Directors Commentary
"Peter de Lane here, inviting you to sit back, relax and enjoy my Directors Commentary series. Join me as I look back over my super work on classic shows such as Bonanza, Flambards and Mr & Mrs to name but three. Soak up the behind-the-scenes atmosphere as I talk you through the trademarks of my work: classic de Lane contrasts, death in television and such wonderful tableaux as three actors and a pot plant.
But I can hear you saying: 'Well, that's super, Peter, but what are we getting for our hard-earned readies?' Let me tell you: important questions are raised - can a good man wear a black hat? Can a black man wear a good hat? I think so... Technical terms laid bare, and I draw from my experience of my first love, musical theatre (tell a lie, my first love is badger baiting, but that's another story).
Marvel with me at the wonderful actors - the young, the old, the now dead (thoughts with the family) and the glassy-eyed young fellows to whom I'll always be grateful for bringing sex to the screen. It's always important to have sex... if I hadn't said it, you would.
A final thought before you take the case to the checkout and make this wisest of purchases: this DVD is something I'm very proud of but as always in television it is you, the viewer, who will be the judge."
