• Planet of Snail | DVD | (27/05/2013) from £5.79   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Young-Chan has been deaf and blind since childhood. As he puts it himself, “In the beginning there was darkness and silence, and the darkness and silence were with god. And when ‘I’ arrived, they came to me.” Young-Chan has no idea how to participate in the world until he meets Soon-Ho, who also has a physical handicap. He marries her and learns to communicate with the outside world through her. By softly tapping each other’s finger, they can understand one another; it is sometimes as if they are tenderly playing a piano. This documentary follows the couple in the same gentle tempo as Young-Chan moves through his life. We see them replacing a lightbulb together, receiving friends, working on a theatre piece, reading a book, and gliding on a sleigh down a mountain. These everyday scenes are accompanied by a poetic voice-over by Young-Chan, in which he reflects on his existence without sight and hearing. He feels like an astronaut, but that doesn’t mean he is without a sense of beauty in the world. This becomes palpable when Young-Chan touches the bark of a tree, runs his hand through sand, or brushes raindrops on a window pane with his fingertips.

• Glasgows Trams & Trolleybuses | DVD | (28/04/2008) from £9.70   |  Saving you £0.29 (2.90%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Glasgow had one of the largest tramway systems in Britain part of which survived into the 1960s. For decades the sight of the city's colourful trams stately as galleons gently swaying through its streets was as much a part of the heart and soul of Glasgow as was the forest of cranes alongside the Clyde. As motor traffic began to proliferate after the war the trams were seen to be part of the reason for the growing congestion in the city. New electric trolleybuses were introduced to replace them on some routes before both they and the last of the trams were swept away in the 1960s with the final triumph of the motor car. These films made mostly in the 1950s and '60s are packed with memories of that era. They recall the fashions the shop fronts the cars the street-scapes the factories and the suburbs of a city which has changed radically in the years which have followed. Produced for those who know and love Glasgow as much as the transport enthusiast this programme will open the eyes of those who remember the city in those halcyon post war decades.
