2.0 out of 5 stars Too much puff. Not enough substance., 14 Mar 2007

By	Brim (England) - See all my reviews

Yes Dan's pieces-to-camera from his vintage car, while being carried on a trailer are obvious and unnecessary but this isn't the rason why LWF-G pales in comparison to 'Mitchell and Kenyon'. There simply isn't enough intersting, quality footage and far too much filler. I would have liked to have seen more 'then and now' comparison pictures. Irritating too was Dan's recapping at the start of every episode as to the who and why of F-G and his journey; the DVD production should have been edited differently from the televised.

The BBC did well to eke out 3 episodes from the material I think. At the end of each episode Dan tells us that we can see more footage online but surely all the best stuff was used on the programmes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tantalizing, but unsatisfying, 17 May 2006

By	K. G. Godwin (Winnipeg, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once again, as with The Lost World of Mitchell & Kenyon, the BBC has managed to take a remarkable piece of film history -- in this case colour films from the 1920s depicting a journey from Land's End to John O'Groats -- and turn the amazing images into mere wallpaper for a generally trite, if occasionally moving, exercise in potted social history. Despite the power of the restored films, this is even less satisfying than the Mitchell & Kenyon series because almost nothing is known about Friese-Greene. Can't wait for the BFI to issue an edition of the films by themselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok good but could have been better, 18 Sep 2007

By	"Smith" Reader (West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

After Michell and Kenyan I really wanted to see and enjoy The Lost World Of Friese-Greene. This is an interesting set,much too much talk really for my liking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missed opportunity
Very mixed feelings about this DVD. Glad we bought it, well worth watching for the historic footage, but shocking amount of repetition to pad out the programme time.

Published 9 months ago by Mr. P. O'brien

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
What the BBC should be doing. Beautifully shot, produced and researched. As good, if not better than, The Lost World of Mitchell & Kenyon. More please!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Cruickshank factor...
Dan Cruickshank is clearly a very pleasant man but he should not be allowed to present television programmes in my opinion. Read more
