• Poirot - Agatha Christie's Poirot | DVD | (12/05/2003) from £159.95   |  Saving you £40.04 (25.03%)   |  RRP £199.99

  Two words suffice to sum up the enduring and endearing qualities of Agatha Christie's Poirot: David Suchet. Despite all the careful Art Deco trappings, the light, spacious sets and luxurious country locations, despite the excellent supporting cast and atmospheric music score, despite all its admirable qualities this series would be for nothing without Suchet's magnificent grasp on the fussy little Belgian detective. Poirot's obsessive mannerisms, his mania for sartorial detail, his maniacal devotion to personal hygiene (especially when it comes to looking after the moustache) are all rendered exactly by Suchet, clearly as much a perfectionist in this respect as his alter ego in every other. Buoyed by their success with Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes, Granada TV brought a lighter touch to Poirot, which first aired in 1989, and this series is often breezily humorous in contrast to the gloomy Victorian Gothic of its predecessor. The producers took similar care in maintaining the spirit of Christie's original books even when--as with the Holmes adventures--the screenwriters occasionally took pardonable liberties with story and characters. Suchet is ably supported by Hugh Fraser as the Bertie Woosterish Captain Hastings, Philip Jackson as the tenaciously bulldog-like Inspector Japp, and Pauline Moran as Poirot's often exasperated PA, Miss Lemon. --Mark Walker

• The Iron Horse | DVD | (24/06/2002) from £20.00   |  Saving you £-0.01 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Iron Horse was John Ford's 50th film and remains his most celebrated of the silent era. Its theme of enterprise and achievement its open-air locations and setting in a vigorous and pioneering past proved just the subject to stimulate the young director's talent. The sheer scale of the film surpassed all other Westerns of the silent era and established Ford as one of the leading directors in the industry. The film combines a conventional tale of double-dealing vengeance and romance with a poetic sense of history and an epic theme - uniting a nation by building a transcontinental railroad and a great man's dream realised by the courage skill and labour of ordinary folk. This restored version features a new score composed and conducted by John Lanchbery performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic.

• George Foreman - The Early Years | DVD | (04/04/2005) from £6.99   |  Saving you £8.00 (114.45%)   |  RRP £14.99

  When the teenaged George Foreman won the Olympic heavyweight gold medal in Mexico City in 1968 it was obvious the United States had a potential world champion to follow in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. When Foreman stood on the rostrum in Mexico Ali was in exile and Frazier was just beginning his championship reign. It would be another four and a half years before Foreman would end Frazier's reign in Kingston Jamaica but on the way up he provided ample evidence that his power-punching made him one of the most dangerous heavyweights in the world. The mid-1960s served up some great talents - Jose Torres a silver medallist at light-middleweight back in the Melbourne Olympics had matured into a full light-heavyweight by the time he challenged the boxing master Willie Pastrano in 1965. The same year the sporting world was getting used to the dynamic controversial nature of Muhammad Ali's reign as heavyweight champion - and at middleweight Nino Benvenuti the Italian with the film star looks had a classic three-fight series with Emile Griffith.

• The Twilight Zone - Vol. 5 | DVD | (31/07/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  In 1959 screenwriter Rod Serling first opened the door to the "dimension of imagination" that is The Twilight Zone, a show quite unlike anything that had gone before, and better than much that has followed in its wake. This original and daring television series ran for a magnificent five seasons from 1959 to 1964 and still looks as fresh as ever, particularly on DVD. What distinguished the series (and still does) is the quality of the scripts, many of which were penned by Serling, but with significant contributions from veteran sci-fi authors and screenwriters such as Richard Matheson. Actors of the calibre of Robert Redford, Burgess Meredith, Lee Marvin and William Shatner gave some of their best small-screen performances, while an unforgettable main title theme by Bernard Herrmann and musical contributions from young turks such as Jerry Goldsmith underlined the show's attraction for great creative talent both behind and in front of the cameras. On the DVD: A neat animated menu with a winking eye guides the viewer "Inside the Twilight Zone", which consists of digests of background information on the individual episodes, as well as a general history of the show, a season-by-season breakdown and a potted biography of Serling. --Mark Walker
