Customer Review: Magical and charming.
I love this film! It had magic all the way through from scenes with theanimals to the scenes in the garden. It is beautifully shot and theperformances are well acted with charm and spirit. This is a film thatwill make you feel alive and as though everything will come right in theend.
Customer Review: An absolute joy.
After 26 years, I still think this is one of the best children’s television series ever made. The often touching story of a young orphan girl waking up to the simple beauty of the world around her, and finding lasting friendship along the way, perfectly captures the spirit of magic and discovery those more sensitive individuals among us associate with childhood. For those reared on the excellent 1993 film version, this original BBC series is still well worth watching, as it sticks more closely to the book and has a charming lead performance from Sarah Hollis Andrews that is every bit as delightful as Kate Maberly’s, plus sympathetic performances from the supporting cast. My only gripe is directed at the BBC, for their continual inability to release even classic programmes like this in their original format. Seven 25-30 minute episodes condensed into a single feature-length block of 107 minutes? It’s disappointing the quantity of material they’ve arbitrarily excised. That aside, if you’re in any way the sort to be bitten by nostalgia, and you remember this from way back, buy it now! Excellent viewing!!

Customer Review: Classic british comedygold
The Goodies were in most people eye’s a kids version of Monty Python - (including John Cleese)- zany, groovy! wacked out silliness! And bloody funny! Grab these discs while you can- (know this is the LWT series) but the BBC in their wisdom left the original films to literally rot in the archives and not many episodes survive. Even the bbc dvd releases are rumoured to have been put together after they sought out collectors and remastered old videoed episodes for their release as they didn’t have the originals. So unless they do this to the other ‘old video copies’ doing the rounds on P2P shares- it’s going to be hard to see this classic comedy in it’s entirety on dvd unless you show an interest and buy the dvd’s. Bring back those memories-
Customer Review: THE ‘GOODS’ DELIVER….
This is the only official complete series of the ‘GOODIES’,and contains the usual mixed bag of out-and-out gems, with one or two reheated themes……..overall, the standard is high enough to warrant purchase; picture/sound quality is fine, gag-quota is high, with many elaborate visual stunts of which this team is celebrated. One episode: ‘HOLIDAY’ –is studio-only, which affords textured interplay within the team. Apparantly, this series of 7 25-min shows reportedly cost as much as the entire BBC output of 70 shows…..GO FIGURE! VISUALLY impressive as ever, with only token ITV ‘forced laughter’ from the studio audience. This show translates to the commercial channel far better than other COMEDY exports. —-FINE.
