Clarkson - Thriller [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
by: Jeremy Clarkson
starring: Jeremy Clarkson

Release Date November 03, 2008
Wow, I really enjoyed this film. It has all the brilliant cars we'd all love to have in our garages. It's a showcase of the engineering masterpieces at the present day and age. And as usual, to tie things together, Clarkson's incessant humerous comments provide very frequent bouts of laughter which makes the journey to find the perfect thriller car a highly enjoyable experience.

The only thing I didn't like in the film was that a whole segment towards the middle is based on blowing things up rather than finding the perfect thrill.

It's a very enjoyable film to watch for all the petrol-heads out there and I'd highly recommend it.

Keep it up Clarkson!

The Complete Fawlty Towers [1975]

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
starring: John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs, Connie Booth, Bernard Cribbins
directed by: Bob Spiers, John Howard-Davies

Release Date October 03, 2005
This is a unique combination of some fairly 'intellectual' and witty sayings with slapstick humour and it works brilliantly. Most comedies that are aired by the BBC are not usually repeatedly viewed as they are frankly not good enough but if they were viewed repeatedly then huge holes would appear in the plot.

I am not an expert on what makes a comedy work but these episodes contain a good story line, tension, brilliant timing, clever spatial arrangements, facial expressions, pauses and witty lines and the combination is hilarious.

It contains some allusions that would only have been picked up by a reasonably well educated audience in the 1970s e.g jokes about types of wine and the preparation of certain sorts of cuisine ... Read More:

I was pleasantly surprised. It was much better than I thought. Although, no Colin still quite enjoyable. Lake scene was a riot! A nice twist to the story. As she says in the movie, "Jane Austen is rolling in her grave." lol

Gavin & Stacey : Complete BBC Series 2 [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
starring: Ruth Jones, James Corden, Mathew Horne, Joanna Page

Release Date November 10, 2008
I enjoyed this series but personally for me series 1 was better
Series 2 ticked all the usual boxes.Funny,yes,charming,yes but for some reason I didn't like Stacy as much in this series as she became a bit of a whinger.
Ness and Smithy were the stars this time.I love Ruth Jones,shes 'geniune',Smithy is,as usual,top notch as are Uncle Bryn & Pam & Mick.Also,Smithys sister was a good addition as well.
The storyline of Dawny,Pete and the threesome was a bit silly if the truth be known,I cringed and I'm in no way a prude.
I would dearly love to know what happened on the fishing trip with Jason & Uncle Bryn and why Dave from Daves coaches hasn't blown the gaff and told Nessa.Does this mean it will come out in the Christmas ... Read More:

The Wire : Complete HBO Season 1

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
starring: Dominic West, Sonja Sohn

Release Date April 18, 2005
After Soprano's came to an end last year over here in blighty last year I was wondering would another series come along to give it a run for it's money.

I'm not sure what people think of David Chase's Mafia Epic but I can imagine cries of overrated being called out, I personally found utterly engrossing TV and simply sublime, I was somewhat sad to see it end but grateful Chase chose it to go out on high and yes I was perfectly happy with the opened ended abrupt ending to the final episode. Chase never was going to do conventional.

While I admit Showtime's Dexter started to fill that void, the 1st season was a great intro to the world of Miami's most interesting serial killer the 2nd season took the concept and ran with it, the 3rd ... Read More:

Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV [2005]

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
starring: Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis, Andy Parsons, Russell Howard, Dara O'Briain

Release Date November 26, 2007
I am a fan of the TV show, seen them all, so when I saw this in the sale had to give it a try. Some of the stuff in this is so outrageous that I am a little suprised it made it on DVD, but I am glad it did. Some of the stuff on this had me crying with laughter. A must purchase (unless you are easily offended!)

Blackadder: Complete Collection - BBC Series 1-4 & The Specials

CD-Charts > DVD > All Television
starring: Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Tim McInnerny, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie
directed by: Martin Shardlow, Mandie Fletcher, Richard Boden

Release Date October 03, 2005
Though it's nice to have the entire Blackadder collection in one neat DVD-set, there's no comparison between Season One (1983) and the subsequent three seasons.

The 1983 series was directed by Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder) and Richard Curtis. Though Brian Blessed is a superb actor, the dialogue is mildly amusing at best. It simply can't hold a candle to the 1985, 1987 and 1989 seasons - all directed by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. Season 2 is set in the first Elizabethan Era (late 16th century). Miranda Richardson is hilarious as Queen Elizabeth and it also features a young(ish) Stephen Fry as Lord Melchett. Season 3 is probably my favourite; it's set in the Regency period (early 19th century) where Hugh Laurie excels as Prince George. In one classic episode called ... Read More:
