• Political Target | DVD | (14/10/2013) from £5.99   |  Saving you £10.00 (166.94%)   |  RRP £15.99

  The return of the Red Brigade in Italy after 11 years of silence from this terrorist organization was a traumatic event for the entire country besides obviously for the families of the victims killed: the professors D'Antona and Biagi and subsequently the police superintendent Petri. It was precisely from this death that the investigators gained the key for entering into the heart of the new RB discovering that which appeared to be invisible and elusive and deliver a number of significant blows to the renewed terrorism even if the trial has not yet concluded. Narrating this story signifies trying to tell another piece of Italian history without doubt extremely recent and therefore without the necessary detachment of a historian but extremely deeply rooted in the ups and downs of Italian terrorism which have ancient roots and therefore place able within a wider context. This miniseries shows this gripping true story with great quality and respect. The investigative approach which was adopted after a decade of absence of investigations into terrorism is precisely one of the most significant aspects: they are investigations which differ from all the others also carried out using traditional methods but with intelligence and psychological and strategic methods which are different a challenge already won in the past by the State but which has re-presented itself suddenly and unexpectedly. This new challenge launched by the RB in 1999 with the murder of Massimo D'Antona also seems to have been won but there is always the danger that sooner or later someone will re-present it. A topic more than ever relevant in the times we are living right now.

Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol, and with the clock ticking on their five days, the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms.

• The Glory Days Of British Steam | DVD | (14/10/2013) from £11.95   |  Saving you £1.04 (8.70%)   |  RRP £12.99

  GWR Mixed Traffic: The Great Western Railways mixed-traffic classes revolutionised steam locomotive design in Britain. George Jackson Churchward, Chief Mechanical Engineer on the GWR from 1902 to 1922, successfully broke tradition with the introduction of his 43xx Class 2-6-0 moguls. They would go on to influence future locomotive design, not just on the Great Western network, but across the entire national network. Heavy Freight:Though passenger traffic came to play a huge part in the running of the railways, it was the movement of freight that first necessitated the laying of metals. As loads became heavier, the locomotives charged with hauling them grew accordingly. It was a trend that continued throughout the steam era, and one that produced some of the most powerful and rugged engines ever designed. BRITISH NARROW GAUGE: Narrow gauge railways have been employed in an enormous range of locations and for a brood variety of purposes. The locomotives that run on these lines come in all shapes and sizes. The Welsh Highlands Beyer Garratts are large in comparison to the Beyer Peacocks of the Isle of Man network. Nonetheless, both perform much the same duties hauling passengers along spectacular routes.
