• Tony Robinsons Crime And Punishment | DVD | (17/10/2011) from £37.09   |  Saving you £-17.10 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Tony Robinson goes on a fascinating and sometimes bizarre journey to discover the origins of our laws and what we do to people when they break from them. From trials by boiling water, through the decapitation of a king, to the emergence of a modern democracy, it is a journey that starts two thousand years ago and remains unfinished today. We find out how the Normans created the first surveillance society, how today’s compensation culture was started by Anglo Saxons and how a man whose body was kept in a London cupboard inspired us to stop stringing people up and start locking them up instead. Throughout his historical journey, Tony plays the part of the accused, judge, jury and executioner and discovers the often strange circumstances from which the main tenants of modern English law emerged.

• The American Civil War | DVD | (07/10/2002) from £39.95   |  Saving you £10.04 (25.13%)   |  RRP £49.99

  The most successful public-television miniseries in American history, the 11-hour American Civil War defined what has since become known as the "Ken Burns approach"--voice-over narrators reading letters and documents dramatically and stating the writer's name at their conclusion, fresh live footage of places juxtaposed with still images (photographs, paintings, maps, prints), anecdotal interviews, and romantic musical scores taken from the era he depicts. The American Civil War uses all of these devices to evoke atmosphere and resurrect an event that many knew only from stale history books. While Burns is a historian, a researcher, and a documentarian, he's above all a gifted storyteller, and it's his narrative powers that give this chronicle its beauty, overwhelming emotion, and devastating horror. Using the words of old letters, eloquently read by a variety of celebrities, the stories of historians like Shelby Foote and rare, stained photos, Burns allows us not only to learn and understand history, but also to feel and experience it. --Dave McCoy

• Blood Upon the Snow - Russia's War | DVD | (15/10/2012) from £40.48   |  Saving you £-10.49 (-35.00%)   |  RRP £29.99

  This is the incredibly powerful story of the Stalin years. It is based on rarely seen archival footage, contemporary diaries and documents and personal memoirs, as well as interviews with relatives and those people who survived the Gulag labour camps and World War II. It follows the events from Stalin's rise to power, his association with Hitler and the Soviet involvement in the Second World War right through to his death. First regarded as a visionary, it soon became apparent that Stalin was a capricious, ruthless tyrant who would arrange for the ‘removal’ of anyone he thought was opposing him. For nearly 30 years, he maintained power without challenge by manipulating his people through propaganda, state sponsored lies and terror. In this tremendously moving and at times graphic, harrowing and shocking documentary, we witness the suffering and sacrifices of the people of the Soviet Union and discover what led to the death of millions of Soviet citizens during the Great Patriotic War.

• The Definitive Boxing Legends 4 DVD Box Set - Fabulous Four Hagler, Hearns, Leonard & Duran, Tyson, Muhammad Ali and The History of Heavyweight Boxing | DVD | (06/06/2011) from £49.99   |  Saving you £-20.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Fabulous Four Contains archival footage from the '70s and '80s amassed by promoter Bob Arum. Focuses on the decade-long four-way rivalry between Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hitman Hearns and Marvellous Marvin Hagler. Mike Tyson Tyson rose from a boyhood of dire poverty and crime to become the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history and one of the richest and most famous athletes on the planet. But no sooner had he reached the top of the professional ranks than everything started to fall apart. Two marriages came and went, his championship slipped away, and his career descended into a carnival of crooked promoters, femmes fatales, assaults, prison and, after winning more than $300 million in his career, bankruptcy. Even at the age of 40, Mike Tyson continued to fight to pay his bills. His fall is famous, but the reasons are as complex and misunderstood as Mike himself. This fascinating documentary looks at the man whose spectacular rise and fall has fascinated the world like that of no other. Muhammad Ali: Champion of the Century Ali was “The Champ”; arguably one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time and one of the most charismatic and recognisable personalities the sport has ever had to offer. Follow Ali from the beginning through to the heights of his career, with stunning footage of some of the best fights of his career. Watch him battle against Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Henry Cooper, Floyd Patterson, Doug Jones and Chuck Wepner (the real Rocky Balboa) to name but a few. Ali was perhaps more famous out of the ring as he deployed his considerable personality to taunt his opponents and shamelessly boast of his own prowess. As a celebrity, he was larger than life. This programme is peppered with interviews and press conferences where you can watch as Ali exhibits his famous flair. This programme is a must have for any boxing fan. History of Heavyweight Boxing Dangerous, exciting and often controversial, the Heavyweight division has always represented the peak of the sport. The biggest fighters battling it out in the ultimate contest of strength, endurance and skill. This programme chronicles the history of heavyweight boxing from its origins, through to the careers of some of the sport s most influential boxers of their generation, including Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson. With exciting archive footage of some of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time, such as Floyd Patterson s defeat against Ingemar Johansson and his subsequent victory, and several of Mohamed Ali s most famous fights: from his unexpected victory over reigning champion Sonny Liston (as Cassius Clay) to his epic bouts with long time rival Joe Frazier. Packed with fight footage and bursting with action, this DVD is a must have for any boxing fan.
