The Complete Only Fools And Horses - Not Made Like This Anymore

Advantages: Complete story of only fools, neat lay out, excellent viewing
Disadvantages: Still fairly expensive

The Complete Only Fools and Horses chronicles every single episode from the seven series', as well as each feature length and Christmas special. It is extremely well laid out, in chronological order, so that the show can be watched from start to end with no fuss. The DVDs are all top quality, the sound and pictures are excellent so viewing pleasure is not inhibited in any way. The packaging is also small enough to fit on to shelves, something not ...
...when it first came out, the price. Nearing £200 it was a lot of money for a show that doesn't run anymore, even one as revered as this. Since then, however, the price has fallen by half and so is very much the bargain for any only fools/comedy fan. In my opinion, if you're a fan of the show, a fan of comedy, or just a plain old casual viewer, get this. Apart from being iconic in its potrayal of british life, it is excellent fun. One for all the ...

Review of Only Fools And Horses - Christmas Specials (Box Set) (DVD)

I Don't be.....Overused phrase? Ok, One foot in a great box set.

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant at messing with your emotions, it has everything.
Disadvantages: Not a single one.

...me Victor when I'm on the phone complaining again. One thing I can't complain about is this great box set. Comprising of the full series 1-6 and the Christmas specials plus a couple of special features titled, "Britain's Best Sitcom" and "The story of One Foot in the Grave", there's certainly plenty of viewing. 12 discs in the set with 6 episodes per disc running for 30 min approx. The Christmas specials are roughly 60 to 90 min in length and are ...
...& Annette Crosbie respectively as The embittered and grumpy Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering and surprisingly patient wife Margaret. The series follows Victor & Margaret through Victor's recent early retirement as a security guard replaced by his modern equivalent, an electronic security system. Or by, "A box" as Victor so eloquently puts it. We are taken through Victor's subsequent days on end trying to amuse himself and find things to do ...

Review of The One Foot In The Grave - Series 1-6 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Dinnerladies, It's What's That Word, Not Elephant, Excellent

Advantages: Funny, charming, lovely, easy to watch, great characters, great acting
Disadvantages: No bonus features (almost lost it a star!)

...time we sat down together, Dinnerladies appeared before me. And as I did with Absolutely Fabulous I decided it would make a good thing to try and review and in case you haven't realised yet, this is me doing so. My review of Dinnerladies, the complete collection. Where's This Canteen? - About The Show In a fictional factory, in the less fictional Manchester, lies a small canteen to serve the workers of HWD Components with a range of tasty food. ...
...contains all 16 episodes of Dinnerladies which have been made. One thing to note is that the episode 'Christmas' from series 2 is listed as being on the second disc of the second series, however it is in fact on the first disc. So it's not missing, it's just moved next door! Confused me for a bit to say the least. Unfortunately this DVD set doesn't contain any additional features! No documentarys, deleted scenes, outtakes or anything! This is a little ...

Review of Dinnerladies - The Complete Series (DVD)

Not as Good as the First 9

Advantages: Better than series 11
Disadvantages: Plastic head is a bit flimsy

This Series is probably the turning point in The Simpsons popularity. Previous series are some of the greatest television ever made and this series does have some great episodes but there are definately a few weak ones. Lard of the Dance, Mom and Pop Art and Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble" are full of the problems that have plagued the newer series, i.e Homer having some stupid random job and too many guest stars for no particular reason. However ...
...chuckle as does Homer to the Max The full episode list is: Lard of the Dance The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace Bart the Mother Treehouse of Horror IX When You Dish upon a Star D'oh-in in the Wind Lisa Gets an "A" Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble" Mayored to the Mob Viva Ned Flanders Wild Barts Can't Be Broken Sunday, Cruddy Sunday Homer to the Max I'm with Cupid Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers" Make Room for Lisa Maximum Homerdrive ...
