And so, that's why I decided to buy the first series on DVD - to see how good it used to be in the beginning, regardless of whether or not it's run out of steam in the past few series. That, and also because I managed to find the ... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...series. So i asked for the box set for my birthday and so it arrived! I wont bore you going in to details of all of the films but what i can say is Peter Sellers is a genius in his portrail of Inspector clouseau. His ability to invoke laughter, use of language, props and his accent is up there with the best of all time. Also it comes with the final Pink Panther which was filmed after Peter Sellers died and was made up of outtakes in a kind of ...
...but its probably one of the best of the lot. Personally i didnt find the first Pink Panther to interesting because the characters were trying to find their feet.
