  In 1970 the Goodies unleashed their legendary blend of surreal storylines strikingly topical satire slapstick and general lunacy on an unsuspecting viewing public. Capturing the irreverent and rebellious flavour of the decade this phenomenally popular award-winning series spread its mischief over twelve years nine series and numerous specials making household names of creators writers and performers Bill Oddie Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor. This volume comprises eight of the best episodes. From a run-in with some dubious Boy Scouts to a bid to take over the British film industry from a loony plan to set up a pirate post office to going punk this is television comedy at its undeniable best. This set includes an in-depth booklet by archive television historian Andrew Pixley.

• China Moon | DVD | (23/06/2003) from £4.99   |  Saving you £8.00 (61.60%)   |  RRP £12.99

  China Moon (1991) is a pleasing entertainment that assembles the dependable elements of film noir in the tradition of Body Heat (1981), The Last Seduction (1994) and, of course, the mother of all such films, Double Indemnity (1944). There's a femme fatale (the beautiful and talented Madeleine Stowe) and an honest cop (reliable Ed Harris) who soon becomes smitten. Her husband (Charles Dance) is a brute who beats her, so she murders him and inveigles Harris into helping her dispose of the body. That's when the complications begin, and Harris starts to sweat when his fellow cop keeps asking awkward questions. The acting is uniformly good, with Harris' partner played by Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) offering an excellent performance. Harris and Stowe strike sparks off each other, to the point where you almost believe he is being sucked into her schemes. On the DVD: The disc contains a theatrical trailer and several TV ads, with scroll-down filmographies of the major talents involved which are incomplete for some unknown reason. There's a brief and unenlightening five-minute documentary, with the principal cast plus the director, John Bailey, commenting on the film. Both image and sound are excellent quality, sound in Dolby Digital, picture in anamorphic widescreen ratio of 2.35:1 --Ed Buscombe

• Four Rooms | DVD | (24/06/2002) from £6.73   |  Saving you £8.26 (122.73%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Four Rooms is an unbearable quartet of stories written and directed by hot filmmakers Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction), Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi), Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging), and Alexandre Rockwell (In the Soup), which only proves that even the smart guys can really blow it sometimes. The anthology is linked by the hotel in which all the events are taking place, and by Tim Roth as a bellboy flitting from scene to scene. Nobody overcomes the insufferable air of self-congratulation that permeates this exercise in forced hipness. Others involved include Bruce Willis, Madonna, Lili Taylor, Ione Skye, Jennifer Beals, and Antonio Banderas.--Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

• Jacob's Ladder | DVD | (17/03/2003) from £15.02   |  Saving you £0.97 (6.46%)   |  RRP £15.99

  In Jacob's Ladder, Vietnam veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) thinks he is going insane. Or worse. When his nightmares begin spilling into his waking hours, Jacob believes he is experiencing the after-effects of a powerful drug tested on him during Vietnam. Or perhaps his post-traumatic stress disorder is worse than most. Whatever is happening to him, it's not good. Director Adrian Lyne sparks our interest and maintains high production values, but this confusing film chokes on its "surprise" ending. It owes much to Ambrose Bierce's haunting and more straightforward short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek. Written by Bruce Joel Rubin, who also explored the "other side" in Ghost and My Life, Jacob's Ladder ultimately feels like an exercise in self-indulgence. A spirited performance by Elizabeth Peña outshines Robbins, who is surprisingly lethargic. --Rochelle O'Gorman

• A Very Brady Sequel | DVD | (07/07/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This second ironic send-up of the old 70s American sitcom is even funnier than the first, The Brady Bunch Movie. Shelley Long and Gary Cole return as the married heads of the merged family known as the Bradys, while Christopher Daniel Barnes and Christine Taylor reprise their roles as eldest stepsiblings Greg and Marcia. As with the first film, the clever premise finds the Brady clan caught in a kind of 1970s time warp, while the rest of the world has moved well into the 90s. Greg is still looking for a "groovy girlfriend", Mr. Brady thinks the idea of a cable that sends 50 channels to one's TV set must be a joke, and Mrs. Brady spends hours at the beauty shop only to look exactly the same as she went in. There's a plot involving an imposter (Tim Matheson) who claims to be Carol's long-lost husband, but the real charge in this comedy comes from the way these pseudo-hip characters deal with sexual taboos (is there any real reason that Greg and Marcia shouldn't get it on?) and the incredulous reactions of other people. --Tom Keogh

• Hello Cheeky | DVD | (19/07/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Hello Cheeky fearlessly brought Radio Two's long-running 1970s comedy show to television featuring the legendary talents of Goodies star Tim Brooke-Taylor fellow I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue stalwart and comedy writer Barry Cryer and writer and actor John Junkin; composer Denis King provided musical accompaniment (and frequently became the object of ridicule for the other three). The half-hour shows were pre-recorded in front of a live audience and replicated the original series' trademark mix of preposterous sketches appalling jokes raillery and general silliness. Improvisation abounded with the occasional blunder retained in an irreverent approach summed up by Cryer as 'Laugh-In without the gloss only desperation and rot'. A typical show might feature advice on looking after an armadillo teaching your dog to samba or making your very own space rocket from a yard of lint an operation on a false moustache or even a gala dinner with the officers and crew of the Nancie Celeste... This first-time release on DVD contains all 12 existing episodes from 1976. Unfortunately episode 10 no longer exists in the archive. Parts of Tim John and Barry appear by permission of the Official Receiver. Other parts are played by people with the exception of Denis King who appears by arrangement with the Natural History Museum.
