I started watching the series of Catherine Cookson on UK gold, but as it was on until quite late sunday night I set my record on Sky. however, for some reason it kept failing to record- I was quite upset by this so I treated myself to the whole collection on DVD. And what a collection it is! I have watched all 24 discs and there is not one I dont like! There have been countless occasions on which I've felt that warm fuzzyness that can only be achieved by a very well made love story! I've cried and laughed and gasped- these dvds stir every emotion and are an excellent buy. Some of the stories are quite long- some being upto 3 hours but every minute is as awesome as the last and I never experienced a moment of boredom!
