The Adventures Of Black Beauty The Best Of Series One (DVD)

Advantages: Awesome episodes - a classic t.v. sitcom produced to be as the original was
Disadvantages: not sharper image, no extras

...a cocktail medicine to treat homicidal maniacs, which turns peiple into homocidal mainiacs and puts it in a coke can so no-one would drink it. Meanwhile heavy rains result in London flooding and the boys are trapped in the house with a homicidal, axe-wielding Mr. Balowski. A fantastic 4 stars even though in my opinion one of the very best British sitcoms ever written. It is rather disappointing that the visual quality is poor and just as blurry as the original t.v. broadcast. Still the episodes are amazing and it's great that I can watch these again given that we no longer have a video and only a dvd player - i love this retro series so much I had to buy the second series too! Thank you for reading, best wishes, mintz x x... Read review

Advantages: Great music, great characters,
Disadvantages: might some be some peoples tastes

...I LOVE this Tv programme, and in my opinion this is the best series. It is basically a series about a school where something exciting happens every day. Jamie Glover stars as my favourite character Andrew Treneman. The headmaster is a really excting guy, all the teachers are always in trouble and have really exciting lives, and the kids are all really naughty and are always rebelling and stuff. Its fantastic. Im 15, a girl. All my mates love it and my mum and their mums do too. I would DEFINITELY recommend this in fact I think you would be mad not to buy it. If you want some previews search Series one waterloo road on youtube or google or something. And you can catch it on Wednesdays from 8.00 till 9.00 on BBC1. Some of the storylines are: One of the teachers, Tom Clarkson, is supposed to be marrying another one... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic storyline, soundtrack, anal and human actors
Disadvantages: Saw a crew member on an old version of the film that has since been corrected

...I first saw this film when it wasn video. As a large fan of horses, it was a beautiful thing to watch. I now also own it on DVD. The soundtrack, composed by Danny Elfman was released for a limited about of time, and i am also very proud to own it. The music to the film beautifully suits it with an arrangement of classical instruments, a pleasure to listen to in it's own right. The film starr's many great actors [and actresses] such as Sean Bean, starring as Black Beauty's breeder and first owner. The footage and older camera filming adds perfectly to the timed setting of the late 1800's. I have heard people complain in the past that Black Beauty has an english voice. My view is, if the film was created in america, he'd have an american voice. No difference really! The bond between Joe, the clumsy, slightly thick stable... Read review
