Product Description
Studio: Acorn Media Release Date: 06/14/2005 Run time: 75 minutes Rating: Nr
A visual feast for Anglophiles, Visions of England is the third installment of the popular PBS-aired Visions series, which applies the Over Washington (or whatever state) formula to European countries. It begins with the welcoming white cliffs of Dover, moves north to York, Hadrian's Wall, and Liverpool, over to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, down to Cambridge and Oxford, then back to the sights of London. The journey naturally includes plenty of castles and other ruins, cathedrals, manor houses, countrysides, and cities. Even if you're a frequent visitor to England or a postcard collector, you'll be seeing things from an entirely new angle in this spectacular aerial footage (shot from a helicopter; you can catch the occasional shadow). The music is pleasant and appropriate, and the narration is informative but thankfully minimal (sometimes lapsing into cuteness along the lines of "You know, 1066 and all that."). Added to the DVD are 19 minutes of narrator-less bonus footage. Perhaps a future installment or two will cover Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. --David Horiuchi

Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Released in '05, `Visions of England' is the third production in the series. As with the previous two (Greece and Italy) immediately the audience is whisked away high above the maddening crowd to view an England, both urban and rural, in breathtaking fashion. The music is beautifully in sync with the visuals as is the narration. A treat to be enjoyed by the traveler in all of us.

Takes me back time and again. I love England and it helps with being 'homesick' for that beautiful country.

I can only echo what the other reviewers have written about "Visions of
England" the only complaints I have with it are the music is quite different from what I heard on PBS, There is no listing of the music pieces in the booklet, which would have been a nice addition to the booklet. As some of the reivewers wrote there is so much more scenery that could have been put on the disc. Though as it is a nice time can be spent watching this DVD which can be said about any of the "Visions" series.
