This has to be the worst DVD I have ever bought.
This has to be the worst DVD I have ever bought. Most of the content was filmed at the 2002 Dorset Steam Fair, the footage consists of the cameraman lingering for far too long on ill-composed shots of the backs of caravans, obscured by people, modern cars, awnings, windbreaks and chairs. There are so many panoramic views of the fair, donkeys, lorries, steam engines and people that I thought it was a cheap trailer for the Steam Fair.
The depressing and overpowering ‘Back-ground’ music alternated between something you’d expect to hear at a Russian funeral to the backing track of a 1970s porno film.
The sparse narration started with a long and boring monologue read from the 1889 Barnet Press which had little relevance to the film, the rest of the narration was just as interesting, the monotone dirge almost encourages suicide.
I was expecting 55 minutes of interesting dialogue, enthusiastic descriptions and enlightening film shot inside vans that I would not normally have access to, sadly, what I saw, was amateur film taken at an old steam fair, followed by the narrator reading ‘word perfect’ from a brochure about the different ranges of mobile homes, describing wider gutters and luxury (rubbish) interiors. This DVD is a total waste of money. With so much subject matter these days for caravans in UK, and with the growing interest in old vans from the 1920s onwards, I was expecting an entertaining hour. The reality was, that I was bored stiff from rubbish camera work and commentary. The cameraman looks to have just walked around a steam fair taking the video equivalent of boring and ill-conceived snapshots. I will not be buying anymore DVDs made by InstantVision Ltd, and I’d suggest you don’t either.

Still a Need for these Openers
There is still a need for these style of can openers, Carnation milk for example. This particular opener does what it says on the tin, opens everything it's designed for. Well made, well presented and cheap into the bargain.
Buy one now whilst they are still available.

How we used to play
1 of 1 found this helpful A model from our childhood. This model would have been expensive in it's day, children valued the models and tended to take more care of them. The Dinky and Corgi models gave a close-up insight into the grown-up's world.
This model has operating features, the scanner can be rotated with fingertip control, The aerial raised and then stowed again on the roof, could be driven anywhere or parked wherever you thought fit. A solid toy with 'Presence', it set the mind working - What did the scanner scan for? Why is there a red light on top of the aerial? Who sat inside behind the windows? Why is it painted Cream with bright Orange stripes? What does the word Decca mean?
So durable? - yes, it's solid and heavy, made of metal, very little plastic to snap off.
Entertaining? - yes, moving parts that move at the command of the owner, play with it with model aircraft, other vehicles, in fact just about any scenario.
Educational? - yes of course, why? why? why?, the model raises more questions than answers, the model is a springboard to knowledge and answers.
