Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: serious problems Comment: There is a reason that so many after market retailers here on amazon have these at a steep discount. In my case, three of the six DVDs refused to play on my high end, very expensive Onkio DVD player. Of those three, one refused to play on my Dell computer. The remaining reminded me of a joke told to me by a Stanford Ph.D. mathematician-philosopher. The tools of a mathematician are pencil, paper, and waste paper basket. The tools of a philosopher are paper and pencil. These programs are very long winded. They could have been easily edited down to 1/2 of their length without losing any of their content. Customer Rating: Summary: Dickens, Dickens and More Dickens Comment: Anyone who likes the novels of Charles Dickens would, I believe, like this series. Anyone familiar with the BBC productions of the Dickens' novels would like this series. Anyone curious about 19th century English society would like this series. And lastly, anyone who just likes to see a good story well acted would like this series. Customer Rating: Summary: Dickens: Our Mutual Friends Comment: Our Mutual Friend is worth the price of admission alone. It was only out on VHS tape before, but can be had on DVD here. All DVDs have great acting and great stories. Customer Rating: Summary: The Charles Dickens Collection Comment: Great condition. brand new! Wonderful product and great stories. A must see and definitely "family friendly". Customer Rating: Summary: Dickens Package 1 Comment: This collection is an embarassment of riches. Each story is divided into several episodes which take time to view and absorb. So far we have only viewed "Bleak House" and "Our Mutual Friend". Both are excellent and capture the steamy world of Dicken's London. I think I am constantly amazed at the attention to detail that the Brits recreate in historical drama. And of course there is the wealth of character playing for which Britain has always been famous. A really excellent series. More Reviews
