  It's The Italian Job so obviously I head to Kent in England for the race of a lifetime. But first I have to get ready. So it's the Fiorano test track in Italy where I spend a while not getting ready at all. I try the gym but it's all rubbish so instead I decide to compare Ferrari's 458 Italia and the limited edition 599 GTO. On paper that doesn't seem fair. But in reality.... Next stop is the infamous Imola race circuit. The Stig joins me to get the most out of the Porsche GT3 and its stripped out cousin the GT3 RS. Also present are the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera and the jaw-dropping Mercedes SLS AMG with its gullwing doors. My face gets a workout too thanks to an Ariel Atom. With a V8 engine. Then for some reason The Stig does something terrible to the face of Rubens Barrichello. My final Italian shake-down comes from the '1.3 million Nurburgring lap record holder - the Zonda R with its 750 horsepower V12 and slick tyres. Finally I'm ready. So it's back to England for my first ever Classic Touring Car Race...I don't know the car I don't know the circuit and I'm up against 20 experienced rivals...What could possibly go wrong?

  As Britain emerged from the Second World War new social political and ideological challenges brought about inevitable and far-reaching change. With change came a need to look at and engage with the country's people and places values and industries in fresh and exciting ways. Out of the shadows cast by such celebrated documentarians as Humphrey Jennings and Paul Rotha emerged the likes of John Krish Eric Marquis and Derrick Knight each of whom employed bold and distinctive new techniques in order to tackle an increasingly diverse array of subjects. Until now the films and filmmakers in this collection have been unjustly overlooked and under-appreciated. And yet the films presented here - commissioned by private industry commercial sponsors Government departments and independent charities - are every bit as inspired ground-breaking and indispensable as anything produced by the Free Cinema or British Documentary Movements.

• City Lights | Blu Ray | (15/11/2010) from £24.28   |  Saving you £-4.29 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Made in 1931 shortly after the introduction of the talkies, Charlie Chaplin's City Lights is nonetheless near-silent. Chaplin was afraid that, should his universally known and beloved Tramp speak onscreen, he would be severely limited and compromised as a character. And so, City Lights is billed as "pantomime", a piece of cinema harking back to the manners and methods of an already defunct era. Chaplin fell out of fashion towards the end of the 20th century as a new wave of comedians (Rowan Atkinson for one) castigated him for what they saw as his excessive, maudlin sentimentality. Certainly, City Lights--which sees Chaplin's Tramp befriended by a blind flower girl who mistakes him for a rich benefactor--is hokum indeed. Accepting this, however, what makes the film so marvellous is the deceptive skill and artistry of Chaplin the filmmaker, the immaculate timing and acrobatic grace of his seemingly slapstick comedy, in particular a justly famous boxing sequence. Chaplin's sparing use of sound is inventive also: the wordless waffle of public speakers in the opening scene and another in which the tramp swallows a whistle. Moreover, the conclusion, in which the dishevelled Tramp encounters again the flower girl, her eyesight restored is--sentimentality notwithstanding--one of the most moving and superbly executed scenes in cinema history, not least for its economy and restraint. On the DVD: City Lights contains a generous package of extras on this two-disc set, including an introduction by David Robinson, in which he relates how poorly Chaplin and his leading lady Virginia Cherrill got on, an extended documentary/interview with Peter Lord (partner in animation to Nick Parks), who sings the praises of Chaplin's screen art, and a deleted scene, an immaculate piece of business involving a grate and a stick. There's a bonus in the form of an excerpt from 1915's The Champion, in which Chaplin prefigures the boxing scene from City Lights. Meanwhile, the "documents" section includes a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage, including a test screening for alternative actress Georgia Hale, rehearsal shots, chaotic scenes of Chaplin being mobbed in Vienna, a meeting with Winston Churchill and 1918 footage of Chaplin horsing around with famous boxers of the day including Benny Leonard. It also contains trailers, photo gallery and subtitles. On the first disc, the film's transfer to DVD is splendid. --David Stubbs
