[UK] HMV's Best of the Muppet Show (4 Disc DVD)

[movielad]

Has anybody got this, and is it any good/different from the individual Best Of
series that's already on release?

Yes There are a number of shows in there that aren't available on the Time-Life discs, and of course these are the original PAL recordings, so the picture quality is light-years ahead of the NTSC Time-Lifes...

Subject of which, if anyone's considering getting the UK Time-Life VHS releases - don't! They've been converted back to PAL from the US releases, so the shows have gone PAL->NTSC->PAL, and look absolutely terrible :-(

Are these on DVD yet in the UK? The time life ones that is.

Not that I know of, but some of the titles are available on VHS.

Actually they are not, they have been taken off the site along time ago.

Deleted, then. The tapes still turn up on eBay from time to time - along with the Australian releases, which are just as bad.

Yeah the box set is a nice sale price - saw it in HMV the other day.
