...James Bond. Joe would done his glasses and be off on his latest mission. He had all the state of the art spy devices and always completed his missions for the W.I.N. organisation, one way or another. Made from 1968 and 1969 by Gerry Anderson, who by now was on a role and could do no wrong, Joe 90 was another huge success. This was a super series to watch as a kid and as many programmes of the time completely inoffensive to all children. Highly recommended. ...

All the classic herbies together

Advantages: Great value. All the classic herbies together
Disadvantages: none!!

...I was amazed by the price of this box set. I only paid about £17 pounds. With the recent release of the new film i would have imagined the price to rocket up to more than 30. As a result i snapped up this bargain while i had the chance. There are 4 DVDs in this box set: "The Love Bug" Herbies adventure begins!! Unwanted at first, Herbie soon gains the love of his new owner. Together they get into all sorts of trouble and harrowing situations. ...
...Herbie comes up trumps as the good guy always should. I really enjoyed this film. It had me nooked from the off. There was plenty of high speed action and some comical stunts everyone will enjoy. "Herbie Rides Again" This second episode in Herbies adventures takes him the aid of an old lady. Together with the help of a few friends, they battle a major developer, keen to destroy there little house to make way for the worlds highest building. Again ...
