Love For Lydia - Complete Collection (DVD)

Advantages: Beautifully written, vivid description
Disadvantages: None

...Lydia Aspen comes to live in the town on Evensford after the death of her father. Living with two elderly aunts, she leads a solitary existence until a local lad, Richardson, introduces her into Evensford society in the 1920s. Richardson soon falls in love with Lydia, but the path to true love doesn't run smoothly - Lydia flirts with two of Richardson's closest friends, Alex and Tom, and others beside. When it appears that Alex is going to ask Lydia to marry him, Richardson is devastated and life for the friends will never be the same again. The very mention of H E Bates's name evokes memories of my childhood. From an early age, I was introduced to his work and I still enjoy it today. Probably best known for his books featuring Pop Larkin and his family, televised in The Darling Buds of May, he has also written several volumes... Read review

Advantages: conveniantly packaged, good series, lots of laughs, very amusing
Disadvantages: quite short series

...I purchased the complete Blackadder collection for £35 at HMV and it was certainly money well spent. I think the acting and humour is top notch and it features 4 of televisions greatest actors of all time "Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson). very wry and witty this is a great box set to buy if you want some top quality BBC made entertainment. However, the entire 4 series only adds up to 14 hours,so i feel that the box set should be a little cheaper as you can buy the entire Jeeves and Wooster collection on the Play.com website for £25 and that amounts to around 18 hours and over 20 episodes.

Advantages: All four movies for the first time on DVD
Disadvantages: cheesy but fun

...********************************************************************** I know that was just a brief introduction on the movies, but I am sure you all know the basics as they are donkies years old now. The movies themselves are a bit cheesy, but hey, their super hero flicks so they are supposed to be. They are still good fun, and the kids are bound too love them. Christopher Reeve who died in October last year, was the actor selected from 200 candidates to play the super hero. The 1978 film 'Superman' spawned three sequels and Christopher played the title character in each one. Sadly Christopher became paralysed after a horse riding accident in May 1995, but still remained a 'Superman' in many fans hearts. The new box set DVD's also contain bonus features such as 'the history of Superman'. Overall comment - - - - With all the superhero hype we have now, it's no wonder we are getting these...
