Brilliant, apart from the absence of any audio description of the important parts you can't see.

Miss the bits you can't something see.

For fans who have the whole show seared into their brains, this is a fantastic release. So happy I can take Dwarf with me everywhere.

But def not for those who haven't seen the show. So many visual gags or plot developments that will be a mystery in this format. Personally, I'm happy there's no narration added as it keeps it matching the shows in my head, but a first time listener will be frequently clueless as to what's going on!

Perfect for Dwarf Fans

Amazing stories on a classic show and the general quality is excellent. However, these later series of the classic run relied a little more heavily on visual gags and storytelling, which can prove tricky here as there has been no additional narration added.

Classic show - audio needs a tweak

Loved listening to the episodes, not been adapted for radio, so means you have to remember where some visual jokes are but for avid fans it’s easy.

Brings back great memories
