector in these storys is a little more strained. He thinks she's an interfering old busy body, which she is, but she always solves trhyings in the end.
The colour is perhaps a bit 'washed out' but this is common with the trancefer from 35 mm to DVD. However this does actuay add to the quality of the setting.
However, you may not enjoy these versions if you know the books extremely well, because the plots are changed from the books mainly to make the programmes flow better. The biggest change is in 'the mirror cracked'
Explaining the plots would possibly spoil the series but the episodes are better than the more recent Geraldine McEwan performances. (which for me are far too over acted)

Advantages: the plots keep you watching for hours Disadvantages: there is only 4 films
...This boxset is brilliant. If your an agathachristie fan you will love this. The most famous fim of them all is included (murder on the orient express). In this you see famous faces such as sean connery and albert finney. This is a great film seeing the murder of one man. There are many clues and many red herrings. For those of you who have not seen this film i will not spoil it by saying what happens, all i will say is if you go on the orient express lock your door.
The next best film in the collection is death on the nile, this has a cast of peter ustinov and david niven to name just a few. This is probably my favourite as it is set in the gorgeous setting of Egypt. Not only is the film brilliant and has many deaths it also has a big twist which for a first time viewer is unexpected. The views and sights you see of Eygpt really...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: loads of scenes and music scores have been cut out
...this is the only fools and horses completecollectionboxset but in my eyes it isnt because loads of scenes have been cut and musical scores changed or cut out and laughter tracks added onto episodes that didnt originally have a laughter track. so its not really the completecollection is it with all these things changed and added the episode a royal flush is the one that been edited the most loads of scenes have been cut and a laughter track added wich spoils the episode completely. i would strongly recommend anyone that want to see all the episodes in all their glory is to tape them off uk gold its better than this so called completecollection that the bbc have released im still waiting for the genuine completecollection....
