• Special Forces: Bruneval Raid - Operation Biting | DVD | (21/06/2012) from £13.39   |  Saving you £3.60 (26.89%)   |  RRP £16.99

  In 1941 Dr RV Jones became convinced that the Germans had developed their own radar system that would account forincreasing RAF bomber casualties. The hunt was on! Eventually an enemy Wrzburg system was located on the cliffs ofNorthern France at Bruneval and seizing it would be the solution to overcoming the enemy radar problem. A joint operationwas planned by HQ Combined Ops that would involve all three Services, including the newly raised and barely parachutequalified C Company, 2nd Parachute Battalion, Commanded by Major John Frost.The planning went well but the rehearsals involving the Royal Navy were all disastrous. As the narrow window of moon andtide approached it was decided 'to bash on'. Nine of the twelve sticks of Paratroopers were dropped by 51 Squadron andthe Germans were caught napping on a winters night. However, they quickly responded and the Paras had a serious fighton their hands to keep the enemy at bay while the experts, who the Paras had orders to kill rather than let fall into enemyhands, dismantled. With the enemy closing in the job was done and the force started to withdraw but elements of Frostsplan were beginning to unravel. It seemed that they may be blocked but with the Paras converging on the beach theysecured their escape on the badly delayed Royal Navy landing craft.In Britain's darkest hour the success of the Bruneval raid was just what Churchill needed and the information gained saved the lives of many air crew.

• Cider With Rosie | DVD | (03/03/2000) from £23.36   |  Saving you £-10.37 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Based on a memoir of English writer Laurie Lee and featuring narration by Lee himself, this made-for-television adaptation begins in wartime 1918 with Lee's family moving to the Gloucestershire countryside. Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) shines as the matriarch of this large blended family, a compassionate and distracted woman who pines for the brood's missing father. The movie takes Lee from a young boy sleeping in his mother's bed through his girl-obsessed adolescence, fondly dealing with an assortment of relatives, schoolmates and villagers along the way. Lee doesn't actually have cider with girlfriend Rosie until a few minutes before the 82-minute movie ends, but in the meantime Charles Beeson, directing from an adaptation by John Mortimer, has offered up a gentle homage to long-passed era. --Kimberly Heinrichs, Amazon.com

• Punk In London | DVD | (31/05/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  With Punk now the stuff of postcards, its good to have Punk in London, a 1977 feature that taps the source of what the scene was all about. German director Wolfgang Büra interviews a number of players and promoters but, apart from concert sequences by The Adverts and The Clash--in gritty form on their ill-fated first European tour--the emphasis is on "almost were" bands. Büras reticent and awkward questioning wont win awards for journalism, but interviewees are prepared to open up to him. Theres political hard-talking from members of Chelsea, a chat with the unassuming bassist of The Lurkers (and parents!), priceless interview footage with Kevin Rowland, then in Birmingham band The Kiljoys; best of all, the laconic roadie of Subway Sect, a true leveller well aware that the whole "Punk thing" will fall victim to commercial pressure like counter-cultures before it. On the DVD: The 1977 film reproduces decently, its faded realism appropriate to the subject, and the sound captures the sweaty environs of Londons club scene with raw immediacy. A pity, though, that sound and vision in the interviews werent better synchronised. There are 21 access points; The Clash sequence is repeated with German subtitles (though markedly inferior picture quality), and an extended adverts sequence with German-only offstage banter. Overall, a quirky package, and a quirky documentary--but with a sincerity and authenticity that no "Best of" could ever hope to capture.--Richard Whitehouse

• Stravinsky - The Rake's Progress | DVD | (31/12/2007) from £4.26   |  Saving you £26.99 (899.67%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Stravinsky's masterwork The Rake's Progress, created for La Fenice in Venice in 1951, is based on a libretto by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman, inspired by a series of 18th-century prints by William Hogarth. This amazing production from La Monnaie - De Munt 'jazzifies' the setting by replacing Hogarth's sin city, London, with 1950s Las Vegas, turning it into a glittering, cinematic gallery of tableaux vivants inspired by the early days of television. Staged by one of the most visionary theatre directors of our age, the Quebecois Robert Lepage, the neo-classical morality tale truly becomes a grand spectacle. Lepage's visual imagination works its magic superbly, while Kazushi Ono's energetic musical direction drives the sparkling ensemble to exhilarating heights. Recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.
