All Creatures Great And Small - Series 6 - Complete DVD

Advantages: Brilliant animation, lots of interesting extras
Disadvantages: Only 6 episodes

...The animations on this disk are brilliant, as ever. I was initially slightly disappointed by the fact that there are only 6 short episodes on the disk, but the extras are really fascinating! This left me undecided - would it be better to have the whole of series 2 on one disk, without the extras, or is it worth splitting like this? On the whole, I think I learnt so much from the extras that I would prefer to have only the 6 short episodes and learn from the narrative. For example, the first time I saw a 'rehearsal' of a scene, I wondered why the lip sync was suddenly so poor. It took me a while to realise that these were actors, miming along to the 'real' audio tape. The actions of these actors are the body movements which are subsequently animated - a fascinating process. It's touching how proud all the staff are of working... Read review

Advantages: A lot of laughs for your money
Disadvantages: Some "filler" episodes

...For those of you who don't know, Red Dwarf is a sitcom basedin space , based around a Scouse slob named Dave Lister, a dead crewmate named Arnold Rimmer, a droid and a creature evolved from a domestic cat. Absolutely brilliant viewing. Having already bought just the shows shows volume one last year, I saw the need to buy this set. Series 5 and 6 have always been my favourite, and I had to own them. The episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" from series 6 won an international award for it's story. I wasn't dissapointed, and even though series 7 and 8 are a bit of a let down, owning the complete set of Red Dwarf is opportunity that can't be missed. This set has 6 dvds, as series 7 and 8 have 8 episodes each, which may explain why the set is generally more expensive than the first set. There also arent any extras on the dvds, but I have never...

Advantages: The Finest British Comedy of the past 16 years
Disadvantages: Some poor sound quality.

...The sixth series of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor's classic sci fi sitcom, and possibly the finest of all the series'. Ever since a young boy way back in 1988 i have been hooked on Red Dwarf and it has had me in stitches ever since. 6 more classic Red Dwarf episodes are contained within this DVD in bite sized chunks. For those unaware of what Red Dwarf is, allow me to spread a little light on the show. Dave Lister, a no good space bum who enjoys nothing more than sugar puff sandwiches, a warm lager and a glass of cold vindaloo sauce in the morning, is the lowest ranked member on the space mining ship - Red Dwarf. Lister is caught by the ships captain having smuggled an illegal cat on board, and as a punishment is forced into suspended animation for the remainder of their current mission. Whilst in 'stasis' an unfortunate event occurs which... Read review
