Captured for the first time on DVD, the 16th series of Top Gear finds Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May on typically explosive form. Within this lavishly constructed plastic box you will find many splendid things including a combine harvester that's also a snow plough, a luxury limo test that accidentally turns into a bank robbery, a car-based Ashes tournament against the Australians, a farewell to the Pagani Zonda, a helicopter landing on a Skoda, a Volkswagen Beetle falling from the sky, a classic '80s battle between the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40, a road test of a real life moon buggy and a race against God himself. Obviously those actual things aren't inside the box. That would be silly. It's a small silver disc that's inside the box.

Simply Media are delighted to announce the first DVD release of The Brothers: The Complete Series 5, containing all 13 episodes of this television gem written and created by N. J. Crisp (Dixon of Dock Green) and Gerard Glaister (Dr. Finlay's Casebook), following the successful and popular release of series 1-4 by Simply Media to date. Originally shown on BBC One's Sunday night spot in 1975, and proving to be one of the broadcaster's most popular drama series of the 1970s, this will be the first time fans of the long-running boardroom soap opera will be able to own this series on DVD. Series 5 continues the dramatic story of the Hammond family who are left to manage the lucrative Hammond Transport Services, inherited from the family patriarch Robert Hammond, who died while doing the nasty with his secretary. Tensions run high when shares in the family business are unexpectedly split not just between all three brothers in the family, but also with Robert's secretary Jennifer (Jennifer Wilson - Z Cars). Each shareholder has different ideas on how to run the business. Edward (Patrick O'Connell - Fraud Squad) is a no nonsense, well-paid accountant who feels he was most qualified to run the whole business by himself; David (Robin Chadwick - Pride and Prejudice (1967)) is a disinterested second class honours, first class layabout arts graduate and playboy with a glamorous girlfriend (Gabrielle Drake); while Brian (Richard Easton - Finding Forrester) is a dull accountancy wizard with a controlling wife. Throw domineering mother Mary (Jean Anderson - The Railway Children) in to the mix and The Brothers delivers a winning formula of power struggles and family feuding that kept fans devoted. Tensions reach fever pitch in Series 5 with the introduction of Kate O'Mara (Doctor Who) as the no-nonsense, tough boss of an airfreight business Jane Maxwell. Her arrival sparks a memorable and entertaining rivalry with the equally ambitious, ruthless city banker Paul most hated man in Britain Merroney played by Colin Baker (Doctor Who). Fascinating fact for you: O'Mara and Baker's on-screen rivalry sparked off in The Brothers would continue in another face off, this time on the set of Doctor Who where Baker played the sixth incarnation of The Doctor and O'Mara was cast as evil Time Lady 'The Rani'. With gripping boardroom drama, unlike anything you'll find on television today, family tragedy, financial struggles, secrets and betrayal, this is a series that should not be missed by any fans of The Brothers. And, it's a great opportunity for series newcomers to get stuck in to the ways and woes of the alluring Hammond family.

On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. In the span of one month the island nation was conquered. As a dominion of the Empire the newly acquired territory was renamed Area 11. The rights of its citizens were severely limited and an economic depression followed for the Japanese, now known as Elevens. Just as things seemed at their bleakest one man chose to stand up and fight, the masked crusader Zero. Leading his Order of Black Knights, Zero instigated a full scale revolution against Britannia culminating in one final battle, the Black Rebellion. Heavy casualties were seen by both sides but ultimately Britannia stood the victor resulting in Zero's execution. And thus was history written. The year is now 2018. With Zero dead and the remnants of the Black Knights being swept up by the Britannian forces, a forced state of peace settles over Area 11. The rights of the Elevens remain limited but with no one to lead them and the defeat during the Black Rebellion hanging over them, the Japanese people remain under the boot of Britannian Empire with no hope to overcome this oppression.
