1.0 out of 5 stars I want my money back... 25 April 2005
By Peter B. Bjerke
If you like stills, lots of them, and find interest in looking at five burning candles being blown out + shots of a projector showing some movie, AND you have lots of money to throw, then you can buy this DVD. Seriously, BBC has so many resources, that producing something like this is a shame. When it comes to the desciption of the pope, it is poor. Among other things, the world youth days are not mentioned with a word (I stopped expecting for any shots from these after some 10 minutes with repeatedly watching candles being blown out). The research behind this video is poor - I really thought BBC could do better. Of the journalists giving their comments, two do a pretty good job, the other three or so seem unable to see things from another perspective than their own. I give it 1 - one - star, just because John Paul II actually shows up in a few live shots.
