  • Men Behaving Badly - Series 2 [1992]Men Behaving Badly - Series 2 | DVD | (05/06/2000) from £4.99   |  Saving you £15.00 (300.60%)   |  RRP £19.99

    The ultimate small-screen representation of Loaded-era lad culture--albeit a culture constantly being undermined by its usually sharper female counterpart--there seems little argument that Men Behaving Badly was one of 1990s' definitive sitcoms. Certainly the booze-oriented, birds-obsessed antics of Martin Clunes' Gary and Neil Morrissey' Tony have become every bit as connected to Britain's collective funny bone as Basil Fawlty's inept hostelry or Ernie Wise's short, hairy legs. Yet, the series could easily have been cancelled when ITV viewers failed to respond to the original version, which featured Clunes sharing his flat with someone named Dermot, played by Harry Enfield. Indeed, it was only when the third series moved to the BBC and was then broadcast in a post-watershed slot--allowing writer Simon Nye greater freedom to explore his characters' saucier ruminations--that the show began to gain a significant audience. By then, of course, Morrissey had become firmly ensconced on the collective pizza-stained sofa, while more screen time was allocated to the boys' respective foils, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash. Often glibly dismissed as a lame-brained succession of gags about sex and flatulence, the later series not only featured great performances and sharp-as-nails writing but also sported a contemporary attitude that dared to go where angels, and certainly most other sitcoms, feared to tread. Or, as Gary was once moved to comment about soft-porn lesbian epic Love in a Women's Prison: "It's a serious study of repressed sexuality in a pressure-cooker environment." Series 2 includes: "Gary and Tony", in which Tony moves into the Gary's flat and makes his first disastrous attempt to woo upstairs-neighbour Deborah; "Rent Boy" in which Gary thinks Tony is gay; "How to Bump Your Girlfriend" in which no sooner has Tony got back together with his old girlfriend and filled her in about Gary ("nice bloke, ears like the FA Cup") than he decides to give her the shove; "Troublesome Twelve Inch" in which Gary tries to sell a rare record belonging to Dorothy without her knowing; "Going Nowhere" in which Tony buys a van to impress Deborah who in turn gets stuck in a lift with Gary; and "People Behaving Irritatingly" in which Tony's brother and missus visit the flat much to Gary's annoyance ("It's not enough that they were at it all last night, now they're trying to set up a national sperm bank in my bath.) --Clark Collis

    There are mixed messages all over Waterloo Road, and you don’t have to read between the lines to find them. Recently installed Head Teacher Karen Fisher has both her her daughters, Bex and Jess, back with her now, along with her son Harry; but Bex comes with some dangerous baggage in the form of a demanding ex-boyfriend, Hodge, who’ll stop at nothing to get her back, including seducing Jess. Meanwhile Grantly has fallen into a rut with his wife in a care home and needs some care himself. Ruby takes him on, but confused signals leads Grantly to feel that there may be more to her intentions. Francesca Montoya, the Spanish Teacher, finds herself heavily in demand from an eager Tom Clarkson, but she’s already crossed a very dangerous barrier and started an affair with a pupil that could send her to prison if they aren’t very careful. While Karen Fisher struggles to maintain the separation of boys and girls into different teaching groups, she must juggle the politics of a new head of pastoral care, student homosexuality, angry parents and children who are mother’s themselves. And when someone close to her hacks into her e-mail to send aggressive messages to her fellow teachers, it could lead to her downfall. In one of the tensest, most exciting terms at Waterloo Road yet seen, these mixed messages and more lead to dangerous, illegal and possibly even deadly conclusions.

  • On The Line [2001]On The Line | DVD | (03/02/2003) from £6.95   |  Saving you £8.04 (115.68%)   |  RRP £14.99

    Pop stars and movies don't normally make the best combinations; despite featuring three musicians trying their hands at the acting game On the Line is a delightful movie. The biggest draw will undoubtedly be Lance Bass and Joey Fatone of US boy band N*SYNC and while many critics may be ready with their pot shots the pair not only bring a surprisingly deft acting ability to the screen but a chemistry clearly borne of years together in a band. The film bravely refuses to play the predictable teen comedy card, opting instead for a more mature tale of romance. On the Line succeeds not only thanks to the performances but because its theme of lost opportunities is a universal one. Certainly not a film without its faults (Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora's cameo is simply dreadful), On the Line has the courage of its convictions and at least tries to do something other than the expected. The result is an enjoyable effort and one that suggests Bass and Fatone may well have a prosperous future ahead of them when that Justin Timberlake fellow inevitably dumps them to go solo. On the DVD: On the Line is certainly a diverting if not startling DVD package. The commentary from director Eric Bross and the excellent Emmanuelle Chriqui is lively and informative. There is a selection of deleted and alternative scenes as well as outtakes. The HBO special is fine, if essentially one long advert for the movie. Unsurprisingly, the film enjoys a high-profile soundtrack (unwisely including the odd N*SYNC tune, rather blurring the edges of credibility) and the audio quality is suitably superb. --Phil Udell

  • Black Pond [DVD]Black Pond | DVD | (16/04/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

Combining the quietly surreal with the beautifully mundane, this award-winning comedy tells the hilarious and heart breaking story of how The Thompsons became known as the 'Family of Killers'.Black Pond was nominated for Outstanding Debut at BAFTA.

  • Inspector Morse - Disc 23 And 24 - The Death Of The Self / Absolute Conviction [1987]Inspector Morse - Disc 23 And 24 - The Death Of The Self / Absolute Conviction | DVD | (12/08/2002) from £5.38   |  Saving you £9.61 (178.62%)   |  RRP £14.99

    When Inspector Morse first appeared on television in 1987, nobody could have predicted that it would run into the next century, maintaining throughout a quality of scripts and story lines that raised the genre of the detective series to a new level. Much of its success can be attributed to John Thaw's total immersion in the role. Morse is a prickly character and not obviously easy to like. As a detective in Oxford with unfulfilled academic propensities, he is permanently excluded from a world of which he would dearly love to be a part. He is at odds with that world--and with his colleagues in the police force--most of the time. Passionate about opera and "proper beer", he is a cultural snob for whom vulgarity causes almost physical pain. As a result, he lives from one disillusionment to another. And he is scarred--more deeply than he would ever admit--by past relationships. But he also has a naïve streak and, deep-down sensitivity, which makes him a fascinating challenge for women. At the heart of Morse's professional life is his awkward partnership with Detective Sergeant Lewis, the resolutely ordinary, worldly sidekick who manages to keep his boss in an almost permanent state of exasperation while retaining his grudging respect. It's a testament to Kevin Whateley's consistently excellent performance that from such unpromising material, Lewis becomes as indispensable to the series as Barrington Pheloung's hypnotic, classic theme music. Morse's investigations do occasionally take him abroad to more exotic locations, but throughout 14 successful years of often gruesome murders, the city of Oxford itself became a central character in these brooding two-hour dramas: creator Colin Dexter stating he finally had to kill Morse off because he was giving Oxford a bad reputation as a dangerous place! --Piers Ford

New teachers include the straitlaced Audrey McFall, and Christine Mulgrew, a semifunctioning alcoholic who wreaks havoc in the lives of all around her. New pupils include Christine's son and primary buffer Conor, who is constantly saved from veering off-track by new girl Imogen. However, even she is fated to fall victim to the dysfunctional Mulgrew mother/son relationship. With Head Teacher Michael having to face the ghosts of his past, young Scout suffering relentless bullying from new girl Rhiannon, and Tariq facing an uncertain future both physically and emotionally, a new look Waterloo Road gets off to a fiery start, building to a fiery and explosive finish.
