Advantages: Takes you back down memory lane Disadvantages: Vince McMahon's superstars have done so much for wrestling these guys look really bad
But no thanks to be honest. Anyone who remembers pre-WWF wrestling in the UK on television is likely to be thinking of World of Sport wrestling on ITV. This DVD captures the best of that era. But after the last 15 years of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to name just a few, the best of the ITV era is nothing to brag about.
With a few exceptions. The Dynamite Kid and William Regal appeared in ITV's wrestling. Even nWo founding member Scott Hall made a handful of appearances.
But this DVD concentrates on the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. Big brutes of men who liked to throw their weight around. Don't expect any Chris Benoit or Eddie Guerrero (may he rest peacefully) wrestling classics, just big mean men in tights.

Advantages: Twelve and a half hours of quality entertainment Disadvantages: No extras, expensive
Introduction
I should have known better. My sister's birthday is in February and I thought I was being very organised by buying her a present nearly a month early. As soon as I saw this, I knew she'd love it. Unfortunately, so did I and after a week of resisting temptation, I gave in and watched it myself. And I have to admit it was worth it, even though I now have to get my sister something else?
The discs
Released last year to celebrate 50 years of the ITV channel, the set is made up of 8 discs in all, all key episodes from well-known dramas of the last 15 years or so. These include:
Cracker - One Day a Lemming Will Die
Brief synopsis: A young boy is found hanging from a tree in the middle of a wood. It is not at first clear whether he committed suicide or was murdered. Either way, his death seems to be linked to the fact that ...
Advantages: Many major moments of British wrestling history Disadvantages: Matches have been cut to destruction
Sataurday at 4 o'clock was something I looked forward to every week.
Watching the characters years later, the magic is till there although the overweight, aged competitors seem far less credible.
Any lover of British wrestling will marvel at some of the significant moments in it's history. Unfortunatly a lot of the atmosphehre and build up has been lost in the cutting room. Did this DVD have to be this short? There are hours and hours of archive footage and 96 minutes really doesn't scratch the surface.
There is plenty here to satisfy lovers of world of Sport, but a bit more variety would have been nice. The producers have played safe and heavily featured the biggest star, 'Big Daddy.' Some of the more skill mat technicians are conspicious by thier absence.
For those without Sky, british wrestling footage is like goldust, this ...
