The images are stunning. It is in 1080i but still looks fantastic. Very informative. Rudy Maxa is interesting to listen to and he gives good tips for travelling in the areas he documents. I felt I had to review this blu-ray when I saw only one other review from someone who apparantly did not update their firmware and had problems watching the disk and rated this one star. There are other titles in this series including France and Italy which are also filmed beautifully and are interesting. Also video is 16:9 and not 1:33. Beautiful widescreen.

On Blu-Ray at full HD (1080p) the imagery is STUNNING...just magnificent. Rudi Maxa is very entertaining travel narrator/author, it's very up-to-date and authentic...not outdated, yet.

This Video, shows a lot more to England than London. Interested in going back to the UK!

When I saw that the run time was over an hour I thought that would make for a relatively comprehensive presentation. It's anything but. Vast regions of the United Kingdom are presented in twenty five minute segments, and of that entire region, a couple little eateries and a historical land mark will be picked at random, quickly glossed over and sandwiched between random images that receive no explanation. Overall, you won't see or learn much from the presentation, and there's not even enough substance for it to be useful as a travel guide. It's plays like a short preview for what could have been something much bigger and better. I guess I've been spoiled by Rick Steves' more thorough product, but sadly, Rick Steves' series is not offered in bluray. I had looked forward to buying this series, but I must stop at just this one. The video is sharp but the lack of content relative to the run time is too disappointing to get past.

If your going to England then get this DVD before you go. Its filled with info and helps find places to see. Its a must have!!!

nice and funny blu ray video
it is must if you planning to travel to london
good tips and advices

Too much of the video is washed out. With film you would say it was overexposed, but this was surely shot with an HD camera. Can not understand why anyone would release material of such poor quality. Interesting, but they ruined it with very poor video.
