Gross OT, Father Ted DVD

I know is OT but I just have to say this...



Recent bought some Father Ted DVDs. What great writing, humour, acting, plot, everything. Everything that is except the DVD user interface to episode selection. This has just GOT to be the worst piece of design ever to leave the drawing board! It ought to be accompanied by a 20 volume user guide and discount vouchers to attend a 3 weeks course on how to use it. Complete and utter JUNK! Really lets these excellent actors down (product wise that is).



Sorry

Well, uk.media.dvd will probably be better suited to this..

that nothing compared to the "The Day Today" DVD which is a serious brain test:

"Leave the controller alone when this finishes and Morris and Partridge will return for a further chat about the environment.

The Mark Radcliffe Show: Go into the Extended Scenes menu, press down from the Main Menu choice, then Enter and you'll be treated to an interview between Mark Radcliffe and Steve Coogan in the week that The Day Today was first shown.

Whilst the range of extras isn't bad, not when compared to so many other releases, they're largely baffling. Instead of making these extras available from a top menu, the BBC have hidden these off other menus with no reason why this should be the case. Go into this menu, back up, watch this, wait for two rotations of the menu and press up? Why? Because it's what the BBC expect of a Chris Morris/Warp DVD release? ."
