Review from A3GJ3KGBG22G1H at Amazon.co.uk submitted on 2009-10-21
Its been a bit of a 'Bandwagon' to jump on in recent years for TV companies and presenters alike, this walking up and down the British Isles promoting views of the countryside in one form or another,a bit like cooking programmes or antique programmes. We have had Neil Oliver, Julia Bradbury,Griff Rhys Jones,David Dimbleby, Alan Titchmarsh and Nicholas Crane to name but a few. All these programmes will have their positives and negatives for various tastes, but for me the one presenter that is head and shoulders above the rest is Nicholas Crane. His style of presentation is so enthusiastic and genuine, he visits some truly memorable places and does not mind getting his feet wet in the process.The only drawback to this DVD is that it only lasts 480 minutes and the only problem now for Nicholas is, are there any more options left to make similar programmes.

By halfway through the first episode I had become seriously irritated. Why? Instead of looking forward to uninterrupted views of the fantastic British countryside, all I saw was Nicholas Crane dominating each shot. It reminded me of old Gerald Durrell TV series which were much the same. The whole thing could and should have been shot differently, with Crane more as a narrator and story teller out of shot. Crane should learn, less is more, less is good.

Great example of what the BBC does best. Some 480 minutes worth of fantastic scenery covering England, Scotland and Wales, fronted by an informative and entertaining host who always packs his 'brolly'. Britain as you would like it to be and it still is if you make the effort and travel its countryside.
