DVD Reviews of The Dirt Detective with Craig Ferguson
DVD Review: Something for Craig Ferguson fans and history buffs alike
Summary: 5 Stars
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS (Monday-Friday 12:37AM EST) has generated a lot of interest in the man who entertains us with his unique brand of humor five nights a week. His current show may be the first opportunity many of us have had to see him, unless you were previously a fan of the Drew Carey Show. But here's a series that gives you a better idea of the versatility of this man. In 1993, Craig Ferguson was contracted to do "The Dirt Detective" for Scottish Television. The show, which Ferguson wrote and presents, explores the history of Scotland, beginning with the Stone Age and moving up to more recent times. Ferguson's personality shines through and adds warmth and humor to the already fascinating subject he covers. I think you'll enjoy the unique look and somewhat mystical feel of the show as well. I highly recommend it to Craig Ferguson fans and history buffs alike.DVD Review: Digging Scotland!
Summary: 4 Stars
A very young Craig Ferguson, before he developed the polished persona that he has today. However, I see the early techniques in this program that he uses on his current show (feet on the desk at the end of the show, etc).
It's a nice personal touch to an archaeological study of Scotland. I like that he put his father in one scene. I thought that was sweet. I just enjoyed the experience!
DVD Review: GRRREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this DVD!
It is a bit like a home movie in some ways,rather low budget. However, there is a charm to that, in that it doesn't NEED to be high tech, and we are drawn in to the subject matter, and the very charming host. Ferguson is very real and very enthusiastic. For those of us fascinated with Scotland and obscure history, this is highly entertaining and informative.
DVD Review: Craig knows his homeland well
Summary: 5 Stars
Believe it or not, a documentary can be interesting and entertaining. This one is.Along with the obvious,his humor,Craig Ferguson goes to different parts of Scotland, talking to people who are experts on their particular area, walking the ground he's talking about.There's also quite a bit of local history included, which makes it even more interesting. All in all, well worth the money spent buying and the time spent watching.DVD Review: The Dirt Detective
Summary: 5 Stars
More than 15 years ago (as is apparent from seeing how much younger he was) the Scottish Conan guy Craig Ferguson hosted an archaeological TV show in Scotland.
This six part series just recently came out on DVD in American format. It is really fun to watch. It is interesting from the standpoint of seeing things like the best preserved 5,000 year old Neolithic settlement in Europe. Even back then Craig Ferguson marched to the beat of a different drummer, and he is funny to watch.
These DVDs do not have subtitles. Even though Craig Ferguson and all the people he interviews are speaking the Queen's English, I do miss some of the words. And this is coming from a guy who owns (and wears) a real honest Scottish kilt which I bought in Scotland. And not at some tourist shop either. I have travelled widely in Scotland on several different occasions. Even so, my DVD player remote control is getting a good workout, rewinding a little and listening to a phrase or sentence again.
I recommend this set of DVDs to anyone who likes archaeology, likes Scotland, or is a fan of Craig Ferguson.
