to some of the greatest matches ever played.1971 vs Australia, 4th Test, Sydney, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14 January:An incredible performance by Ray Illingworth's men which ended with England's largest victory over Australia since 1936/37. 96 runs ahead after the first innings, England put Australia to the sword in the second with Boycott's 142 not out and 50's for D'Oliveira and Illingworth helping England to 319 for 5 declared, setting Australia 416 to win. Jon Snow then ripped in to the Australians with figures of 7 for 40 reducing them to 116 all our, giving England a comprehensive victory by 299 runs.1972 vs Australia, 4th Test, Headingley, 27, 28, 29 July:A dynamic performance by England that saw the Australians defeated with two days of the Test match remaining. The Australian batsmen were skittled out for 146 in the first innings and 136 in the second, 'deadly' Derek Underwood doing the damage with figures of 10 for 82. England were left with a mere 20 runs to win after reaching 263 in their first innings, and swiftly rapped up victory by 9 wickets.1974 vs India, 2nd Test, Lord's, 20, 21, 22, 24 June:Mike Denness won the toss and elected to bat, a decision that was fully justified by a massive total of 629 runs with himself, Dennis Amiss and Tony Grieg all making centuries. India, forced to follow-on having made 302 in the first innings, were then dismissed for an amazing 42 runs, giving England victory by an innings and 285 runs.1975 vs Australia, 2nd Test, Lord's, 31 July, 1, 2, 4, 5 August:Having been annihilated in the first Test the omens were not good for England, but a new look team, including test debutante David Steele, had other ideas. Winning the toss Tony Grieg elected to bat and England made 315 with a debut 50 for David Steele, 96 for Tony Grieg and 69 for Alan Knott. Australia made 268 then England piled on the runs, led by John Edrich's 175, to declare their second innings at 436 for 7, a lead of 483. Australia were left to hold on to a hard-fought draw.1975 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Headingley, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 August:An incredible game for many reasons. David Steele top scored in both England innings, scoring 73 of England's 288 first innings total and 93 of their 291 second innings. In between debutante Phil Edmonds took 5 for 20 to reduce Australia to 135 all out. Australia started their second innings needing 445 runs and the game was interestingly poised at 220 for 3 coming into the final day before vandals, campaigning for the release from prison of a convicted criminal, sabotaged the Rugby Ground end of the pitch with knives and oil forcing the match to be abandoned.1977 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge, 28, 29, 30 July, 1, 2 August:An excellent England performance with Geoffrey Boycott spearheading both innings, having come back into the team after a 30 match exile, with 107 in the first (his 99th century) and 80 not out in the second. It was also notable for the debut of one I. T. Botham who celebrated his call up by taking 5 of the Australian first innings wickets, a feat matched in the second by Bob Willis. England ultimately took the game by 7 wickets and powered to a 2-0 series lead.Bonus One Day International:1977 vs Australia, 1st One Day International, Old Trafford, 2nd June:A tight opening game in the One Day series with the result in the balance right up to the final run being scored. Australia set England 170 to win and at 125 for 6 it looked beyond them. But Alan Knott held the innings together and England hung on to win by 2 wickets.

