Too mainstream to be a cult, yet too odd to be totally conventional, Ally McBeal has become one of televisions curios. While its early days saw the show become something of a victim of its own self-conscious stylising, the episodes included on series 4 volume 2 are far stronger in terms of characterisation and plot and the storylines are easy to pick up. Not that the quirks have been exiled--the first programme features McBeal hallucinating about Barry Manilow--rather they have now become part of the overall feel of the show. Despite the attention lavished on both the lead character and the actress who plays her, the show is a real ensemble piece and works best when all the players are together. One of the collection's weakest moments is the episode that sends the usually excellent Richard and John off to LA on their own, an episode which lays threat to a dreaded spin off. While there are annoying moments--could they not have edited out the "previously on Ally McBeal" parts for retail release and why do they never go out with anyone other than work colleagues--with guest appearances from the likes of Sting this is a must for any fan of the series. On the DVD: Sadly, the DVD collection betrays very little thought or effort. The pace of the show is certainly brisk (especially when shorn of the adverts) and the picture quality is equally dynamic, instilling real depth to the many aerial shots of Boston itself. Given that music is such an integral part in the show, it is no surprise that the soundtrack has been given a boost by its recreation in Dolby digital stereo. The interactive menu, however, is clumsy to use and having to work back through the options at the end of each episode quickly becomes tiresome. The complete lack of any extras whatsoever is also a definite minus point.--Phil Udell

Disc 1: Pilates for Back and Posture Pilates has been used for years by exercise professionals, physiotherapists and dancers to increase strength and improve back and posture. This programme demonstrates how you too can improve your overall wellbeing by having good posture which protects your back from injury whether it is through sport or just day to day activities. Just a few minutes of these specially designed exercises every day can help back problems and make you look longer and leaner. This programme has several split level workouts to enable you to start and progress through degrees of difficulty at your own pace. This programme will streamline your body so you not only look great but feel great too! Disc 2: Ten Minute Method Workouts for Back Pain and Posture Joey Bull's superb new workout DVD the 4 x UK Fitness Champion and international trainer concentrates on a vital but often ignored body part - the back. Joey's series of 10 minute workouts for Back Pain and Posture caters for straight, curvy or rounded back types and includes a special section for those who spend much of their time sitting at a desk or at the wheel of a vehicle. With Joey's guidance you will be able to regularly and gently exercise your back and benefit from a stronger and healthier body. 'Our back is critical to personal mobility and wellbeing yet many people suffer discomfort or serious debilitating pain. My series of carefully devised ten minute workouts will help you train, refine and strengthen your back, improve posture and protect it against injury'. Disc 3: Gymball for Back Pain and Posture Bad posture is a bad habit that tends to come about through today's sedentary lifestyle. Days spent driving or slumped over a computer wreak havoc with our alignment and an increasing number of adults will suffer in their later years with back or neck pain due to these postural habits. This programme will look at ways of improving posture, strengthening essential postural and core muscles as well as mobilising the joints. We are going to counteract the amount of time spent leaning forwards, reducing the amount of stress placed on the spine and supporting joints and ligaments. We will also examine specific postural types offering exercises from throughout the programme particularly beneficial for each. The Ball is a fantastic tool for us to use to improve posture and strengthen those deep core muscles. Due to its unstable surface it is very difficult to slouch on as you would simply fall off! Everything we do on the ball works the small stabiliser muscles and due to its round nature, it allows us a much greater range of movement than if we were to perform the same exercise on the floor. Improving posture is not only to avoid back and neck pain. It can make you look slimmer, more attractive and it is a real reflection to the outside world of how we see ourselves. It improves breathing, circulation which can result in less cellulite as well as better overall functioning of the body. Ultimately though, having better posture, strength and mobility will not only reduce your risks of back or neck pain later in life, but will give you a renewed confidence and poise.

With so many promises to fulfil and questions left unanswered, the ninth and final series of The X-Files was inevitably going to short-change some of its audience. Mulder is missing, Scully is in and out with various baby concerns, Reyes frequently seems like she's only along for the ride and Doggett seems so right in the role that some fans wondered if he should have appeared sooner. Other cult cameos flitted across the screen in an attempt to keep viewers transfixed. Lucy Lawless, Cary Elwes and Robert Patrick's real-life wife were interesting diversions, but when Burt Reynolds appeared to be none other than God himself, it was apparent that nothing at all was sacred in this last year. Standalone episodes (for example, on Satanic possession and a Brady Bunch psycho) proved to be amongst the least interesting of the show's efforts. No doubt because everyone was focussing on the all-important arc story episodes. Was there more than one alien faction? Were they all in collusion? Who had control of the black oil virus? Who had been in charge of the abductions? More importantly, would Mulder and Scully finally get in bed together? Scattered through the 19 episodes (the fewest of any season), were answers to some of these points. Then as much as possible that remained was packed into the two-hour finale. After 200 episodes, it's just possible that The X-Files overstayed its welcome; nonetheless it will always be remembered for being the most influential TV product of the 1990s. And since this is science-fiction, don't assume it's completely dead either. --Paul Tonks
Titles Comprise: Shaun Of The Dead: Shaun (Simon Pegg) is not quite your average twentysomething. Lacking any real ambition and drifting along in a job that he hates he drives his long-suffering girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) up the wall. Despite being a very decent chap Shaun suddenly gets a very rude wake up call when the undead begin roaming the earth (or London's Crouch End at least) and with the help of his slacker chum Ed (Nick Frost) he must save Liz and his dear mum from becoming zombies! Well that's if he can get out of the local pub... Hot Fuzz: Messers Pegg and Frost return with this rollickingly hilarious take on the cop action movie. Top London cop Constable Nicholas Angel (Pegg) finds himself reassigned to the sleepy West Country village of Sandford.

The Magicians: Lifelong friends Harry and Karl (David Mitchell and Robert Webb) are the greatest magic double act in the country.

Can new tricks and a new assistant help Harry to triumph over his underhanded opponents and his disastrous past?
It's no disparagement to describe Simon Pegg and Edgar Wrights zombie-rom-com Shaun of the Dead as playing like an extended episode of Spaced. Not only does the movie have the rather modest scope of a TV production, it also boasts the snappy editing, smart camera moves, and deliciously post-modern dialogue familiar from the sitcom, as well as using many of the same cast: Peggs Shaun and Nick Frosts Ed are doppelgangers of their Spaced characters, while Jessica Stevenson and Peter Serafinowicz appear in smaller roles. Unlike the TV series, its less important for the audience to be in on the movie in-jokes, though it wont hurt if you know George Romeros famous Dawn of the Dead trilogy, which is liberally plundered for zombie behaviour and mythology. Shaun is a loser, stuck in a dead-end job and held back by his slacker pal Ed. Girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) is exasperated by his lack of ambition and unceremoniously dumps him. As a result, Shaun misses out on what is apparently the end of the world. In a series of beautifully choreographed and edited scenes, including hilarious tracking shots to and from the local shop, he spectacularly fails to notice the death toll and subsequent zombie plague. Only when one appears in their back garden do Shaun and Ed take notice, hurling sundry kitchen appliances at the undead before breaking out the cricket bat. The catastrophe proves to be the catalyst for Shaun to take charge of his life, sort out his relations with his dotty mum (Penelope Wilton) and distant stepdad (Bill Nighy), and fight to win back his ex-girlfriend. Lucy Davis from The Office and Dylan Moran of Black Books fame head the excellent supporting cast. --Mark Walker
