However, I’ll add that yes, the commentary itself wasn’t as good as ITV’s during the season, bar all the annoying commercial breaks. Still brought back some fond pictures of the season.
Wasn’t happy in particular with the amount and angle of some footage though.

Got the DVD.
Still shake like I don’t already know the outcome whenever I watch it.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

What an exiting season. I bought it, played on my Blu Ray player and HD TV and the picture quality is really bad. I was disappointed. They are presenting all GP on HD format and are not able to provide fans a better season review DVD quality. Shame on them!

This dvd is an incredible disappointment and a waste of money. Yet again F1 could have done so much more and succeeded only in coming up embarrassingly short…

Completely agree! This year's review doesn't seem to have earned itself many positive reviews and I'm a bit surprised that Keith gave it 5/5 The Autosport forums took a distinct dislike to it. Pretty much sums up all my views there (page two onwards)

The DVD was awful. The narration somehow manages to take the excitement and drama out of the races with awkward commentary that is always trailing the action. It puts you to sleep. The recaps are totally incoherent—if I did not watch the race I would have no idea what happened.

Keith, not to pitpick or anything, but you said:

The 2008 F1 season review DVD has a lot of action to pack in and so, for the first time ever, it has been released as a two-disc set.

Wasn’t 2007 also a two-disc set?
