5/5 Great British comedy
  by K. Darby (Florida)
This was my favorite British comedy for years, Also enjoyed Good Neighbors, Fawlty Towers, The Vicar of Dibley.
The humor was perfect, the situations incredible. The wit excellent.
Do not care for the obvious [...], but these hit the nail on the head for pure entertainment.

1/5 disappointed

I have the complete "to the manor born series" from the 70's LOVE it and watch it frequently.

I was thrilled to see the Anniversary special and popped it into DVD as soon as I got it.

Very disappointing - the characters seem to have lost some of their "pizazz" and didnt click as well as they did in the original series.

The story line was very weak and the DVD much too short, I think they should have made it longer and put more story into it.

I wish I had found it used instead of paying full premium price.

5/5 To the Manor Born: Silver Anniversary Special
  by Kathryn Clatworthy (St. Cloud, FL USA)
This was refreshing! To watch the entire series of, "To the Manor born", was delightful. Most of us always wondered if they would ever marry, and finally on the last episode they did. After that, we sat contemplating what would happen next.
What a treat! Thank you!!!! Finally the writters realized that we wanted more and they came through for us. What a treat to find a special edition sequal to the years and years of watching the entire series over and over again.
The Silver Anniversary special has a lot of twists and turns. Dear old Bravenger is no longer around but he was getting up in age as we all are...Margerie lives at the old lodge and as usual Audrey takes charge of the Manor and all that goes on. Unfortunately a problem with the villagers makes for an interesting twist of fate. Who is the secret "green farmer" who so underhandidly is taking over the crops? What is happening to every one that has Audrey up in arms, and actually force her to move back to the lodge as an irratating house guest to Margerie? Is Deveres marriage to Audrey over? you'll have to watch the movie to see what happens. The only thing wrong with this picture is there's only one! OK writters, do your thing and lets get some more episodes!

5/5 A great sequel to a great series.

I love this series and missed it when it went off the air. I was so excited when I saw this dvd. I rented it from Netflix but I couldn't resist adding it to my library. I already own the series. Since I'm an Anglophile I love most of the Britcoms. This special about their 25th anniversary was fun and they still have the chemistry. If you love the series you will love the 25th anniversary special. Watch and see!

3/5 To The Manor Born: Silver Wedding Anniversary
  by Mark Parsley (Bladensburg, Ohio)
I expected the same quailty of humor in the amicable tension that occured between the main characters in the original series (circa late 1970's). I was disapointed. While the 25th anniversary special was enjoyable and I DO NOT reget purchasing it, I wasn't as pleased with the comedic situations in which the characters were placed. Rather than appearing to be a natural consequence of the character's circumstances, the tension between the main chacters (Audry and Richard) in this 25th anniversary special seemed contrived; therefore, the comedy was less satisifying.
