Charley Boorman - By Any Means

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
from: Universal Pictures UK

Release Date November 03, 2008
The real shame here is that the very things that people are not happy with - the rushed journey, the feel that they were just `ticking boxes' in terms of reaching destinations and modes of transport, are all comments that have been put to the production company, via email and also on the Long Way Down website forum. I am a very huge fan of Charley Boorman, I think he is a genuine gem, interesting to watch and incredibly likeable, but unless the comments by viewers are listened to, then I wonder how many more chances he will get with viewers? As a fan, I get a lot of feedback from other people, and most of the feedback I got was how rushed this series was, and how disjointed it felt. With Ewan not there, that chemistry is absent, but Charley ... Read More:

14 Alfred Hitchcock films for this low price is an absolute bargain.
The films look and sound great and all have extra features.

Highly recommended.

Lee Mack - Live

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
starring: Lee Mack

Release Date November 26, 2007
Bought this DVD based on the reviews printed & I wasn't disappointed. There were loads of laugh-out-loud moments; one-liners, stories, banter with the audience. You can turn the swearing off apparently, but if you need to, you really shouldn't be watching! I'd pay to see him live - highly recommended.

Bleak House - BBC (3 Disc Special Edition) [2005]

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
starring: Gillian Anderson, Patrick Kennedy, Denis Lawson, Natalie Press, Liza Tarbuck
directed by: Justin Chadwick, Susanna White

Release Date November 13, 2006
It's difficult to imagine any dramatisation of 'Bleak House' being better done. The cast is uniformly excellent and the adaptation successfully captures the 'page-turner' quality of the book. Not to be missed.

Blue Planet : Complete BBC Series (Special Edition 4 Disc Box Set)

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
by: David Attenborough

Release Date October 03, 2005
The wet bits with the animals are well filmed although some of the animals look like they are playing up to the camera at times. The underwater bits don't look real in places especially with the multicoloured tiny fizzers. Also the dolphins are singled out as something special like in most fish films, but they are just a fish! This is since Flipper set the benchmark of what to expect of a fish. The documentary would have scored higher if it left out the dolphins and made Dave say 'tuna' not 'tuna' as he pronounces it. He says 'tuna' as in 'tooner' where I say 'tuna' as in 'choona'. He's not American!

Francesco's Venice : Complete BBC Series

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
starring: Francesco Da Mosto

Release Date June 19, 2006
This series is far more than a tourist trap - particularly as guide Francesco da Mosto would rather there were less visitors to his city (to buy less fake glass/carnival masks/plastic gondolas/jester hats)! Francesco is charming, witty and wonderfully insouciant as he presents an informative yet dramatic history of Venice, La Serenissima. He acknowledges its past arrogance and mistakes, whilst laughing at some of the more bizarre traditions (even he isn't sure about the election of the doges), but all the while maintains an awed respect for the stunning architecture and art, engineering and endurance of his home; Francesco is proud to be Venetian, and I only wish I could share the honour.

Stephen Fry in America [2007]

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
by: Stephen Fry

Release Date November 17, 2008
This is a brilliant series which shows Stephen Fry travelling around all of America in a black cab. He visits some really unusual places and coupled with his amazing humour and wit its a great dvd! My favourite part was when he was ice fishing, and the ice started to crack! pure tv magic!

Peep Show - Series 1-5 - Complete [2003]

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
starring: Robert Webb, Paterson Joseph, Neil Fitzmaurice, Rachel Blanchard, David Mitchell
directed by: Tristram Shapeero, Becky Martin, Jeremy Wooding

Release Date June 16, 2008
I'm not one for hyperbole but I'd be hard pressed to think of a better sit com in the canon of British comedy. You heard me!

Peep Show has earned its place on the vaunted Brit Com pedestal along with Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses.

Starring comedy duo David Mitchell and Robert Webb the premise of the program is that it is shot entirely in the first person (actors use hand held or even head mounted cameras while they act through their scenes) and we the audience are privvy not only to their points of view but to their thoughts as well.

Peep Show centres around the lives of two flat mates, conservative loan manager Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and out of work musician Jeremy Usbourne (Webb). While the "odd couple" field of comedy has ... Read More:

Cliff Richard - 50th Anniversary Time Machine Tour - Limited Special Edition [2008]

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
by: Cliff Richard

Release Date December 01, 2008
My husband and I flew from the US to attend this concert at Wembley. We were also there the night it was filmed. I have been to 4 Sir Cliff concerts previously when we were military stationed in England. However, this was the BEST of the lot. Can't wait to get this dvd even though it'll only play on my computer. If it's ever released in NTSC I'll order it again. That's how fantastic the show was. Definitely a must have for Cliff fans. Wish he would have put out a video of the 25th anniversary since it was the first show I attended. But I'll be very happy with this dvd.

Family Guy - Season 1 [1999]

CD-Charts > DVD > Substores
starring: Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry

Release Date November 12, 2001
Even though this DVD is quite old, it has some of the best Family Guy episodes. The content on the DVD really shows how Family Guy became so popular. Each episode will make you laugh out loud even if your in the worst of moods 10/10.
