quality: excellent

Author note:  I've seen it exists on only one DVD, but I've shared and traded single episodes from several sites and persons. One episode has a lenght aprox 24 minutes (240 mns) and so they have to compress them to put all into one. This 3 DVD set is not compressed in no cases and shows an excellent quality.

producer of the documentary: Barry Ryan, Director: Fay Gibson
