Drama > 30 GBP and more Drama

Perhaps the best TV show ever made

Advantages: Characters you will grow to love, engaging stories, beautiful crafted drama
Disadvantages: Weak final two seasons, secondary characters are hit-and-miss

...beginning to end. What sets Dawson's Creek apart from all other comparable shows, is the quality of the writing and the acting. The dialogue is stylised, unrealistic, but also very literate. The interchanges between the characters are always a joy to watch. Its funny, and, as I mentioned, while the dialogue itself isn't realistic, the emotions being conveyed are universal and familiar - I'm sure everyone remembers the period of their lives that this ...
...finale, is an amazing piece of drama, and more than redeems the weaker final years. Overall, Dawson's Creek is a well acted, well made, well written show with diverse characters, interesting stories, beautiful locations and an excellent soundtrack. Recommended to everyone who can remember the troubles of their teens! ...

Review of Dawson's Creek - Series 1-6 (Box Set) (DVD)

woth every minute

Advantages: Excellent, heart-warming stories
Disadvantages: Some are quite long- upto 3 hours

...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 ...

Review of Catherine Cookson Complete Collection (DVD)

A collection worth owning

Advantages: A timeless collection, with a lot for your money.
Disadvantages: Seems a lot of money.

...a fantastic box set, almost The Complete Works of Shakespeare in DVD form! The range and sheer volume of plays which is covered in this box set is phenomenal. The quality of the acting is incredible, and the plays, although all in the seemingly confusing Shakespearean language are accessible due to the talent of the actors and their outstanding performances. I cannot claim to have seen every one of the plays in this collection, however the majority, ...
...my school we were shown the BBC versions of whatever play we were studying at the time. Although some, like 'King Lear', have times similar to the sections on the heath which drag, the relationships between the characters and their warped intentions are cleverly but boldly outlined. The viewer is never at a loss as to what is going on, not least because of some clever use of costume, where characters are teemed in matching or complimenting colours ...

Review of The BBC TV Shakespeare Collection (DVD)

Tenko - Complete boxed set all 3 series

Advantages: excellent drama very well acted
Disadvantages: very few extras

This is one of the best dramas of the 1980s. The box set has all 3 series and the bonus 'reunion' episode. The series concentrates on the women's POW camp. The three series are based on real life experiences. Despite this being an excellent drama it is not the type of thing you can say 'I enjoyed watching that' Despite it having a 12 certificate I personally wouldn't recommend it as suitable for anyone under 15. During the three series we see the ...
...rations being cut, low medical supplies and death could only be around the corner for one or even all of the women. The cast are fantastic. Stephanie Cole (better known as Diana Trent in Waiting for God) as Doctor Beatrice and Burt Kwouk as the sinister Captain Yamauchi to name but two. The cast changed slightly each series but I have given a quick write up of some of the major characters. Dr Beartice Mason - As the first series starts she is the ...
