• Malcolm | DVD | (25/06/2012) from £21.58   |  Saving you £-5.59 (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Malcolm could easily come across as a lonely and reclusive misfit. People who would choose to judge him, could mistake him for some kind of an idiot, but let's have it right, Malcolm is actually a master of all things technical and quite the professor when it comes to engineering and gadgets. Living alone in inner Melbourne after the death of his mother, he loses his dream job after he takes a joy ride in his own mini tram (worthy of anything Q could create for Mr. Bond).To help with the cash situation, Malcolm advertises for a lodger. Fresh from a stay at Her Majesty's big house arrives Frank, swiftly followed by his girlfriend Judith. When Frank decides it is time to go robbing and stealing, he can think of no better designer for a getaway car than Malcolm.The winner of 8 AFI (Australian Film Institute) including Best Film , this new release is crammed with a bunch of extras including behind the scenes footage, Malcolm is an utter delight that inFilm Australia called an endearing suburban adventure.

• Bird On A Wire | DVD | (08/03/2004) from £9.59   |  Saving you £0.40 (4.17%)   |  RRP £9.99

  This action-comedy from 1990 makes the critical mistake of trying to mix a potentially suspenseful plot with the kind of humour that Mel Gibson can only get away with in his Lethal Weapon movies. It doesn't work here because the movie's supposed to be a Hitchcockian thriller and Mel's wisecracking--not to mention some implausible plot twists and ridiculous chase scenes--makes it impossible to take any of this movie seriously. It works best as a lightweight vehicle for Gibson and Goldie Hawn, who bring their own established appeal to their roles as old lovers who are reunited under unexpectedly dangerous circumstances. After testifying against some drug-running killers, Mel's been safe under the protection of the FBI's witness relocation program, and Goldie coincidentally enters his life again just as the bad guys are hot on Mel's trail. They join up and go on the run from the villains and ... well, let's just say director John Badham doesn't have any big surprises up his sleeve. Goldie and Mel are enjoyable, as always, but you'd have to be their biggest fan to watch this movie more than once. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

  In his final TV role, Arthur Lowe (Dad's Army, Pardon the Expression) plays a popular but old-fashioned mathematics master attempting and largely failing to keep order among the unruly boys of Form IIIA at Burgrove Preparatory School, in the fictional rural town of Wilminister.

Ellis which first appeared in diary form in Punch and later in The New Yorker, before being published in book form; the character of the beleaguered schoolmaster, played to perfection by Lowe, was inspired by Ellis's own experiences as a teacher.The mild-mannered, accident-prone Mr. Wentworth shows an unceasing dedication to the school and its reputation.

Saunders (Harry Andrews), better known as 'Squid' by the pupils, and the formidable, frequently combative Matron (Marion Mathie Lucia)...

• Simon Schama - A History of Britain : The Complete Series | DVD | (18/11/2002) from £59.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £59.99

  Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles. What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalising key historical events by examining the major characters at the centre of them. Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result. Schama successfully gives lie to the idea that the history of Britain has been moderate and temperate, passing down the generations as stately as a galleon, taking on board sensible ideas but steering clear of sillier, revolutionary ones. Nonsense. Schama retells British history the way it was--as bloody, convulsive, precarious, hot-blooded and several times within an inch of haring off onto an entirely different course. Schama seems almost to delight in the goriness of history. Themes returned to repeatedly include the wars between the Scots and the Irish and the Catholic/Protestant conflicts--only the Irish question remains unresolved by the new millennium. As Britain becomes a constitutional monarchy, Schama talks less of Kings and Queens but of poets and idea-makers like Orwell. Still, with his pungent, direct manner and against an evocative visual and aural backdrop, Schama makes history seem as though it happened yesterday, the bloodstains not yet dry. On the DVD: The Complete History of Britain extras are generously packaged on a separate disc and include the original score and a Simon Schama biography. There's an interesting "promotional message" to camera in which Schama explains the role of a cab driver, Wally, in inspiring the series, along with an interview with Mark Lawson in which Schama stresses the deliberate subjectivity of these programmes and an inaugural BBC History lecture in which he defends TV's ability to transpose history to camera. --David Stubbs

When the detectives are done, he moves in, armed with his bleach and scrubbing brushes.

But because he's a chatty man, he tends to gossip rather more than he cleans. Sharing some of its DNA with Inside No.9 and Jonathan Creek, this crime comedy is based on the multi-award-winning German cult hit Der Tatortreiniger.
