Advantages: none Disadvantages: loads of scenes and music scores have been cut out
this is the only fools and horses complete collection boxset but in my eyes it isnt because loads of scenes have been cut and musical scores changed or cut out and laughter tracks added onto episodes that didnt originally have a laughter track. so its not really the complete collection is it with all these things changed and added the episode a royal flush is the one that been edited the most loads of scenes have been cut and a laughter track added wich spoils the episode completely. i would strongly recommend anyone that want to see all the episodes in all their glory is to tape them off uk gold its better than this so called complete collection that the bbc have released im still waiting for the genuine complete collection. ...
Advantages: hours of laughter Disadvantages: none at all
Great value for money!!!! Who could have realised what this programme would become back in 1981! Originally only planned for one series and about to be scrapped when strikies and cutbacks at the bbc forced programme schedulers to repeat the first series, which is when the country fell in love with Del boy (David Jason), Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and Grandad (Lennard Pierce). The advantages of having the completeboxset are huge, because somehow you always seem to remember incidents and episodes which you just have to see, and with the boxset you can. Includes every episode including the christmas specials. As you follow the brothers journey from rags to riches, you also notice the friendship, scenarios and characters which all seem so real, maybe due to the fact that they were all based on people that creator John Sullivan knew ...
Advantages: Brilliant acting and plots. Each episode is a real tense gritty drama!! Pure Class! Disadvantages: NONE!!!!!!

DVD Description
A boxset containing ten of Chaplin's acclaimed films: THE KID (1921) - Stars charlie as the Tramp who brings up an abandoned baby only to lose the boy to his mother. A WOMAN OF PARIS (1923) - A Woman of Paris is the only film Charles Chaplin directed that he did not appear in (apart from a cameo). An effective drama about a simple girl from the country who goes to the city and becomes the mistress of a wealthy man. THE GOLD RUSH (1925) - Chaplin stars as the Tramp who moves to the Klondike during the goldrush and sets about trying to find his fortune. THE CIRCUS (1928) - Chaplin stars as the Tramp who, on the run from the police, joins a circus and ends up falling for a beautiful co-worker. CITY LIGHTS (1931) - A blind girl is restored to sight with the help of someone that she believes is a rich benefactor - but is, in fact, the Tramp; who has fallen in love with her. MODERN TIMES (1936) - Chaplin's last silent film. A production-line worker falls victim to a ongoing attempts to automate an assembly line. Following a series of mishaps, the unfortunate fellow finally finds happiness wih a street waif. THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940) - Chaplin's first talkie. In this classic film, Chaplin plays two parts; a simple Jewish barber and a dictator (who bears an uncanning resemblance to Adolf Hitler). The barber (who bears a striking resemblance to the dictator) is persecuted for his beliefs but then gets mistaken for the dictator and is given the opportunity to make a speech to the people (at which point Chaplin takes over and addresses the audience directly in a powerful and emotive address). MONSIEUR VERDOUX (1947) - A black comedy and a departure for Chaplin; a dapper bank worker marries rich women and then murders them so that he can support his real family. LIMELIGHT (1952) - A once-great music hall comedian who is now down on his luck is inspired by his love for a young ballerina to one last triumphant hurrah. A KING IN NEW YORK (1957) - Chaplin's last starring feature film. Chaplin plays a penniless European king who comes to New York to start a new life but finds he cannot stand the shallowness of american society and is forced to leave.
