Advantages: Fantasitc footage of the last days of steam Disadvantages: None
This is another in the eminently professionally produced DVD programmes on steam train released through Green Umbrella.
With the Very Best of British Steam of Yesteryear, you are given a real feast for the eyes and also, for the memory, of course. Well, for those of us old enough to remember when steam trains regularly plied their business up and down the main lines of the United Kingdom.
The last regular steam runs in Britain came to a very sad halt in August 1968. That's slightly under a year before the first manned space flight to the moon, for those interested in transport trivia.

Advantages: good acting and story Disadvantages: Very violent at times
I have seen this film many years ago now but never really followed what was going on as it did not appeal to me.

Advantages: Great story, excellent acting and cast, good music Disadvantages: None from me or hubby
just heard it too much now.
The DVD which we have does not have any bonus material but this is no great loss to me as I am not really a fan of it. The running time of the film is 1 hour and 34 minutes which I found to be a great length as it kept me interest from start to finish where as if they would have tried to make it longer I think I would have started to have got bored.
