One of my favorite BBC TV series was the superb 1970's "DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET" starring Gemma Jones. I have both series on VHS and was thrilled that Acorn Media has issued the first series on a 5-DVD set.
Well....sort of thrilled.
After a decent start, (the 1st three episodes are quite good), the remaining episodes I've watched are blurry and lousy looking.
Even worst than the darn VHS sets from BBC/CBS Fox!
Is this typical of Acorn's quality? I emailed them regarding this issue and, of course, no reply.
If you like quality BBC dramas, you'll love this series.
However, I caution everyone as to the quality of the prints.
