Great memories and a winner for the kids
Review date: 2008-02-10 Rating: 10 out of 10
My husband (Australian) bought this for our kids but we have happily watched again all these episodes with them. As each episode only lasts about 20 minutes, it is also great when the kids want to watch TV but you don't want them to get sucked into something too long. We have now had this box set for 2 years and our kids (aged 5 and 7) are still happy to watch re-runs.
The acting and plot lines are as hammy as you remember but they are all the more entertaining for it - "Which way did they go Skip?", the stuffed kangeroo paw prop and the classic 60s dancing styles and hairdos are all there too. One of the best bits of all however is the extra DVD where all the actors have been recently interviewed giving their memories of it all and some very funny stories of what really went on.
Great value for money - get this whole set not the other shorter DVD sets advertised here on Amazon. I have just ordered Series 2 and 3 from Umbrella Entertainment the Australian company who have put them on DVD for sale over there.
