Very disappointing.
The Amazon packshot clearly states that this is the "complete" series 1-4. It is not. Series 2-4 are complete, series 1 only has the first two episodes (of a possible 6). It's only in opening the cellophane-wrap and going inside the boxset that you find there are three sets within the packaging: the series 1-2 "25th Anniversary Edition" (which has 2 episodes from series 1 and all of series 2 and, sadly, is also advertised elsewhere on Amazon as being "complete"), together with the complete runs for series 3 and 4.
The series itself is a delight - and here's hoping that, one day, the distributors (Acorn in this instance) will sort out the strangely missing epsiodes as well as releasing the series 5.

I remember watching this back in the 1980s and really enjoyed it. Having just watched it again on DVD,I enjoyed it more the 2nd time around. The sound quality is a little poor in parts but it's well worth the money.

get this boxed set.
