EXCELLENT DVD COLLECTION! MUST SEE THIS SERIES!

Created: 28/04/10
I honestly hated to see this series end. It was fantastic! I do love all the series that the BBC makes. They are so very talented in their acting, humor, directing etc. Considering this series was made back in the 1970's is amazing. It seems that they spared no expense in making this series authentic. Wish it had went even further with the episodes. But like I said, I really hated to see it end. I do highly recommend viewing The Duchess of Duke Street Collection. I Absolutely LOVE IT & I think your might too!!!

Damaged CDs and Packaging a Problem!

Created: 18/12/08
The first DVD of the series had separated from the packaging and the center had scratched the DVD making it skip in many, many sections...no way to understand what's going on. A subsequent DVD skipped almost all of Episode #5, which I can tell is a critical episode to the story. I know this is meant to be a review of the content of the DVD set, but if you can't watch it because the set quality is so poor...how can you have an opinion?

My wife thoroughly enjoyed this 16 episode DVD. Biggest problem was getting the DVDs to release from the case, much harder than most DVDs.

The best PBS and BBC has produced!

Saw this years ago, influenced the way I looked at the world as a woman. We all need to look to Louisa as an example of how to "frame" life.

Story was skillfully done with a wonderful mixture of history and fiction. Great acting, beautiful Edwardian scenes. Shows the viewer both sides of the culture of the Edwardian times. Great series.
