Vincent And Theo DVD

Advantages: Slick and moody with excellent storylines
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little too moody for some

...to and fro but generally getting where they want to go, as does the narrative. Vincent was a real winner as a series and whether ITV ditched it due to financial constraints or whether they genuinely believe that 'where there's muck there's brass' doesn't alter that fact. It's a shame nevertheless. Ant and Dec's accountant might not think so, however. The DVD The Series 1 DVD is a basic affair. There are two discs each with two episodes and you can either watch specific episodes or watch the whole thing consecutively.
