I liked this item even though I returned it. Already have these stories on individual discs. It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Love the stories but some of the disc are bad got to the last scene of Silas Marner and the disc skips to the credits you miss the last 10 minutes of the movie.

Well ,this is not on par with Dickens. But if you like Dickens and Austen because they were written by people who could actually write, then this is for you. I really miss the old A&E. They really went all out with the screen writing, and Brit actors are the absolute best. Americans are shabby amateurs at best. Thank Goodness this old stuff is still available or I would toss my TV and DVD player in the rubbish heap. Anyway back to the collection; Eliot was way out there personally, its hard to believe her writing was not as nasty as her life style. Now that I know how she lived I am surprised it wasn't more lude. But overall its entertaining and clean.
It's impossible to go wrong with BBC Classics. I've viewed these productions many times over the years. While they're available via streaming, I like having my favorites at hand, in tangible form (and pay just once). These productions include some of the finest actors in their early years. Quality entertainment that's memorable is worth owning.

These are all your typical English period interpretations of English works. The acting, costumes, and settings were great. But as with many period piece reproduction it is a bit wordy and 3 of the offerings were a bit of a drag, a bit slow, but the books are the same.
