Sets that I have and like:

"The World at War," >15 volumes, Laurence Olivier narrating, fantastic
"History of England," 5 volumes, Simon Schama, interesting and fun
"The First World War," 4 volumes, Ian Kershaw

I have a preference for history or science.

I find that DVDs with the History Channel label are usually not as good as those from BBC. History Channel seems so disappointing these days — always shows like "Modern Marvels" and shows about infantry weapons in war. Would be a lot more interesting to see something about history!
