Thunderbirds - Complete Collection

Stunning quality on my 4k player, which uplevels these Blue Ray Discs to almost 4k standard. The craftsmanship put into making this series gets increasingly better as the show progresses; my 4 year old son, critical at first, quickly caught the Thunderbirds bug and now thoroughly enjoys the episodes. He loves the puppetry, the music, the stories - everything! We just watched the Alligator episode, which I feared might be too slow paced, but he was fully engaged throughout and full of questions about the characters. The narration and pace may be at odds with today's fast paced style but quality and creativity always endures in my opinion. Again, the picture and sound on these discs is simply amazing. Get it while you can.

Firstly, the Good: Well this is a classic series, which is just great, the picture and sound is good, but as I will mention soon, the picture is not good enough, the price from Zavvi, is very good when I purched them, and delivery was excellent. A lot of people have commented about the cropping of the picture in 16:9, this to us, is not too noticeable, and is better than the black lines either side. The bad: Even though these are in HD, there is a lot of grain present at times in the picture, which to us is not acceptable, now we have very old films that Disney have done on blu ray, dating from the 1940's. and the picture qaulity on these, we cannot fault in HD Blu ray, if Disney, and other companies can do this, then ITV could have done it with these. We pay good money for great looking HD picture, not to have a lot of sandy grain, on our screen at times, so hence, only 3 stars. We do own the dvd's as well, and yes, the Blu ray's are better, but could be a lot better.
