Having seen a pro-am production of this show I can say that it is fantastic.I have seen it three times,and at each performance there has been a standing ovation. The musical numbers are wonderful. Take a listen and judge for yourself.

It's Just Not Cricket - Volumes 1 and 2

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: The 12th Man

Release Date May 10, 1999
I'd been hearing great things about the 12th Man (a.k.a. Billy Birmingham) on the grapevine for some time, so decided to give this one a try; I wasn't disappointed.
Despite numerous expletives and innuendos (be warned this is really adult humour) this is one of the best comedy recordings I have heard for a long time. The spoof Asian cricketer names, constant niggle between the commentators, ridiculous scorelines and constant emphasis on Richie Benaud's pronunciation of the "s" and "t" (i.e. 222 for 2) are HILARIOUS, and the whole script is dotted with some razor-sharp one-liners.
If you're familiar with Australia's Channel Nine cricket commentary you may get more out of this, but in places (even to the uninitiated) this is a rip-snorter!

Rocky Horror Picture Show: 25 Years of Absolute Pleasure

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date February 26, 2008
I wanted to replace my old vinyl copy of the RHPS and could only find this version online at the time, so I bought it. I does have a couple of extra songs that my vinyl copy didn't, but it ALSO has dialogue running into each track which I find very irritating when all I want to do is listen to the music. If this doesn't bother you, then this is a great, comprehensive album. If it does, buy the other version now available at Amazon.

Amistad [1997]

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
starring: Morgan Freeman, Nigel Hawthorne, Arliss Howard, Tomas Milian, Austin Pendleton
directed by: Steven Spielberg

Release Date January 29, 2001
One of the best films I've ever seen. I first caught up with it late one night in the 90's and have been itching to watch it gain ever since. I found the content realistic and with little censorship made me face up to what really went on in the 1800's rather than being pampered with the traditional Hollywood take on events.

Goon Show Classics: Enter Bluebottle (Previously Volume 2) (BBC Radio Collection)

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
from: BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Release Date October 01, 1999
If you know about the Goons then you probably like them. They were the inspiration for Monty Python. The Goonshow was on the radio nearly every week for ten years, so the question is: where to start? My answer is this album. Everyone has their own opinion as to the best episodes, but if you don't like Napoleon's Piano then there's no hope for you! It really is a gem, together with International Christmas Pudding. Here they are on one album. Start here.

Telling Tales (Radio Collection)

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Alan Bennett

Release Date November 06, 2000
I bought Alan Bennett's books on tape for my mother. She used to listen to them in bed at night, lying in the dark as Bennett's gentle, querulous voice described the minutiae of his family life in all its banal detail, illuminated by his wonderful observation and humour. Any one of his sentences will raise a smile. A whole book's-worth leaves you glowing with a feeling that all of our lives are equally full of this richness. How could they not be, when Bennett has found so much in what appears to be such a constrained and circumscribed world? He is indeed a national institution and we are fortunate that his voice on tape is perfectly equal to the poignancy and intimacy of his writing.

Come Again

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Derek and Clive

Release Date October 03, 1994
Its been remarked that no longer finding derek and clive funny is an indication of one's passage into the adult world.If this is correct I am pleased to continue my adolescence indefinately. After hearing this collection of dialogues, opening a pot of loganberry ( or indeed any) jam will never be the same again. Cubicles too assume a particular resonance and will demand that little extra consideration upon entrance.
When the grins dry up, adolescence may well have been breached,but you will have been welcomed to the world of senility, a far more charmless experience.

Garden State

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date December 06, 2004
This is probably one of the best soundtracks to any film I've heard. It added perfectly to each moment in the film, but stands up in it's own right as a excellent collection of tracks. This is a great album to kick back to whilst reading, or chilling on lazy Sunday afternoons and if you loved the film, this album will not disappoint.

Local Hero

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date March 24, 1997
I love the film. I love the music and love most of this album. Some tracks seem a bit strange such as the second one which is why I was a bit choosy as to which ones went onto my MP3 player. The main theme is haunting and deffinitely the best, the ceilidh music less memorable. All in all though this is a good soundtrack album. If only I could get hold of the film on DVD I would be very happy.
