    A stuntman has been murdered. A supermodel has been painted to death. A shipment of cocaine has turned up inside a batch of Colombian cod.

The ‘Oblivion Boys’ Mark Arden and Stephen Frost (The Young Ones) star as the unconventional murder detectives Steve Lazarus and Mark Dingwall. Together, the troublesome duo solve crimes with their microwave-meal-loving, part-time cinema attendant Police Chief (Peter Bland), the lovely Beverley (Race Davies), and the incredibly boring plain clothes detectives and resident git Gary (Jeremy Gittins). Other crimes include a bizarre art installation involving a corpse, the mysterious death of a newspaper astrology expert and a spate of murders that seem to be imitating Cluedo scenarios… Directed by BAFTA winner Bob Spiers (Absolutely Fabulous, French and Saunders, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Fawlty Towers) and Co-written by Victoria Pile (The Green Wing, Spitting Image).

  • In the Red [DVD]In the Red | DVD | (07/09/2015) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

    A biting comedy thriller that parodies every pillar of the British establishment from politics and the police to the Bank of England and the dear old BBC. In the Red is set in Spring 1998, a year into a New Labour Government, with the country feeling that nothing has, in fact, got better at all. When a serial killer targets a number of bank managers and financiers, the nation responds with a curious mixture of mild outrage and quiet admiration. George Cragge, a raddled BBC Radio crime reporter with a fondness for drink and a healthy contempt for BBC management, joins the murder hunt after he begins to receive mysterious telephone calls from the killer. Leading the murder hunt is his old ally, DCI Jefferson. An immaculately constructed whodunnit, and an irreverent, yet affectionate romp through the corridors of British power. Malcolm Bradbury (The History Man) adapted Mark Tavener's bestselling novel for the BBC. The acclaimed features an all-star cast including Warren Clarke, Alun Armstrong, Siobhan Redmond, Rik Mayall, Keith Barron, John Bird, Stephen Fry and Richard Griffiths. ˜Wonderfully funny and highly topical' Telegraph ˜A laugh-aloud satire' Sunday

  • 15 Storeys High - Series 1 (6 episodes) [2002]15 Storeys High - Series 1 (6 episodes) | DVD | (20/10/2003) from £9.73   |  Saving you £13.25 (196.59%)   |  RRP £19.99

    Focused on the madcap lives of flatmates Vince (Sean Lock) and Errol (Benedict Wong), the first series of the critically acclaimed BBC comedy Fifteen Stories High craftily points out the eccentricities of the modern world. Vince is an oddball with the habits of a man who has spent too much time in his own company. A lifeguard at the local swimming pool, he takes great pride in being able to tell swimmers off for no reason, and obtains his home decorating ideas from photos in Readers' Wives. His lodger, Errol is the opposite of Vince, naively stupid and always taken advantage of by others. But he has his own unusual habits, too, such as tearing at wallpaper whenever he sees an unstuck corner. Vince has the weirdest encounters, though: such as being locked in the stocks for six hours when wrongly accused of killing a swan; or taken hostage by a neighbour when he spies a moon-boot wearing Shetland pony in the man's spare bedroom. Equally as funny are the short stories of the other residents living in the tower block that are interspersed between the antics of Vince and Errol. Enclosed within the four walls of different flats on the estate, these claustrophobic locations provide the ideal settings for the extreme behaviours depicted. There's the hygiene obsessive who forces a visiting double-glazing salesman to take a bath and wear a protective suit before being able to look round his flat; the old man who spends all night in front of a mirror in a pair of underpants pretending he's James Bond; and a New Age enthusiast who's always getting disturbed when recording relaxation tapes. The general weirdness of the series takes some getting used to, but once you decipher the crazy world of Vince and Errol this is five-star comedy with a dark tinge. --John Galilee
