The quality of recording is good, the production standard is excellent and Joan Hickson is outstanding as Miss Marple.
How can some people make awful movies when TV can be as good as this?
For all who enjoy the stories of Agatha Cristie, with her imposters, recidivists and Machiavellian murderers, this collection is a delight.

The first two Alien films are amazingly good, & the rest are well worth watching but less excellent. This is a great collection & good value for money.

I started watching NCIS midway through season 3. I really enjoyed it so decided to get the season 1 box set. I'm glad I did. It is filled with action, excellent storylines and a wonderful cast. I have heard people compare this to CSI, this is nothing like CSI, it stands on it's own and shouldn't be put together with other crime shows. Highly recommended.

Roumour has it that HBO decided to cancel Sapranos but said that they would fund six series. The Sapranos team wanted to complete seven series; so here is series 6 (part 1) followed later by series 6 (part 2, not series 7!). I like their cheek. I like their programmes.

I was not even born when the first installment of Godfather came out in the theatres. But I always heard about it from all my elder family members, who had the chance to see the movie in the seventies. They always admired about it and its sequel that went into theaters in 1974. This June, when the Godfather trilogy box set came out, all the stories which I used to hear from other people came across my mind, and I immediately bought the Godfather trilogy box set, containing all three movies and two bonus discs covering the special features.
When I started watching the trilogy from part 1, it gripped me right from the beginning till the end. Director, Francis Ford Coppola dealt so many characters, beautifully, without hampering the pace of the movie. Apart ... Read More:

This is a review of the box set itself, since obviously the show gets 5 stars and we all know how good that is - so in response to an earlier review calling for comments on the packaging, here's my take.
There's an outer sleeve showing all the characters lined up as you can see on the product image. Inside this you pull out the oblong box which is also shown. This has the words "The Sopranos" along it. This box splits in two and reveals two sides, with 15 discs on each. Each disc is on its own sleeve and is tucked away to reveal just a number, from 1-4 (since this is how many discs are in each season - season 6 is in two parts therefore 8 discs).
My only gripe lies in the way in which the discs are stored within the sleeve. The sleeve is all ... Read More:

Contrary to other reviewers, we actually avoided the series on TV as we didn't much care for the main players in relation to past performances (or perhaps to be more specific, we didn't like what they were in). The only exception perhaps was Dennis Waterman who has pretty much played the same sort of role from comedy to drama. However, we picked up series 3 on UK Gold, when we were struggling to find something decent to watch one evening. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was, and it has the right proportions of humour and drama to make you believe in the stories and in the characters. It is not a comedy, as one person suggested, but a series where, despite the somewhat macabre subject matter, we see the human side of the people investigating the cases. People ... Read More:

This whole series is fantastic, the thinking behind the minature killer is brilliant. The extras on the DVD give you a really interesting insight into how it is all made. The cliff hanger is fantastic, so much so I had to buy the Series 8 Part 1 the day it was released!

Love Wire in the Blood. Think it's really intelligent, makes you pay attention. Tony Hill is an amazing character.
I'm just wondering why the Texas episode Prayer of the Bone was not included in the DVD, copyright? And could you get it somehow, or would you have to have an American DVD-player?
