Or you can rent each disc individually:
For those of you who actually read the excellent novels by John Jakes, some points made in the books are somewhat watered down to keep the whole thing suitable for a modern day audience. However, I think that on the whole the adaptation is very good. As a drama this still had me on the edge of my seat even after all these years (the series was made in 1985) and every episode's cliffhanger ending makes you want to watch the next one. If you like history and costume drama then please avoid any reviews that say 'avoid'. Granted, it's a bit of a commitment (18 hours in all) but for most of you I would seriously doubt that you would regret renting these titles.
loved it takes you back this does excellent even better on dvd
