Advantages: Brilliant acting, great storylines and scripts Disadvantages: Lack of extras on the DVD lets this set down
people like Radiohead. This also shows how out of place Danny seems to be in the Lakes; the modern music just shouldn't fit with the traditional, more secluded surroundings.
EXTRAS
This is the reason why I simply cannot understand why this is a two disk set; there are no significant extras to be seen on this DVD. In spite of this, there are audio commentaries from lead actor John Simm and director David Blair who talk about the experience of filming and - in the case of John - standing in freezing cold water for many scenes. Nice!
However, these audio commentaries are separate and I do think that for a double disk set, there should be something more than just a couple of commentaries, especially for people like myself who didn't see the show the first time round and who are interested in the background story and how the programme was ...

DVD Description
Tchaikovsky's ballet in two acts is performed by the London Festival Ballet under the direction of Natalia Makarova, a former ballet star. Under Makarova's guidance, the story is stripped down to the core love story. This simplicity and purity of narrative combined with the stars' dazzling movements and an innovative set design make this production of Swan Lake an entirely original experience.
