The DVD's in this collection are a fantastic look back into the history of engineering that Britain used to have until governments allowed it to slide away in preference of banking that really shut down manufacturing!! But Fred is really a late lamented character who brought back to our screens a wonderful and exuberant trip into the world of Victorian engineering in the main. The advances made by the famous engineers of the day the hard work put in by many men who trained for many years to get to the top of their trade, and a glimpse at the apprentices who trained under them. I can watch these films for ever they are a real look into the past and hold a great deal of nostalgia for engineering and good old Fred.

A fair price for a great product. If you are interested in the good old days then this is for you. The youngsters of today should watch and learn from this.

I BOUGHT THIS SET ON A RECOMMENDATION BUT IT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. RATHER THAN FRED DIBNAH'S WORLD OF STEAM etc IT IS MORE OF A TRIBUTE TO FRED DIBNAH'S LIFE. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HEAR MORE FROM HIM AND LESS OF THE TRIBUTES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TRIBUTE TO FRED IT IS WELL DONE, AND THE PRICE IS VERY REASONABLE. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PROGRAMES HE MADE, THERE ARE BETTER DVDs.Fred Dibnah's World Of Steam, Steel & Stone Box Set [DVD]

Fred seems these days to have spawned many different series on many different topics, so much so it can be hard keeping up with them all. Read more
