• Abigail's Party | DVD | (26/05/2003) from £5.49   |  Saving you £10.50 (191.26%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Originally screened as part of BBC's Play for Today series in 1977, Abigail's Party is among Mike Leigh's most celebrated pieces, with his then-wife Alison Steadman appallingly brilliant as what Alan Bennett described as the "brutal hostess" at a ghastly suburban soiree. The Abigail of the title never appears--rather, the dull thud of her lively teenage party forms a distant backdrop (and contrast) to an excruciating evening of chilled red wine, olives and the music of Demis Roussos. Steadman plays the overbearing Beverley, an Amazonian mass of frustrated sensuality in a low-cut party frock. Tim Stern is her small, stressed estate-agent husband. The guests are Janice Duvitski as Angela, a nurse whose quite spectacular gormlessness shields her from the stilted social awkwardness quietly raging around her, John Salthouse as Tony, her taciturn husband and Harriet Reynolds as Sue, the gangly and miserably nervous mother of Abigail. Rather than play for gags, Leigh and his actors mercilessly turn the screw of embarrassment through a series of too-true-to-life exchanges of dialogue, the stuff of all our collective worst memories of encounters with neighbours, aunts and office colleagues. Often misread as a satirical parade of suburban grotesques, Abigail's Party probes deeper than that, touching on nerves of anxiety and repression that throb behind the net curtains of modern England, culminating not in farce but tragedy. Decades on, Abigail's Party is as psychologically true and close to home as ever--hard to bear but utterly brilliant. On the DVD: Abigail's Party is perfectly reproduced here in all its 1970s garishness. The one extra is a short featurette, focussing on Alison Steadman's playing of Beverley, with comments from the original actors in the TV series and Peter York marvelling at her "paint-scraping" voice. --David Stubbs

• Wilt | DVD | (14/08/2006) from £10.98   |  Saving you £4.00 (44.49%)   |  RRP £12.99

• Reach For The Sky | DVD | (17/04/2019) from £3.99   |  Saving you £6.00 (150.38%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Reach for the Sky was a box-office hit in 1956 and rightly remains a fondly regarded classic of British cinema. Kenneth More is ideally cast as Douglas Bader, the gifted pilot who loses both legs in a pre-war air crash, only to play a major role in the Battle of Britain, rise to the rank of Group Captain and become a war hero. Based on Paul Brickhill's biography, this is an "official" history maybe, but Lewis Gilbert's screenplay and direction are historically accurate and informed by that very British humour, of which More was a natural. The film is graced by a decent supporting cast and a typically "widescreen" score from John Addison. On the DVD: Reach for the Sky is vividly reproduced in 16:9 anamorphic format and decent mono. There are subtitles for the hard of hearing and detailed biographies of More, Gilbert and Barder. The original theatrical trailer is included, but it would also have made sense to include an interview or documentary footage of Bader himself. --Richard Whitehouse

• Mike Leigh: The BBC Collection | DVD | (17/04/2019) from £29.05   |  Saving you £-4.05 (N/A%)   |  RRP £25.00

Shot entirely on location in Leigh''s native Salford Hard Labour depicts the grinding daily routine of stoical domestic cleaner Mrs Thornley and her cantankerous family. The Permissive Society: The title is ironic - a popular expression in mid-70''s sexually liberated Britain but a far cry from the gentle innocent warmth of this short play shot entirely in a television studio.

Nuts In May: Follow Keith and Candice-Marie a rather self-righteous vegetarian couple in their exhausting attempt to enjoy an idyllic camping holiday in Dorset.

He and his best friend Ronnie are confronted by and finally escape the clutches of two predatory and fiercely conventional young women Sandra and Linda. Filmed on location in Oldham. Who''s Who?: A film about toffs and snobs. Richard Kane stars as Alan an obsequious autograph hunter who works as a clerk for a City stockbroker and whose wife breeds pedigree chinchilla cats. Through Alan''s eyes we look at the lives of his upper class employers and the younger Sloane Ranger set at his firm. Abigail''s Party: Immediately after its smash-hit run at The Hampstead Theatre London this 1977 stage-play was wheeled by Mike Leigh into an electronic TV studio - like The Permissive Society it isn''t a film.

Their new life is plagued by endless visits from Mandy''s lonely elder sister Gloria a situation that finally erupts into a major catastrophe involving the neighbours. Home Sweet Home: The tragic-comic tale of a lonely postman the social workers who chivvy him about his estranged teenage daughter and his secret affairs with the wives of his fellow postmen. Four Days In July: A wonderfully engaging and bitterly humorous take on The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Set (and shot) in Belfast in July 1984 around the annual 12th July Loyalist Parades the film examines the communities on both sides of the divide. Through the depiction of a Catholic couple and a Protestant couple each on the brink of the birth of their first child Mike Leigh explores the daily lives of the divided community. Five-Minute Films: This collection also includes a rare treat five short films written and directed by Mike Leigh - Afternoon Birth of the Goalie Old Chums A Light Snack and Probation.
