Bugs was a British television drama series which ran for four seasons from April 1995 to August 1999. It was originally broadcast on Saturday evenings on BBC One & was produced for the BBC by the independent production company Carnival Films. The series was devised by Carnival boss Brian Clemens, who had previously worked on The Avengers & described Bugs as an Avengers for the 1990s. The programme was a mixture of action/adventure & science-fiction, with a reliance on fast-paced plots, technical gadgetary, stunts & explosions. Much of the programmes filming took place around the London Docklands area, which had recently been redeveloped with projects such as Canary Wharf. This was intended to give a modern & perhaps even slightly futuristic, feel to locations of the episodes. The plot of the programme involved a team of specialist independent crime-fighting technology experts, who faced a variety of threats based around computers & other modern technology. The main trio of regulars were Beckett, Roz & Ed.

Many a Bugs fan has been waiting for the DVD to come out, & if your a fan or just remember the series this is a must buy. The episodes are as great as always although the quality is the same as on tv. The menu system is average & so is navigation.

The extras are the real let down with the package. Theres an extra disk but the information on it isnt anything special & the extras on the DVDs are things like photo galleries. DO NOT JUST BUY FOR THE EXTRAS Overall, I loved this series on TV & the DVD is good vaule for money & great to watch.
