5.0 out of 5 stars Fab Car, 31 Jan 2009

By	P. Statham "Scots Lass" (S. Glos. England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Robbie Coltrane's B-Road Britain - Complete Series
This was a very entertaining DVD. Humour, Scenery and that FAB car! What more could you want. Robbie talks to some interesting people, shows some quirky details about the country, and meanders! Just as I like to do. The car was the best thing for my husband, although he thoroughly enjoyed this DVD, as did I. More, much more, PLEASE. Highly recommended. AND you can get it very cheaply on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars B Road Britain. Robbie Coltrane, 27 Feb 2009

By	Jonathan GSH (Surrey countryside UK) - See all my reviews

Oh! the days of motoring past! A delightful DVD by the fantastic Robbie Coltrane, on the quiet roads of Britain (well some of them anyway). Robbie takes a trip from London to Glasgow using only the B roads. He takes in along the way, specially selected towns and villages, noted for their eccentricity and quaint customs! He discovers for instance, where the expression "Cock & Bull story" originated, or at least I think so!
He does all this in a vintage 1950s Jaguar soft top (I'm really jealous!) So, next time I go north, I'm going to try the B roads before they all disappear.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of a series., 11 Feb 2009

By	Social Drinker (England) - See all my reviews

Robbie is a masterly presenter, that is to say he is obviously not a professional TV presenter. He is clearly making this documentary because he loves the whole concept, and his delight in the whole thing is infectious. He has a nice way of confiding his thoughts and observations in you the viewer, as if it was just you and him on the journey. His clever natural wit is enjoyable, but never detracts from the detail, which is surprisingly well researched and presented. There is none of the dumb photography that ruins so many a good documentary, it is brilliantly shot and the sound quality is excellent. It would be difficult not to be interested by the subject matter, and the glorious scenery. Britain is still, down the B roads at least, beautiful eccentric and fascinating. Well worth the modest price.
