Willy Fog - Complete Collection (DVD)

Advantages: Theme tune, characters, and childhood memories
Disadvantages: Only 5 episodes on DVD, animation is an acquired taste

...For those who have already read my reviews of volumes 1, 2 and 3 of "Around the World With Willy Fog" this will be starting to get a bit boring, and I apologise. Especially as after this there is still volume 5 to come! For those of you who haven't, my previous reviews can be found if you copy and paste the addresses below. Please note, if you are reading this as you are considering buying the DVD I would suggest that you read my review of volume 1 rather than this one, and make an overall suggestion that you purchase the box set rather than the volumes on their own. Volume 4 will not work as a stand alone DVD. http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFogVol1Animate dReview5614546 http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/AroundTheWorldWithWilly FogVol2AnimatedReview5770827 http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/AroundTheWorl dWithWillyFog...

Advantages: conveniantly packaged, good series, lots of laughs, very amusing
Disadvantages: quite short series

...I purchased the complete Blackadder collection for £35 at HMV and it was certainly money well spent. I think the acting and humour is top notch and it features 4 of televisions greatest actors of all time "Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson). very wry and witty this is a great box set to buy if you want some top quality BBC made entertainment. However, the entire 4 series only adds up to 14 hours,so i feel that the box set should be a little cheaper as you can buy the entire Jeeves and Wooster collection on the Play.com website for £25 and that amounts to around 18 hours and over 20 episodes. On the whole i was immensely pleased with the product. If you are a fan of the series then this is one boxset you will not want to miss out on. when regarding the actual product; the boxset that contains the 6 dvs's is... Read review
