This is wonderful animated television, taking the viewer back to simpler times. There is no shouting, no "celebs" (vacuous nobodies), just clean fun. The animation is basic, but charming. Oliver Postgate had a lovely voice, warm and inviting.
The big gripe with this 3 dvd set, which looks great as a package, is that the claim to have all the Ivor the Engine's ever made in colour. The box lists 24 episodes, but only goes up to 17 on the actual dvd, missing out some lovely episodes, and only playing therefore for just over 2 hours, not over 3 hours as it should. Be warned!

Ivor the Engine here has ALL of the colour episodes as promised, but none of the black-and-whites. Check for other sets on Amazon, too, especially for the Clangers.

According to the internet Ivor the Engine has 40 episodes
but be warned.
it only has 16 epsiodes on the dvd despite showing only 24 on the back cover.
so complete does not mean complete on this dvd set or even half complete
but be warned.

Memory doesn't cheat!
I was somewhat apprehensive when purchasing this that my 4 and 2 year old would be unimpressed with it in this day and age of Pixar and Dreamworks: I needn't have worried. Read more

Clangers/Bagpuss/Ivor The Engine [DVD]
I enjoyed them but I'm not too sure about my 3 1/2 year old son.
He liked Ivor the Engine, but I think Clangers were a little too
slow paced for his world of 'Ultraman'... Read more

Oliver Postgate Special
Fabulous compilation dvd for the young and the young at heart. Ivor the Engine never loses it's charm, lovely gentle stuff and dragons too. Perhaps I'm biased, being Welsh. Read more
