Music Box (DVD)

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults.

...This is from the time when Mariah Carey used to make good music, looked good and could open her mouth and string together a sentence without sounding like a brainless bimbo. The best songs on this album are the ballads like the title track and songs like ?Anytime you need a friend?. The faster songs are really dreadful but as there aren?t many of them this doesn?t really spoil the overall effect of the album. This is a good album but the screechy singing style does get a bit tiresome after a couple of listens and it can really give you a headache. This is definitely better than most of her later stuff but only buy it if you really liked the singles.... Read review
