Jonathan Davies presents the fully updated official history of Welsh rugby (now including the 2008 grand slam and autumn international victory against Australia!) As every Welshman knows the life-blood of the country is in fact the red of the national team and the spirit of the nation ebbs and flows with the success and failure of their heroes. The Official History of Welsh Rugby presented and narrated by Jonathan Davies is interspersed with interviews from Dai Smith Vivien Jenkins Clive Rowlands Robert Jones Phil Bennett and Shane Williams and traces the ups and downs of the Dragons from the foundation of the Welsh Rugby Union in 1881. The programme features highlights of Wales' epic 13-12 victory over the All Blacks in 1935 and Cardiff's even more amazing triumph in 1953 which ended with the captain Bleddyn Williams being carried off the pitch on the supporters' shoulders. We also look at the most memorable moments in Wales' Five and Six Nations history including incredible one-off achievements such as the 9-8 defeat of France to clinch the 1966 Championship and the glorious 32-31 victory over England at Wembley in 1999. But of course it is the Grand Slam teams that are given the priority and particularly the Welsh teams of the seventies. The Grand Slam theme continues in the New Millennium with sensational performances in 2005 culminating in that unforgettable win against Ireland and in 2008 when under the guidance of Warren Gatland Wales swept all before them marking a return to the glory days of the 70s. A programme to be watched again and again.

However his father has developed a marvellous method of transferring special brain patterns into his son's mind that allows Joe to acquire incredible skills.

Another stunning Supermarionation series from the Gerry Anderson team that brought you 'Thunderbirds' 'Captain Scarlet' and 'Stingray'.
Joe 90 was Gerry Anderson's penultimate puppet show of the 1960s, following Captain Scarlet (1968) and preceding the little-known The Secret Service (1969). In 2112 professor Ian McClaine has invented the BIG RAT (Brain Impulse Galvanoscope, Record and Transfer), a machine for copying knowledge and experiences from person to person. WIN (World Intelligence Organisation) uses this to prime their top undercover agent before sending him into the field on missions which range from foiling international terrorists to recovering a nuclear weapon from beneath the polar ice. So far so good, but in perhaps the most mind-boggling concept ever to reach children's TV, that agent is McClaine's nine-year-old adopted son, Joe. Somehow even as it stays true to the Gerry Anderson techno-fantasy formula of secret organisations, gadgetry, and action-packed adventure full of spectacular explosions and violent death, Joe 90 remains blithely unconscious of its own implications. The missions are as globe-trotting as anything in Anderson's classic Thunderbirds series, and sometimes Joe does save lives, performing a risky brain operation or rescuing trapped astronauts. Yet even then his criminally irresponsible father brainwashes the lad each episode before placing him in a highly dangerous adult situation. Though the production values remain way ahead of anything else being done on British TV at the time, the question remains how did this ever seem like a good idea? On the DVD: Joe 90, Volume 2 contains the second set of six 25-minute episodes presented, as usual with Gerry Anderson DVDs, behind a lovingly crafted menu. As expected the 4:3 picture quality is superb and the mono sound is full, detailed and without a trace of distortion. There are also several pages of character biography and background information on the show, a photo gallery and a variety of other extras. --Gary S Dalkin
