Not bad content but flawed encoding May 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I found these series to be fairly reasonable contentwise. The cooking related content was very good with the animal raising being particularly illuminating but the celebrity content seemed rather superfluous. That said, perhaps celebrity content would be more relevent to UK residents (I'm from downunder).

The absolute worst aspect (literally) of these DVDs is that they are incorrectly coded as being 16:9 when the main content is actually 4:3. This means that you need to manually switch aspect ratios on your display each time you watch them unless you like Gordon being 20 stone - if you cannot force the aspect ratio on your display, then you're stuck with fat Gordon. The packing misleading states that the content is 16:9 which it technically is due to the encoding flags but it is verging on false advertising.

I can understand the bleeping out of the swearing since this show would have aired at family TV hours and reencoding the audio may have been prohibitively expensive. More annoying for me are the commercial break trailers as these would have been easy to edit out.

As mentioned by others, the bleeping over Ramsay's foul mouth is absolutely ridiculous. OK for pre-watershed TV, but makes no sense for a DVD version. On top of that, it is missing Cliff Richard's episode (the one where he gives a low rating to his own brand of wine), and Amazon makes no mentioning of that...

Superb, but a couple of points to be aware of November 11, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I used to hate Ramsay - I though him foul mouthed, ill mannered. However, watching his kitchen nightmares turned me round - he knows his business, he's at the top of his game for a reason and he is who he is.
The F Word is a good mix of discsussion around food provenance, good cooking, humour and instruction; season two showcasing the assertion of Ramsay that his dishes can be cooked by anyone.
Two points to mention for prospective purchasers; 1; these disks, for some reason, cannot be played on a mac using the standard DVD player, I don't know why, but using VLC is a viable alternative (perhaps some dodgy anti-copy software?)
and 2: season 2, episode 2 is missing due to "clearance issues" - now it doesn't say what, but given that this was the episode where Cliff Richard admitted that his wine was rather unpleasant (at least compared to a nice vintage) you've got to guess that the Bachelor boy said "no"- That's pretty poor really - how do you spell "t-o-r-r-e-n-t"?

That said, a good buy, no frills - but that's a reasonable review of Ramsay himself.

I am so glad this has been released, ive been waiting for this for ages. Its such a great show, series one was pre watershed but still had some cracking moments, but series 2 was amazing. Absolutly love the show, and looking forwards to series 3 when its release, highly recommended!!!!

Quite annoying that the DVDs can't be played on Macs. And why are the producers beeping every F word? Ok on TV, but I am 39 years old and would like to decide myself if I want to listen to foul language or not.
