Lisa Awarded The Blast Off Buddies” CBeebies character Boj’s first DVD 5/5
Excellent value for money as it has 10 episodes and a variety of bonus features. Very Impressed that the DVD is almost 2 hours long meaning that little ones will not bore of it quickly. Simple, bright and appealing to children of all ages in an easy to open case. I like that the Cbeebies logo is clearly displayed helping grown-ups to know what is likely to be a good choice for their child. The insert was a great resource for Boj apps and games. A good mix of episodes and bonus features too. The characters are varied and visually pleasing. It is a
fun and educational show that builds kids up on so many levels. Creativity, problem solving and more are intertwined into the stories and this makes it something I am more than happy to watch the little ones watch. It is something that adults can enjoy with the kids and I found myself watching the TV to see what happened next. Favourites were ‘Happy Birthday’, Carry On Carrot’, and Sneezy Snufferoos’. Not only did the kids enjoy this, I did too and I felt the developmental encouragement did not over power the show making unappealing to kids. Less TV guilt for me, and fun and education for them. Subtle learning, creativity and problem solving is introduced and is well integrated into the stories to keep them fun and spark interesting conversations that promote further learning. No need for something
like this to be in Blu-ray and then be charged over the odds for it so I am glad that the format was DVD. Quality viewing delivered in a simple but effective format. This product is excellent value for money and worth every penny. Even if it was not a show that was a firm favourite before, the value for money and content is hard to overlook. This DVD is great for families with children of all ages and I would definitely recommend this DVD to any parent looking for something new, or warmly-loved, for their little one(s). Loved by all in this
house. Excellent value for money 2-hour DVD with aspects of learning, but oodles of fun for young kids from TV favourite- Boj. Lisa McNeil – Hugh, Eilidh & Chloe – 5, 4 & 2 years

Fiona Awarded The Blast Off Buddies” CBeebies character Boj’s first DVD 4.8/5
The DVD arrived promptly and packaged well. The children loved it instantly and ask to watch it each night as we arrive home. The DVD was packaged well in a padded envelope and arrived safely included stickers and a badge which the children loved. The front of the DVD looks good and is informative. The children love it there are different episodes on the DVD and you can either watch them all or skip to the one you like best. My 2 like to watch all of the episodes. My son likes to watch it in French. My 2 children were excited from the moment I told them we had been allocated the DVD. When it came in the post they ripped it open and put it on straight away. They watch all of the episodes as this is an option in the menu at the beginning. My eldest liked to watch the episodes in French which is an
option on the DVD. My eldest has been watching it in French as so he has improved his French language skills. They also sing along to the theme tune which helps their memory and develops musical skills and language skills. The quality is excellent. I was surprised at how cheap the DVD was, I thought more like £9.99 as you do get a selection of episodes. I would buy this for my child, they have really enjoyed it. I would recommend the DVD to others, it is fun and educational and the children really get into it. Great fun DVD for children based on the TV show Boj, he gets up to all sorts in the episodes and the children were mad on it and asked each night we got in if they could watch it, I sat with them and watched it, I really enjoyed it too. Good fun DVD for the children to watch and learn whilst not even realising they are doing so, the character is cute and engaging…the children loved it. Fiona Ainsworth – Barney &

Wendy Awarded The Blast Off Buddies” CBeebies character Boj’s first DVD 4.2/5
The cover is colourful and my daughter immediately recognised it as Boj (she enjoys Boj when she sees it on CBeebies). She was very excited to put it on and watch it. It was bright, colourful and eye-catching. It was immediately recognisable as Boj. The DVD case was standard with a paper insert. It was very child friendly and my daughter wanted to look at the cover. There was a range of episodes on the DVD. My daughter enjoyed choosing the ones she wanted to watch from the DVD menu. The stories are cute, with moral messages about being friendly, helpful and looking after each other. She has asked to watch it on a number of occasions. Before receiving the DVD, my daughter would watch Boj occasionally. She now wants to watch it regularly. It’s not educational in the traditional sense but there are social themes and the story lines were something we could talk about. It is a good quality DVD, well put together and child-friendly. For £7.25 this was good value. I would purchase this although there are episodes on TV which can be watched for free! I would recommend this, especially for friends with children of a similar age. It is a good DVD which my daughter has really enjoyed watching. A good quality DVD which my daughter really enjoyed. It was Boj-a-boom! Wendy May – Rebecca 5 years
