I really like Keith Floyd's cookery shows but this DVD production is of very bad quality. The sound is terrible and the picture is not much better. It would look and sound better on VHS. So I would not bother with this set and would suggest waiting for something better at a later date.On further veiwing and to much annoyance i thought I'd add at the major disappointment of the production of this DVD with todays technology I think DELTA have been very lazy with this box set and have shown no respect to this great man and his ground breaking programms, cheap and nasty stay well clear and hope someone else in the future will do a greatly improved job of copying these programs to disc for future people to enjoy. Great programs C**p production.

I have loved Keith Floyd's cookery shows since Floyd on Fish. He is a genuine talent on television and a master chef and makes truly entertaining cookery programmes. This is an inspirational box set but my big disappointment is that it leaves out the two greatest Floyd series: Floyd on Britain and Ireland, which is outstanding in the cookery genre, and Floyd on France, which is the finest cookery series ever in my opinion. Why the publishers chose to ignore these gems is quite beyond me.

I have been waiting for several years for someone to release the Keith Floyd series on DVD. As soon as I saw that this was available, I placed my order. My only caveat was that the Fish, Food, Britain and Ireland, Oz and USA series weren't included.
Although it's so good to see Keith's series again, especially Spain, Italy and Far Flung, I was extremely disappointed in the picture and sound quality of the DVDs. It certainly isn't anywhere near the quality that I expect from commercially produced DVDs, especially as most originate from the BBC. I reckon if I still had my VHS videos that I recorded from the original broadcasts, I could produce similar results by capturing them to my PC and transcoding them to DVD myself.
If you want to see Keith Floyd again, buy this box set. However, don't expect the picture quality to be up to normal standards, so bear that in mind before you order!

Keith Floyd is the master
Keith Floyd was really the person who created this whole genre with travelling chefs. Actually he was just as much an anthropologist as a traveller and a chef. Read more

Cracking box set
Nice box set covering most of Mr. Floyd's culinary adventures. Nice price and interesting viewing. Certainly beats watching the repeats on TV with adverts every 10 minutes.

Without "Floyd on France"....pointless
Pointless really...Marco Pierre White described "Floyd on France" as probably the best cookery tv series made.If you have this boxset you've been hoodwinked.
