Default Essential Skills

As a newbee to the art of fly fishing I have been advised by one of our Forum
members to buy Oliver Edwards essential skills dvd's.
They would give me valuable insight on the subject.
Once I have watched them he said that he would give me some on river
tuition. ( Well I think thats what he meant)
So today I have ordered the set of 8
My question to our members is-are they in order 1-2-3 etc.
If not - what would you suggest the order of watching be.
I will be fishing my local rivers.
Look forward to your replies.

Bruce,
Do you find that you watch them again and again? Or are they they just one-shot viewing
I'm tempted that's all - I fancy the streamer one as well, sounds interesting
