Drop Dead Fred/The Parole Officer/Guest House Paradiso (Box Set)

Advantages: Best Medical Drama Around
Disadvantages: None So Far...

...'work up' the symptoms and try various treatments to diagnose the condition, racing against time to save the patient. The Product The box set has six discs, containing all 24 episodes in the series and a few short bonus features - they are spread out amongst the discs, so you might have to look for them - the sleeves don't say which one is where. The box set is not luxurious, and has no booklets etc. it comprises a cardboard sleeve with 6 thin individual cases for each disc. The bonus features are notable only for 'Evening With House' feature where the cast are interviewed. There is a short blooper reel and a couple of background shots of the cast adopting silly accents etc. There are a couple of interesting commentaries on two episodes though. I got it online for about £35 - which is about fair give the number of episodes... Read review

Advantages: loads of extras
Disadvantages: third film a bit poor

...video inspired by Evil Dead, which is......different. PACKAGING These four discs come in a book-type folding-out thingy. This is housed in a sleeve with great graphics on the front. Inside is also contains a short leaflet containing synopsii and lists of extras. The main colours are black and red and it's a good-quality shiny little package. ALL IN ALL This is a great boxed set. If you've only seen the first film and loved it then, instead of buying it as a single, you'd might as well get this- it's really worth it with all the extras. The first two films are great and, if you're into low-budget comical horror then you should really take a look. The third film is like Marmite and I don't need to say anything more than that. Loads and loads of extras... Read review
