Driftwood (DVD)

Advantages: Quite good extras
Disadvantages: All in one long episode

...Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it!
