• Classic British Jets - Valiant | DVD | (05/03/2007) from £14.82   |  Saving you £-1.83 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  This totally unique DVD provides a detailed film history and profile of Britain's first nuclear V-Bomber - the Vickers Valiant. When the Cold War made a new generation of British heavy bombers with nuclear capability vital Vickers rose to the challenge and had the first Valiant flying by May 1951. In less than two years the company delivered 108 aircraft for RAF service and production continued until 1957. The black-painted 'Pathfinder' version (B Mk II) showed extraordinary promise for high speed ultra-low level attacks - but the seed for this capability was not recognised until a decade later and it was sidelined. The Valiant was soon 'blooded' with conventional bombing raids during the 1956 Suez Crisis - flying ops from Malta and also played an integral role in the Australian A-Bomb tests in 1956 and dropped Britain's first H-Bomb in the Pacific the following year. Highlights on this exclusive film history include film of the first Valiants entering squadron service rare footage of the 'Black' variant identification film footage a close-up look at the bomb bay and bomb-loading procedures rocket-assisted take-offs using 'Super Sprite' boosters very detailed coverage of the Christmas Island tests QRA scrambles air-to-air refuelling and much more.

• The Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus | DVD | (05/05/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £34.99

  The Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus will probably be purchased mostly for the standards--those sketches that have become the staple material of every office joker and pub bore in Christendom--the Spanish Inquisition, the Australian philosophers, the Ministry of Silly Walks. Good fun though these are, once you've expunged the memory of a million witless impersonators, this collection is really worth owning for the material that never quite registered in the popular consciousness. Sketches such as the Summarise Proust Competition, the misunderstanding over the Hungarian phrasebook and John Cleese's manically embittered architect with a grudge against the Freemasons are every bit as funny as the more familiar hits and, free of any associated baggage, they will startle and delight the younger viewer as much as Python must have startled and delighted their parents when first broadcast in the 1970s. On the DVD: The Best of Monty Python's Flying Circus is a three-disc set, and each volume is equipped with a sketch selector that is fussier than strictly necessary. But this is more than compensated for by the wonderful Terry Gilliam animations that the viewer uses to navigate. Subtitles are available in English only. --Andrew Mueller

• 25 Years | Blu Ray | (05/09/2022) from £11.49   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Directed by acclaimed, multi-award-winning filmmaker Peter Morley, 25 Years is an impressionistic survey of the years from the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952 through to her Silver Jubilee in 1977, featured here as a brand-new High Definition remaster from original film elements in both its original widescreen theatrical and fullscreen as-filmed aspect ratios. Combining archive and contemporary footage - including that of the royal visit to Canada and the US in 1976, the bicentenary year of American independence - the film explores the monarchy through a quarter-century that saw the conquest of Everest, the development of television as a mass medium, the first supersonic flight and mankind's first steps on another world. Through good times and bad, and tumultuous changes for better or for worse, one factor remained constant: the monarchy, in the person of Queen Elizabeth II, provided a continuity and stability which this film celebrates in her Silver Jubilee year.

• Hidden Worlds - Caves of the Dead 3D | Blu Ray | (03/02/2015) from £20.23   |  Saving you £-4.24 (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  In the days of the Maya Cenote – deep natural pits on the Yucatan peninsula - provided the only means of obtaining drinking water. But in the mythology of this advanced civilisation these waterholes and caves were also the entrance to Xibalba – the underworld. All deceased were obliged to pass through Xibalba and wait there until they were called into heaven. It was a place in which one made sacrifices to the gods. Today the relics of these acts are still in place preserved underwater for more than a thousand years. We accompany four professional research divers to Yucatan – a team of specialists able to squeeze their bodies through crevices and holes barely larger than their bodies and who master dives that would push even the most experienced divers to their limits. We enter Xibalba – the place of myths and the dead a voyage of no return. Bonus Features: Making Of Production and Research Divers Outtakes Trailer Photo Gallery
