    World in Action was, undoubtedly, ITV's flagship current-affairs series. Over four decades this multiple BAFTA winner was fearless, trailblazing and hard-hitting in its coverage of subjects that other programmes would not dare to touch - earning the ire of ITV regulators and, at times, the Government, with the team often investigating stories at their own personal risk. This volume comprises 23 programmes covering major stories from the '60s to the '90s; these include the 1967 Arab-Is...

    Endurance tells the incredible story of the legendary Haile Gebrselassie, described by Runners World magazine as the 'greatest distance runner of all time' and holder of 27 world records througout his career, from 5000 metres to the Marathon. Beginning with his early life in Ethiopia where he ran the 20 kilometres to and from school barefoot with his books under his arm, the film follows his determined pursuit of Olympic glory and a 10,000 metre final at the Atlanta games of 1996 that would become recognised as one of the greatest races in athletics history.

  • Tony Bennett - Tony Bennett's New York [1996]Tony Bennett - Tony Bennett's New York | DVD | (06/12/1999) from £8.98   |  Saving you £-2.99 (-49.90%)   |  RRP £5.99

    Tony Bennett's heart may be in San Francisco and his act in Atlantic City (at least for the purposes of this programme), but the singer, the son of an Italian immigrant grocer born in Astoria, Queens, is a New Yorker through and through, a point this documentary-cum-performance DVD makes abundantly clear. With writer-co-producer Reggie Nadelson providing narration (she's not exactly James Earl Jones, to put it charitably, but she clearly knows and loves her subject) and such quintessential New Yorkers as writer Jimmy Breslin and ex-governor Mario Cuomo offering insight, the highlights and lowlights of Bennett's life and career are all covered: the influence of Louis Armstrong, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and others; his early days as a heart-throb pop crooner through his 1960s civil-rights activism, 70s career doldrums and 80s renaissance as the urbane and elegant epitome of cool, thanks to MTV; his sideline as a painter of considerable merit; and more. There's plenty of music too, with Bennett leading his crack trio through what he calls "the best folk songs in the world", including standards such as "A Foggy Day", "I Got Rhythm", and "I Wanna Be Around"--and, natch, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", preceded here by a medley of endearingly awful karaoke performances of the signature Bennett tune. All right, so Tony Bennett may not be a giant on the order of Sinatra, Crosby, or Armstrong. But he's still here, both an embodiment of a bygone era and a still-vital performer of depthless class and style.--Sam Graham, Amazon.com
