The actor
Robbie Coltrane has become one of the great actor survivors of his generation
and with his personality, it is no surprise he would do a TV show about
something, like traveling. Robbie Coltrane – Incredible Britain, a
3-episode Mini-Series where he tours some of the bets roads and visits some of
the most interesting, key locations anyone could find.
Of
course, his wit and personality do not hurt and there is definitely some
nostalgia involved, but we also get to meet some great people and they all seem
to be having fun. That is another one of
the reasons to watch this, as it is literally a good trip and Coltrane shows that
he is more for real on screen acting as we expected from seeing the man himself
in action.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is a little softer than I would have
liked, as it seems to be an HD shoot and we get motion blur here we might not
get on a future, potential Blu-ray. The
Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is not bad, but is location sound with some scoring
and is only going to go so far. Extras include
text on Coltrane and a fun facts map.