matches with England at their flamboyant best.1981 vs Australia, 3rd Test, Headingley, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 JulyIt was the stuff of legends, and is unquestionably the most famous game of cricket ever played. England were down and out following-on 227 runs behind Australia's first innings total of 401/9. Enter Ian Botham and a sensational 149 runs from 148 balls nosed England ahead by 129 runs. Amazingly it was a bridge too far for the Aussies as Bob Willis ripped through them taking 8 for 43 and making it only the second time in history that the side following-on had won.1981 vs Australia, 4th Test, Edgbaston, 30, 31 July, 1, 2 AugustIt looked a routine victory for Australia and a fairly ordinary match. England were bowled out in the first innings for 189 then bowled Australia out for 258. England added 219 in their second innings, leaving Australia a seemingly facile 151 runs to win. They seemed to be coasting to victory until up stepped England's super-hero Ian Botham. His 5 wickets for 1 run in 28 balls snatched the game away from Australia and put England 2-1 up in the series.1982 vs Australia, 4th Test, Melbourne Cricket Ground, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 DecemberAn amazingly tight game in which for the first time in any Test where all 40 wickets fell, all innings totals were within 10 runs of each other. Australia led by 3 runs after the first two innings and were set 292 to win after England's second innings. An inspired spell of bowling by Norman Cowans (6 for 77) looked to have secured a relatively comfortable victory and Australia still needed 74 runs with one wicket remaining. However an incredible stand of 70 runs between Thompson and Border looked to have snatched victory until Thompson edged Botham (his 100th wicket against Australia) to Miller in the slips, giving England victory by 3 runs.1985 vs Australia, 5th Test, Edgbaston, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 AugustA crucial game with the series poised at 1-1 with 2 Tests remaining. Australia made 335 in the first innings then England ran riot with Tim Robinson (148), David Gower (218) and Mike Gatting (100*) taking England to a declaration at 595-5. The draw was still likely until Richard Ellison took the top order apart, eventually returning figures of 10 for 104 as England won by an innings and 118 runs.1986 vs Australia, 1st Test, Brisbane, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 NovemberEngland came into the series having been written off, but the hacks were made to eat their words. A brilliant 138 from Botham in the first innings took England to 456 then Graham Dilley's 5 for 68 kept Australia to 248 and forced the follow-on. In spite of Geoff Marsh's 110 Australia could only add 282 leaving England with 75 runs to win, and an easy victory by 7 wickets.1986 vs Australia, 4th Test, Melbourne Cricket Ground, 26th, 27th, 28th DecemberAn incredible performance from Mike Gatting's men saw them clinch the 5 game series 2-0 against the odds and in emphatic fashion. Australia battered first and were torn apart by Gladstone Small and Ian Botham who took 5 wickets apiece as Australia were bowled out for 141. England then powered to 349, Chris Broad the star with 112, leaving Australia 208 behind. More inspired bowling by England and two run-outs meant Australia were always struggling. They eventually succumbed for 194 leaving England victorious by the incredible margin of an innings and 14 runs.Bonus One Day International 1987 vs Australia, Benson and Hedges World Series Cup, Sydney 22nd JanuaryOne of the great One Day Internationals.

Advantages: none Disadvantages: loads of scenes and music scores have been cut out
this is the only fools and horses complete collection boxset but in my eyes it isnt because loads of scenes have been cut and musical scores changed or cut out and laughter tracks added onto episodes that didnt originally have a laughter track. so its not really the complete collection is it with all these things changed and added the episode a royal flush is the one that been edited the most loads of scenes have been cut and a laughter track added wich spoils the episode completely. i would strongly recommend anyone that want to see all the episodes in all their glory is to tape them off uk gold its better than this so called complete collection that the bbc have released im still waiting for the genuine complete collection. ...
Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long
be ignored by the overall storyline.
I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children.
Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch.
******Conclusion*****
All these movies in the BoxSet; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would ...
Advantages: One of the greatest tv shows ever created, gripping, briliantly written, can't get much better. Disadvantages: There honestly is nothing or very little wrong with this show/season.
No matter how many adjectives you pile upon this show, there simply aren't enough words to describe the incredible talents of everyone involved in creating a show that should be the bench mark for fellow TV shows and aspiring writers or directors for the future. These may be bold and strong words but Six Feet Under putting it simply, is one of, if not the best TV Show ever created.
This is the fifth and final series of HBO's dark and disturbing drama set in a funeral home and is quite possibly the best of the lot. Season five ties up all the lose ends in what has been an emotional roller coaster for not only the characters but for the viewers too, keeping us both glued to the screen and dreading the end which inevitably is heading our way.
The quality of this, and all the seasons for that matter, shines through when you realise that ...
A box set featuring 'The Seventies', 'The Eighties' and 'The Nineties'.
