Here you have some brilliant film versions of some great books.Catherine Cookson was a fine writer and these movies really do shine as they should.This box set contains so many that you be watching them for month's.The acting is very good in all of the films and there are some well known stars in them.Overall a fantastic box set and a brilliant present for someone as well.Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Catherine Cookson set, 21 May 2008
My wife and I have enjoyed these DVDs for their general quality of story-telling and acting, despite the 4:3 format limitations, but the technical quality of some of them is atrocious - the older the copyright date quoted, the worse the transfer from whatever original ITV broadcast format to DVD. This is most marked in the set of 4 "Mallen Streak" stories copyrighted 1979/80 by Granada. No matter how I try to use today's technology to improve them, these are very grainy and dark. If anyone is concerned about such matters, beware!! Otherwise, just enjoy the stories.
