Advantages: Very Clever Animation Disadvantages: Few Real Laughs
the best ones are developed into the animations.
On occasion these are funny, and by funny I mean laugh out loud funny. But for the most part they are merely slightly amusing anecdotes on various, mostly bland, subject matter and observations on life. More often than not it is the background characters that will do something that makes you smile by doing something funny, but ultimately the laughs just aren't there consistently enough for me.
There is no doubt that it is very clever, and the idea behind to whole thing is an original one but after the first few interviews you begin to wonder when the laughs will begin. For example there is a Welsh Dog, not sure of the breed but it is one of those dogs with folds of skin, well it just isn't funny at all, not in any way shape or form. Perhaps it's me. Perhaps my sense of humour is flawed, but ...
Advantages: Good, solid family entertainment Disadvantages: Seeing animals sick or dying
Introduction
As a child, I always dreamed of being a vet, predominantly because of watching AllCreaturesGreat and Small. Those not yet in their 30s will probably not have heard of this series, which was broadcast in the early 1980s and is based on the books by James Herriot about his own life as a vet in the 1930s and 1940s. I was thrilled to get hold of the first series recently - unfortunately this show doesn't seem to have been rebroadcast recently, at least not on the main channels.
The author
James Herriot, real name Alf White, has written a series of books about his life as a vet in Yorkshire beginning in the 1930s and taking us up to his old age. The popularity of the books led to the filming of the TV series.
The TV series
There have also been films made of the books, before the TV series, starring John Alderton as ...
Advantages: The early days are the best Disadvantages: There are only 24 episodes!
By now it should be clear to regular readers of my ops that Friends is one of the things that rocks my world. Im going to write a detailed overview of all the episodes in series2 and give some details about the boxset.
The boxset I have consists of three discs, the older series' have different styles to the newer ones. Seasons 1-6 are available for around £15 now in shops and on the internet. The newer seaons cost much more, unless of course you know about the wonder of play.com and cdwow. Newer boxsets cost arounf £80 in HMV and MVC but they can be had for around £40 on the internet, and thats even before you check out Ebay!
The reason websites such as play can offer better prices is that they import region 4 dvds which are good on region 2DVD players and PS2's.
Series2 is a certificate 12 which means that parental ...
