Excellent DVD, alittle bit different from previous stories, as this one involves Bobs mum and dad in it (where did they spring from). My son loves BTB, and has many of his dvds in his collection. We had read the book about this story before we actually purchased the DVD, but we were still both very pleased. They always have very well known actor/actresses guest starring in them (well doing the voices anyway) A star rating !!!!
