How I Wish… Gosh – how I wish this collection would have been without ‘The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries’ as this already has been released separately. Instead BBC should have included ‘Mother Love’ which is yet to see the light of day -at least officially.Still there’s enough included here for me to obtain this collection of dvd’s anyway, but with ‘Mother Love’ I would have given it a full set of stars.
Diana Rigg at the BBC This is a must for Diana Rigg fans. Outside of the Avengers TV series Dame Diana has done a lot of theater but a minimum of cinema and TV. This set isthe usual BBC quality and presents Dame Diana in a variety of roles plus the delightful Mrs. Bradley series.
