How's The Tap on BD Dave? Worth me trading up from DVD?

Cant compare it to the DVD i'm affraid, as i've only ever seen it on tv before, but picture wise it seemed a pretty good transfer.I thought the DTS-HD MA sountrack was pretty good too.

Thought it was ridiculousy disjointed and couldn't watch anymore than 10 mins.But i have read elswhere that it settled down a bit after that so YMMV.

Yep. Watched that too. Very enjoyable but too short and skimmed over too much for me. I could have done with a 2 hour version with more detail.


 


Funny how they were all interviewed seperately. I wonder if they hate each other now..... Except Palin..... Everyone likes Palin.

Re: What are you watching?

I have been reading Michael Palin's diaries from the Monty Python Years and yes, they don't really get on as a group, but it was that dynamic that helped to make and then break the Pythons.


Watched the new episode of House, with the hero now locked up in an asylum having finally met his apparent match with the head doctor there. Series six and still excellent.
