This was a great show - all thirteen wonderful episodes - and if you are looking for old appearances of Anthony Stewart Head or Michael Easton then this is well worth the money.

But if you're a fan of the show, like I am, you'll be more than a little aggrieved to learn that this tape, Vol. 4, contains the episode 'Escape.' As does Vol. 3. For some reason known only to themselves the company producing these videos, Rhino, have decided not to release episode '5D' on a tape and instead have issued 'Escape' twice, on two different tapes. With the price I have to pay to ship this over to the UK you can guess I'm not a happy bunny. This on top of the fact that Rhino have mysteriously edited out the original soundtrack and replaced it with tinny muzack of their own choosing. All in all, not great value for money.

Vr5 was a wonderful show that never got a chance to shine. If you've arrived here searching for old appearances of Anthony Stewart Head or Michael Easton then buy this series, your money won't be wasted.

This on top of the fact that Rhino have also mysteriously chosen to replace the original soundtrack with muzack of their own choosing. Not a good sign.
