    It's also just £20 at Amazon
    It's a great introduction to the films. There aren't as many of the fancy extras and the best commentaries like you get on the fancier DVDs. But at that price it's hard to complain about it.

    They also missed out The Small Back Room & Gone to Earth, they should be included to make it a real P&P collection.

    Julian might not like some of them, but that's no reason to not watch them all. They all have their charms

    I must admit I am surprised they have not been included (unless they want to a volume 2 and needed them as selling points)

    It was probably a rights issue. ITV, the people behind the 11 DVD boxed set, don't have the distribution rights to all the P&P films in the UK. The UK DVD of Gone to Earth was issued by Pearson, the company behind the Financial Times
