The Complete Bod [DVD]

Very reasonable quality used DVD : part of the (now seemingly obsolete) Kult-Kidz collection of long decommissioned children's TV programmes. I bought this for my own kids but only because I had fond memories of watching them when a young-un myself. Interested to see how well they have stood the test of time: despite being on dvd, they are not digitally remastered but do produce the same sense of nostalgia that you might experience from a scratchy old vinyl record;- obviously they are a delight and an oddity as well as occasionally revelatory. Although TV is restricted to an X amount down our way, our young-un's love and request these old retrospective series' as much as they do the new one's, and sometimes, surprisingly, much more often, which just goes to reinforce the old adage: they don't make em like they used to . . . . !

How wonderful to see Bod again! The animation is quite astonishingly low-tech, and the stories unlikely to be winning any prizes, but this series is still splendid, and even modern 21st century kids can enjoy it. And John Le Measurer's voice is a joy to listen to.

Old classics for the kids, instead of a wall of noise and fast moving graphics from the modern stuff!!

...and now a classic for my children. This is safe, easy viewing for children - not like some of the shows on 'children's' TV nowadays.

I loved this series as a child and now my kids are enjoying them all over again. You gotta add it to your collection. Much better than modern cartoons with their slick CGI.

Childhood relived for me! As a kid of the 70's this was staple diet. Loved watching them again....much to the bemusement of my teenage kids!!

Classic kids tv - my daughter loved this - just shows you don't need flashy effects to entertain kids just great stories.

The Complete Bod was a gift for my 7 year old grandson and he absolutely loves it.
