This is the seventh box set taking the excellent 'Sopranos' to it's inconclusive conclusion. The final nine episodes included here are of the same high standard as those before it and continues the build up of tension started in Season six part 1. Anybody who has watched the show and has got to this late stage in the saga will not be needing a review to decide on a purchase, you're going to buy it anyway!!. To those people it is an excellent buy. i'm just a little disappointed that the cost has remained substantially higher than all the series before it. You've got to buy it to complete the set and they know that! For this point alone i've reduced the score to four stars.

Impeccable acting. Speech and deportment faultless. How nice to be able to hear every word spoken, unlike some recent Austen adaptations, e.g. Kate Beckinsale and Keira Knightley, both of whom were far too 21st century slovenly.

We took our 21mth old to see the premiere of this film on the weekend.
He was mesmorised!
The film is one hour long episode broken up by songs - it kept our toddler entertained!
It has a great story line for the older kids.
The remix of the Thomas song at the end is awesome!
Would recommend this for any avid Thomas fan - would make a great christmas present!

This show is CLEARLY the best thing on television!
Season 1 was amazing, season 2 lacked a little but still deserved 5 stars, and season 3 is simply the best! If I could give it 6 stars I would!
The 3rd season includes many laughing, crying, screaming, tense, cringe-worthy moments that make this show SO enjoyable and addictive!
A must have for fans!!!!

You can try to compare Spooks to US series like 24 but for me Spooks is on a whole different level to 24. After a few short series 24 is starting to go stale with the same kind of plots being played out season after season. The explosions get bigger but the bottom line is still the same. Spooks on the other hand seems to go from strength to strength with every passing season. Yes there are only 10 episodes per season but that gives you some idea of the amount of thought that goes into every episode. I think the reason Spooks gets stronger with every episode is because it doesn't rely on the explosions and gun-battles that 24 does to make an impact. Spooks relies on it's storyline, some fantastic acting and so much realism that you actually finish an episode thinking `bloody hell ... Read More:

Rarely does television or film do justice to the origonal intent of an author. But this and its accompanying series, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, may just be the exceptions to prove the rule. Beautifully adapted, exceptionally well acted, by a first class cast, including the late great Sir Alec Guinness. This drama slowly builds tension and layers of intrigue, weaving a tapestry of lies, truths, half truths, suspicions and faded memories.

If you enjoy being gently drawn into another world of pale shadows and grey ghost, forlorn memories and wistful regrets. If you have a normal attention span and an intellect that enjoys being stimulated, this is for you. If however you are of the 20 nanosecond, when is the next explosion coming generation, forget it.

My 12-year-old daughter and me are addicted to the Gilmore Girls. We have seen the first six seasons without missing a single episode and we are eagerly awaiting the seventh. The relationship between mother and daughter makes you feel a warm glow. The grandparents are great fun as are all the other secondary characters. But best of all is Lorelai: sweet, independent and great as a mother and friend.... lousy as a daughter, though. You will love it. Be careful: it is seriously addictive.

I thought the first 2 or 3 episodes were a little slow but stuck with it and was ultimately rewarded.

On the skin of it it's a Space-Western, but somehow it is more than that. My fiance doesn't like sci-fi series or westerns yet she loved this series.

By the end of this series you know most of the characters well and it's set up for a great second series which of course there isn't! There is however the film Serenity which is a good film but never answers questions about (for example) the past of Shepherd Book.

Watch this series and the only dissapointment you will have is that they only did 1 series.

Used Price: £21.49

'Frasier' season 10 attempts to claw back some of the comedy lost by the previous two seasons, which ran the risk of turning the show into a drama series. Unfortunately, the writers seem to believe that adding high farce and new characters are the ways to revitalise the show; wrong on both counts. Making Daphne's mother (played by Millicent Martin) a regular character is an insane decision, a fifth wheel who only serves to antagonise the other characters (and the viewers!) Similarly, the addition of Julia Wilcox (Felicity Huffman) to the KACL family means we are given yet another retread of Frasier being annoyed at a new colleague stealing his thunder: think back to Kate Costas (season 3), Dr. Clint Webber (season 5), Dr. Nora (season 6), Dr. Mary (season 7) etc! Knowing references to parent sitcom 'Cheers' are ... Read More:
