As mentioned before 3 dvds & with only 3 "new" episodes compared to the vhs releases. Another drawback is that unlike Pingwings & Noggin they don't come in one set but as 3 separate DVDs at £14.99 - inc p&P - each. Though you can buy all 3 for £40 which also includes the "Trouble With Magic" CD-Rom of the pogles & the witch stories from the annuals; which uses those illustrations accompanied by O.P. reading the stories What suprises me a bit is that the "Trouble With Magic" material wasn't included in DVD format ( which is far more user friendly )with the "The Pogles" DVD which is only an hour long. The "Pogles Wood" & "Pogles Choice" DVDs( 6 episodes each )are also rather short at only about 1H 15 mins each. They'll also be available from Sendit.com soon - but the past DFS dvds have been cheaper direct from DFS; so probably that will be the case with these also. I just hope that one day O.P. will give a complete Pogles Wood series 1 & 2 his blessing & we'll get to see the 14 Pogles Wood episodes not on these dvds ( 13 of which have never been available on vhs or any other format ) Still : Any Pogles - especially "new" Pogles - is good Pogles!
( the £40 also includes a CD-Rom of the O.P. autobiog "Seeing Things" ).
