• With Or Without You | DVD | (03/12/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  With or Without You works as an above-average television drama; but that's about the height of its ambition. It's strange that Michael Winterbottom, director of the hard-edged, bitter Welcome to Sarajevo (1997) and the grandiose snowy western The Claim (2000) should have bothered with anything as routine and undemanding. Perhaps its greatest distinction is that it's set in present-day Belfast without so much as a mention of the Troubles. The plot is a bog-standard romantic triangle. Rosie and Vincent, who have been married five years or so, want a baby, but nothing's happening. It doesn't help that Rosie's older sister has sprogs burgeoning like mushrooms wherever you look. Then up pops a figure from Rosie's past--Benoît, her pen-pal from before she met Vincent. And being French, he's naturally charming, witty, romantic and everything poor old Vincent isn't. Think you can guess what's coming? Well, most likely you can--right down to the all-too-pat happy ending. Still, the actors (Christopher Ecclestone, Dervla Kirwan and Yvan Attal are the leads) are accomplished and watchable, the dialogue stays the right side of banal and it's refreshing to see Belfast shown as a civilised, cultured place to live. With or Without You passes an hour and a half pleasantly enough and may even raise the odd chuckle, but it covers well-trodden territory without much new to say. On the DVD: aptly routine stuff--the theatrical trailer, a bland "making of" featurette and some interviews with the three principal players. Widescreen (16:9 anamorphic) and Dolby Surround Sound give the material the best possible showcase. --Philip Kemp

• Thunderbirds: Volume 8 | DVD | (19/07/2004) from £21.58   |  Saving you £-5.59 (-35.00%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Filmed in VIDECOLOR--[explosions, drum roll, music builds to a climax]--and SUPERMARIONATION"! The opening sequence of Thunderbirds is itself a masterclass in Gerry Anderson's marionette hyperbole: who else would dare to make a virtue out of the fact that (a)the show is in colour and (b) it's got puppets in it? But everything about this series really is epic: Thunderbirds is action on the grandest scale, pre-dating such high-concept Hollywood vehicles as Armaggedon by 30 years and more (the acting is better, too), and fetishising gadgets in a way that even the most excessive Bond movies could never hope to rival. Unsurprisingly, it transpires that the visual effects are by Derek Meddings, whose later contributions to Bond movies like The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker echo his pioneering model work here. As to the characters, the clean-cut Tracey boys take second place in the audience's affections to their cool machines--the real stars of the show--while comic relief is to be found in the charming company of Lady Penelope and her pink Rolls (number plate FAB1), driven by lugubrious chauffeur Parker, whose "Yes, milady" catchphrase resonated around school playgrounds for decades. (Spare a thought for poor old John Tracey, stuck up in space on Thunderbird 5 with only the radio for company.) The puppet stunt-work is breathtakingly audacious, and every week's death-defying escapade is nail-bitingly choreographed in the very best tradition of disaster movies. First shown in 1964 and now digitally remastered, Thunderbirds is children's TV that still looks and sounds like big-budget Hollywood. On this DVD: The four episodes are: "Alias Mr. Hackenbacker", "Lord Parker's 'Oliday", "Ricochet" and "Give or Take a Million". Amazon.com

• Graham Norton - The Best Of | DVD | (06/09/2004) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Before his talk show So Graham Norton found infamy and acclaim filling the Friday-night saucy viewing slot on Channel 4 (a position formerly occupied by The Word, Eurotrash and the diabolical Denise Van Outen series, Something For the Weekend), Dubliner and one-time stand-up comic Graham Norton was probably best known to UK television audiences as the annoyingly chipper Riverdance-fan, Father Noel, in that episode of Father Ted where they have a caravan holiday. A seeming cross between a leprechaun on amphetamine and John Inman, Norton is a consummate ringmaster for the show's unique combination of audience embarrassment, celebrities, minor and major, game to be mocked with fawning irony (including Roger Moore and a number of ex-Bond girls, the divine Grace Jones, Catherine Deneuve and Mo Mowlam, among many others) and telephone pranks to unsuspecting fetishists abroad. On the DVD: In addition to the usual menus and chapter selection, there's a wry commentary from Norton in which he reveals he didn't like Billy Zane very much and that Mo Mowlam was unsuccessfully bullied by the spin doctors not to do his show. Plus, there's a six-minute interview with his nibs in which he cheerfully describes the show as "trivial fey nonsense" and defines "gay icon" as "someone who hasn't worked for 20 years or has done a really crap job for about 20 years". It concludes with a special message to DVD buyers: "Thank you for buying the DVD, and congratulations on being a little bit rich. I hope it doesn't end up being our generation's version of Betamax or a big audio-visual version of the Sinclair C5". --Leslie Felperin
