• MonsterQuest - Complete Season 1 | DVD | (23/08/2010) from £39.99   |  Saving you £-20.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The History Channel's fun, scary-scientific Monsterquest roams the world in search of real-life monsters. A current inheritor of the style of the memorable Leonard Nimoy series In Search Of…, the show digs up dirt on the best known urban-legends monsters. Or are they…real? Each episode, punched to the hilt with meaningful music and dramatic narration, serves up a well-documented (or at least much-rumoured) freaky phenomenon. The titles of individual episodes give the flavour of the show: "America's Loch Ness Monster," "Mutant Canines," and "Birdzilla." This is not a sceptical enterprise, like National Geographic's Is It Real?, but an eager survey, complete with re-created scenes that visualize the beasties for us. One of the fun things about Monsterquest is that it introduces us to a collection of crackpots--er, witnesses--who have glimpsed the elusive monsters, such as the Wisconsin man who spotted a dog-creature and has since filled his home with lupine bric-a-brac. You're never far from some true believer who insists, "It looked like a friggin' werewolf." Naturally, there are also rational approaches: legitimate scientists examining bits of fur and tissue, DNA testing, lie-detector sessions. Snippets of historical monsters lend some pleasing shivers to the modern accounts. Watch a few of these in a row, and you'll feel like you're in the room with the UFO buffs in Close Encounters of the Third Kind ("I saw Bigfoot once!"), but the appeal is undeniable, especially for adolescent monster enthusiasts.--Robert Horton

  The men who dictated the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. World War II impacted the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, yet it was the decisions of a few powerful leaders that arguably shaped the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. From Hitler, who was responsible for initiating the conflict; to Churchill, the man who took Britain to war as Nazi forces started to take Europe by force; Hitler’s close ally Mussolini; and Roosevelt, who brought America into the war in 1941, we look back at the men whose decisions meant the difference between life and death for millions of innocent civilians. Archive footage that has rarely been seen in the past 70 years, expert analysis and previously unseen footage shape an in-depth portrait of four men who perhaps did more to influence the path World War II took than any other. These are the Wartime Leaders of World War II.
