i see that amazon made the effort to release this here but at £9. 99 to buy just for sd for the whole series compared with £7. 99 to buy the hd version of a feature - length film i do not think it is value for money and i think wallace and gromit look and sound great in high definition. therefore i would recommend either buying the 2 - disc dvd release of curse of the were - rabbit, which has this series as a special feature on disc 2, or watching it on the official wallace and gromit you tube channel. the botched theme tune is at the end of turbo diner. on both the dvd and you tube releases soccamatic is at the beginning and shopper 13 is at the end and i think they are better that way round .
