    TERRIBLE PICTURE AND SOUND QUALITY

    What a rip off this is. Looks like someone took out their old VHS video tapes and put it straight to DVD with no attempt to remaster it. Video drop outs, tape hiss, wow and flutter are all present. I will not buy this till some attempt is made to improve the techinical quality. I know this is possible, since the quality of the same serial is much better on Zee TV.
