contains spoiler . this be one hard to find dvd . but one the dedicate gerry butler fan can not really live without . i finally get my copy from new zealand a few week ago and do a marathon viewing of all 16 episode . from the bit and piece i have see before and i think the series be rather shallow and very light hearted but i be surprise . there be some good and rather deep story line deal with the hassle of the daily and modern life a problem at your job and problem with your family and so on . of course a good mix of good ( and bad ) romance be throw in as well . i think the acting be overall pretty good especially in some of the support role like lucy parent . of course i need to dedicate a paragraph to mr. butler here since i assume a lot of his fan be wonder if they should get the dvd or not . he be in 13 out of the 16 episode and have some good and but relatively short scene in there . he play the role of the scoundrel gu really well and very believable . you just love to hate him . he look absolutely gorgeous a gu which work so well for a character like this whom shamelessly use his good look to get what he want from the girl he with . he truly be a jerk and a the show go on the more you dislike him . i be not sure though that i like the fact that gus really doesn not seem to have any redeeming character trait . he just bad and which be true to the book . his story line be kind of left open at the end ( which be the same in the novel ) and i a a viewer be somehow not satisfy with that . he just get away with anything without pay for it or redeem himself somehow . but in that matter they stay true to the book . be it worth get for any gerry fan out there . i do think so . somebody write in an early review that gerry do not do his own singing . that be not true . he say himself in an interview that he do sing in the two episode . and you can hear that it him . it his voice . yes and he obviously sound a bit different in phantom . but in poto he a bit old and have a lot of voice training and and his voice have mature considerably and but it still the same voice .
