The hero inside of us
I had read somewhere on the Internet that "After 9/11, the producers thought they could cash in on the hero status of firemen." I disagree entirely and simply because there is never anything glamorous about an emergency service worker in whatever capacity they are employed. The characters in this long running series were professionally chosen and more than well suited to their individual roles. Anything high octane about the first series certainly came down to slower, intimately engaging, naturally anticipated expectations as series 8-14 evolved with the times and the people. In fact, this second fire fighting saga invites the audience to applaud the sincerity of even imagined heroism; the cast inevitably want to satisfy their fans of their holistic acting capabilities as well as entertain the notion of ultimate deity - we are all more Greek than Roman even as new-informed world modern citizens. Why criticize the very real fact that we all seek out supreme heroism when it is intrinsically attached to our human instinct to succeed and surpass challenges, whether they be real or not?. I am wholly satisfied with this conclusive equally as gripping series and a worthwhile investment always.

Fab Box Set - TV at it's very best!
I loved this series so much back in the 80s and 90s... and so I couldn't wait to watch this over... and yes... it's just as good as I remember... it doesn't seem dated, as it is a portrayal of the Fire Brigade through that era ... I just love the characters and the camaraderie between them... the personal storylines... the excitement of the shouts!! Fab script writing and production!Things do change over the Seasons and there is a big change after Series 10... I remember I didn't like it at the time... but now I can see why they did it... as the Fire Brigade must have been going through a lot of changes during that time and so they needed to update things.... the cast also changes quite dramatically and some of the best characters have left the show by Series 11... but the new cast members do settle in again as a team and the story lines are so good that it doesn't spoil viewing... and there are some of the cast that do stay through until the end!!I have loved watching this again and it was worth every penny!!

Good Watch!
Bought this for my Daughter who is a big fan, seemed sensible as she had The Complete Series 1 to 7 which, to me, seemed logical! Very enjoyable watch! Brings back lots of memories!

Great serie from the past
The order was on time as mentioned. A great serie that wasn't shown on tv completely in the Netherlands. Pity is only the quality of the film and the screensize. It is not what we expect from dvd's these days. That is why 4 stars
