...Hello everybody, I'm writing a review on this Box Set by Lee Evans! My Grandfather bought it for me because it was going cheap in a shop in the High Street. I'd previously bought Lee Evans 2005 XL Tour Live for my flat mate for Christmas. I watched it on Xmas day with him and was hooked! I let my Grandfather borrow it, he was hooked, then let my Parent's borrow it, they were hooked and thus starting a Lee Evans revolution within my family! It was a stroke of luck that my Grandfather was in the high street and saw this DVD Box Set in passing whilst searching for something else. He bought it, it was 19.99 GBP instead of the 39.99 GBP recommended retail price. (The new box set was coming out with the new XL DVD in it!) He bought it, and I've been watching them non-stop ever since. He did theorectically buy it for himself but since... Read review

...Wow what can i say, i've been a Pink Panther fan for a few years but never really sat and watched a whole film let alone series. So i asked for the box set for my birthday and so it arrived! I wont bore you going in to details of all of the films but what i can say is Peter Sellers is a genius in his portrail of Inspector clouseau. His ability to invoke laughter, use of language, props and his accent is up there with the best of all time. Also it comes with the final Pink Panther which was filmed after Peter Sellers died and was made up of outtakes in a kind of tribute to clouseau. I didnt think this film would work but its probably one of the best of the lot. Personally i didnt find the first Pink Panther to interesting because the characters were trying to find their feet. One final note has to go to Cato, expect him... Read review
