great show 100%

great show

Firstly, I LOVE this series. It takes me right back to when I was watching it as a kid on broadcast TV! I'm from and live in America, so naturally I had bought the Season 1 DVD set when it came out on American NTSC DVD's and waited and waited and waited for YEARS for the 2nd Season to come out too. Well, when it finally DID come out it seemed to only be available for purchase if coupled WITH the 1st Season set, WHICH I ALREADY HAD and this "bundle" cost a FORTUNE! The least expensive listing I have found is on Amazon and is $109! So I have been a fan of many British Comedy TV series for years and had finally decided that I needed to purchase a UK PAL Region 2 capable or a Region Zero DVD player, as most British TV series aren't available in the US, and if they are, they cost a fortune. So I ordered a Region Zero player. While browsing British TV DVD sets, I happened to come across the Complete Baa Baa Black Sheep Series on Region 2 DVD's. Before I even ordered any British TV series to watch in my new player, I decided I would order the Complete Baa Baa Black Sheep set for LESS than a THIRD of the American price!!! When I pressed play on the first Black Sheep DVD in my machine, I half expected the picture quality to be low. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is AMAZING! There are NO differences between the US and UK menus or other screens, other than the Government copyright warnings, which are, of course, British. I am THRILLED with this set! I don't understand why these American production companies charge American's SO MUCH to buy AMERICAN TV series' DVD Sets! I can say from some experience now that, for the most part, at least the UK DVD sets of both American and British series are MUCH less expensive, even WITH shipping! I will be buying many more TV series DVD sets from the UK in the future! I absolutely recommend this DVD Set! If you purchase a Region Zero player, it will MORE than pay for itself with this single set and you can save money on other series sets and still be able to play any American DVD on it, as well.

Can't stand current broadcast tv, I'd much rather buy dvd's.

My wife even started clapping after an episode once. LOL

Great

The episodes look very clear and professionally put onto the DVDs

A blast from days past, watched it for he first time in the early eighties, loved the comedian aspect as well as the aerial scenes, altogether something that in this combination was never repeated.

Seems a bit corny now (probably was even when it came out) but I have fond memories of watching 'Pappy' and the team back when I was younger and still gives me a laugh now.

Nice adventure

Had seen it many years ago and still like it, arrived well on time, have not finished to watch it but quality is good so far.

A classic TV series like mash. I grew up watching it and started my interest for history of the WW2. Now my 8 years old son is a fan, repeating the tradition.
