Rewarded myself a little treat today: the 16 DVD series A World at War. Oh yes, I did!


Very nice, I've seen it on the telly but I didn't know it was available on DVD.

Looking at the price I don't think I could sneak that one into the house so easily. :)

It wasn't so bad. £30 roughly.

Is this "The World at War", the famous 70s British documentary about World War Two? The one narrated by Larry Olivier?

That's a great series. That theme music still sends shivers down my spine.

Some British Sunday newspapers have got into the very good habit of giving away CDs and DVDs in amongst all the colour supplements. You can sometimes find some jewels among the dross. My grandmother buys such newspapers and today (as she has no use for such modern things: Can't or won't work the CD player I bought for her) she had some to offload on to me when I saw her.

Bingo! This week's crop had a good one:



If you've never seen it it's about a lone sailor waging a private war against a German U-Boat in South America during World War Two. In my memory it is very good, but I haven't seen it for ages. Anyway, it has a U-Boat in it, that's good enough for me.

I got "The Wild Geese" last year by the same newspaper method.
