• The Twilight Zone - Vol. 12 | DVD | (04/12/2000) 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

• Red Dwarf Series 1 | DVD | (07/03/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £4.99

  Notoriously, and entirely appropriately, the original outline for Doug Naylor and Rob Grant's comedy SF series Red Dwarf was sketched on the back of a beer mat. When it finally appeared on our television screens in 1988 the show had clearly stayed true to its roots, mixing jokes about excessive curry consumption with affectionate parodies of classic SF. Indeed, one of the show's most endearing and enduring features is its obvious respect for the conventions of SF, even as it gleefully subverts them. The scenario owes something to Douglas Adams's satirical Hitch-Hiker's Guide, something to The Odd Couple and a lot more to the slacker SF of John Carpenter's Dark Star. Behind the crew's constant bickering there lurks an impending sense that life, the universe and everything are all someone's idea of a terrible joke. Later series broadened the show's horizons until at last its premise was so diluted as to be unrecognisable, but in the six episodes of the first series the comedy is witty and intimate, focusing on characters and not special effects. Slob Dave Lister (Craig Charles) is the last human alive after a radiation leak wipes out the crew of the vast mining vessel Red Dwarf (episode 1, "The End"). He bums around the spaceship with the perpetually uptight and annoyed hologram of his dead bunkmate, Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie, the show's greatest comedy asset) and a creature evolved from a cat (dapper Danny John Jules). They are guided rather haphazardly by Holly, the worryingly thick ship's computer (lugubrious Norman Lovett). On the DVD: Red Dwarf I arrives in a two-disc set, with all six episodes on the first disc accompanied by an excellent group commentary from Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John Jules and Norman Lovett. (There's also a bonus commentary on "The End" with the two writers and director Ed Bye.) The 4:3 picture is unimpressive, but sound is decent stereo. The second disc has an entertaining 25-minute documentary on the genesis of the series with contributions from the cast, writer Doug Naylor and producer Paul Jackson. Navigate the animated menus to find a gallery of extra features, including isolated music cues, deleted scenes, outtakes ("Smeg Ups"), a fun "Drunk" music montage, model effects shots, Web links, audiobook clips, the original BBC trailer and even the entire first episode in Japanese. --Mark Walker

• The Guitar Artistry Of David Bromberg | DVD | (23/03/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  The extraordinary folk-blues guitarist David Bromberg has strolled back into the spotlight as abruptly as he resigned from it nearly three decades ago when he dissolved his fantastic and popular touring band in 1980 to study violin making... The fluid orchestral invention of Bromberg's fingerpicking - his original calling card on pivotal late-1960S and 1970S sessions for Jerry Jeff Walker ('Mr. Bojangles') and Bob Dylan (New Morning) - is in undiminished bloom invigorating sturdy old blues and ballads. - Rolling Stone In this intimate portrait the legendary David Bromberg talks about his influences and performs the music he loves - a wide panorama of American blues folk country bluegrass ragtime jazz and contemporary sounds. Inspired by the music of Pete Seeger and the Weavers among others he began studying the guitar at age 13. After graduating from Tarrytown High School he enrolled at Columbia University intent on a career as a musicologist. During this period he discovered the old recordings of Blind Blake Lonnie Johnson Big Bill Broonzy Marshall Owens Luke Jordan and other great country bluesmen as well as contemporary recordings of B.B.King Freddie King and Albert King. He studied with Rev. Gary Davis for several years and as Rev. Davis said I have no children but I have several sons. David was a son to the great Reverend. Drawn to Greenwich Village's flourishing coffeehouse folk music scene of the mid-1960's David left Columbia University and opted to devote full time to his music. Shortly thereafter his extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many other musicians: Bob Dylan Ringo Starr George Harrison Tom Paxton and Chubby Checker are only a few of the notables who sought David out as a back-up artist for recording. In all he has played as a sideman on over 100 albums. Titles include: 1. Demon In Disguise 2. Delia 3. Mule Riding Blues 4. Maple Leaf Rag 5. Just A Closer Walk With Thee 6. Chump Man Blues 7.
