Wonderfully restored crystal clear edition!

Very good historical DVD film collection for a bargain price.

This collection is so expensive, so to find it on Zavvi for so little was amazing. Also to get the remastered version was awesome.

Great service, thanks.

Excellent thorough history of the world at war, definitely value for money.

The definitive version of this documentary series. Anyone interested in the Second World War should watch this, superior to any other version, and for sale on Zavvi for the most reasonable price around.

I always liked the World at War when initially shown on the TV, but as I worked away from home, and still do, I have never seen all the episodes. I am now enjoying a show which is brilliantly narrated and well produced as and when it suits me. The World At War: The Ultimate Restored Edition is money well spent.

This DVD version of The World at War has the tag line :- The Ultimate Restored Edition is the definitive version of one of the greatest documentary series ever...I can't comment any extra on that as it really does say it all. Absolutely top marks to the restoration team, Freemantle Media Enterprises. Some of the restored black and white footage looked as though it had been filmed yesterday. The sound is top quality too; nothing I can think detracts from it. Yes, it is about a war that finished nearly seventy years ago, and there have been hundreds of films, documentaries and bio's of the people involved, but I still learnt something I didn't know in every section. Even in my life-time, the perception of World War 2 has changed dramatically. In my youth, it was simply the war Britain won over the German's. Then it was the war we won with a little bit of help from the U.S.A. Later still, it seemed apparent that the war was really between Germany and Russia; the western front being a mere side-line. More recently, any mention of World War 2 has had to include The Holocaust as though that was what it was all about really. What this box set does is bring home the big picture to World War 2, giving validity to all these views but showing that there was a lot more going on at the same time. All-in-all it's easy to watch, but in an absorbing way. I would recommend it to both young and old.

The World At War: The Ultimate Restored Edition is a quality series at a fantastic price. It's highly recommended.

The World at War: The Ultimate Restored Edition is an amazing collection of archive material. This restored edition is a work of art, the time and hard work taken to deliver this item in this format is a great achievement. Everyone with the slightest interest in this period of history should view this item. This box set is like having picture reference books. This is just not a DVD box set, it is part of our history, which we should never forget.
