IF YOU ARE BUYING THE WEST WING COMBINED BOX SET, THEN BE VERY CAREFUL. EBAY IS FLOODED WITH ILLEGAL, POOR QUALITY COPIES AT THE MOMENT WHICH ARE FACTORY PRODUCED IN ASIA. THEY MASS PRODUCE BOX SETS OF ALL POPULAR TV SERIES, AND SELL THEM CHEAPLY OVER HERE. THE QUALITY IS POOR - I HAVE SEEN THEM. THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTE FALSE ECONOMY. NOT ONLY ARE THESE BLURRY AND WITH POOR SOUND, THEY ARE ILLEGAL. MANY INTERNATIONAL GANGS ARE MAKING MORE MONEY FROM THIS SORT OF THING THAN DRUG TRAFFICKING NOWADAYS, SO THINK ABOUT WHERE YOUR MONEY IS REALLY GOING. LOOK PAST THE EXCUSE THAT THEY ARE JUST CHEAP DVDS, AND IT'S ONLY OUR GOVERNMENT THAT IS MISSING OUT ON TAXES THAT IS THE PROBLEM. ENSURE THE ITEM YOU BUY IS A REGION 2 UK / PAL EDITION. THE REAL THING AS ALLWAYS WILL COST MORE, BUT YOU ARE GETTING JUST THAT, NOT A POOR COPY THAT IS BUYING INTERNATIONAL CRIMINALS THEIR LUXURIES.Read full review
Having heard a lot about this programme, but not having seen any episodes, ebay offered the ideal chance to catch up on a drama I was assured I would like. At a price for the whole set which easily trounced the best High Street offers, I couldn't resist it. And I was not disappointed. Even although I was fairly ignorant of the American political system, the wit, slick language and fascinating characters quickly got me hooked. So much so, that before I was half way through the third series I bought the seventh series, again on ebay. For anyone who likes fast paced drama mixed with genuinely funny moments, I would highly recommend the West Wing. Centred on the President (Martin Sheen) and his staff of Press Secretaries, speech writers etc. the drama covers almosy every possible eventuality that would face the White House. Mid term elections, States of the Union, terrorism, re-election, diplomacy, racism, personal highs and lows, even attempted assassinations. The human faces behind the high ranking officials are always at the centre of things, with all the doubts and frailties inherent in people doing a highly stressed job. Many well known faces appear as guest stars. The likes of Christopher Lloyd, Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda join regulars Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Joshua Malina, Mary McCormack, Janel Moloney, Richard Shiff, Bradley Whitford and John Spencer. The latter tragically died of a heart attack during the making of the seventh and final series which had previously seen his character recover from heart surgery. This made the final series even more powerful. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone, whether or not you know anything about American politics. It is certainly a very enjoyable way to learn!Read full review
I have always wanted to watch The West Wing series again as it was very good and this was offered at a fair price. I would have liked the box containing the first series to have been in better condition, but the dvd's seem okay which is more important.
its the most intelligent most intersting and insightful show on TV. Its beter on DVD than on TV cos you can listen to the dialogue over and again hear it all.
