Ratings (1-10): video: 7 / audio: 7 / additional content: 7 / overall: 7.

Personal opinions of the series that we have from others have been glowing. Our own opinion concurs and, based on the past work of Messers Gill and Brownlow, we think that this series is worth every dollar charged.

North American collectors will need a region-free PAL DVD player capable of outputting an NTSC-compatible signal to view this edition.
