Sheer quality
1 of 1 found this helpful The Herbs: From the good old days of BBC television when quality was the prime consideration and 24hr reality, property and cookery show banality was but a distant nightmare.
Originally one of the series used for the Watch With Mother slot (beautifully non-PC), and narrated by the versatile Gordon Rollings who, incidentally presented the first edition of Play School in April 1964, this charming set of stories features characters named after various herbs. So we have Parsley the Lion, Dill the Dog, Bayleaf the gardener and so on, each of whom has his or her own signature song. There is a whimsical humour throughout which makes it equally entertaining for adults, but I am certain the main audience for this is the 50-somethings who watched it as children the first time round. The series was released on VHS back in the 1990s but it is good to have the programmes presented in far better DVD quality now and presented as they were intended to be shown, complete with start and end titles and not messed about with.
The Adventures of Parsley: This was a pre-evening news 5 minute spin-off from the Herbs used by BBC1 just before the evening news, usually at 5.40pm. It competed with The Magic Roundabout and Captain Pugwash et al for the slot and features all the main characters in The Herbs. Also narrated by Gordon Rollings, and again presented here complete with titles and not messed with unlike the previous VHS BBC release.
Well worth buying, over 6 hours of great quality fun on two DVDs. But then I am one of those 50-somethings!

Panasonic DVD-S47 DVD Player
Sensible no-nonsense good quality machine from Panasonic.
Plus features are the inclusion of the all-too-rare 4 pin Svideo output socket, and thank heavens one can turn off those irritating and unnecessary onscreen displays. I believe most people know when they have pressed 'play' or 'pause' or whatever: they don't beed some silly graphic on the screen to tell them.

Rathbone and Bruce ride again
A collection of what appear to be transcription recordings of an American radio series contemporaneous to the Fox B-movies of the 1940s. Rathbone and Bruce co-star in what may be fondly described as a Penny-Dreadful version of Conan-Doyle's more cerebral creation. However they do possess a charm of their own for all their melodrama; and I swear Denis Hoey is to be heard on more than one episode as Inspector Lestrade. I did spend a day editing out the hugely irritating commercials for some crappy American wine which crops up every five minutes or so and the inappropriate 'Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside' organ music: the stories now flow more sensibly and tolerably.
