This
latest set of British TV shows has us revisiting several reviews in our
archives…
Though we
just covered a box set called The Doc
Martin Collection, that turned out to include the set we now have
separately called Doc Martin: The Movies
(2001) and you can read about the set and the whole series starting at this
link:
This is
however the first time we have covered the this 1998 version of Tess Of The D’Urbervilles with Justine
Waddell in the title role, Jason Flemying, Oliver Milburn, Rosalind Knight and
Brian Pringle (among others) with narration by Gerald James and it compares
well to the 2008 Tess we covered here,
which you can read more about at this link:
Picture
and sound are the same in all cases as it is all the same transfer material
(and sometimes the same discs) as before, save Tess sounding good enough, but being a little softer than most of the
presentations here (it rates a C) and has no extras.
