• Carry On Girls | DVD | (27/08/2001) from £15.05   |  Saving you £-5.06 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Carry On Girls was the last really successful instalment of the epic series of British film comedies. It's studded with gems of cameo performances and a tremendously innuendo-laden Talbot Rothwell script that is easily the equal of any of its predecessors. The setting, a beauty contest to raise the profile of the dismal resort Fircombe-on-Sea, is ripe for politically incorrect activity of the sort that could only be conducted by Sid James at the height of his lecherous powers. Enter Bernard Bresslaw in a corset, Wendy Richard as Ida Downs, Barbara Windsor as Miss Easy Rider and a host of other semi-clad lovelies and watch as the whole thing rises to a slapstick climax of frisky old colonels, bikinis, bosoms and itching powder. In the smaller roles, Joan Hickson (BBC television's Miss Marple) is hilarious as an elderly woman who believes she is a man-magnet and the always under-used Patsy Rowlands excels as the downtrodden mayor's wife, a worm who finally turns. But in many ways this is June Whitfield's film. As the terrifying reactionary councillor Mrs Prodworthy, with a butch lesbian sidekick, she plots the downfall of her male colleagues with classic lines. "Rosemary, get the candle", she orders as Patsy Rowlands requests initiation into the cause. Margaret Thatcher never sounded so ominous. On the DVD: Like most of the other DVD Carry On releases, this one is presented in 4:3 format with a mono soundtrack. All right, you don't really need anything more sophisticated to recreate the cosy ritual of Carry On watching in your living room. And the print is good and sharp. But apart from the usual scene index, the lack of extras reflects a disappointingly unimaginative approach to celebrating a genre of film comedy that, for all its low budget reputation, provided a showcase for the cream of a whole generation of British comic actors. They deserve better.--Piers Ford

• Don't Forget The Motorcity | DVD | (19/11/2007) from £24.15   |  Saving you £0.84 (3.48%)   |  RRP £24.99

  The Motorcity reunion came about from Ian Levine's love of The Motown Sound. By the age of fourteen he'd collected every British Motown release. After a huge run of hits in the 1980's he went to Detroit and Los Angeles and recorded over a hundred different artists who were signed to Motown in the 60's and 70's; a staggering total of over eight hundred songs. Sadly over half these artists are no longer with us but priceless footage remains much of it never seen before the release of this DVD. This priceless footage captures the magic of a long gone era - music to make your feet tap your hair tingle your fingers snap and a feel good factor like driving down to the beach on a warm summer's day. Sit back press play and enter the spirit of the Detroit Sound.

• Barbara Currie's Fun Yoga For Kids | DVD | (23/09/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  One of the unexpected trends in the yoga mania that is sweeping the country is the demand--and popularity--of yoga for kids. Established expert and popular yoga instructor Barbara Currie's Fun Yoga for Kids isn't just capitalising on the interest, but instead offers a genuine, sound introduction aimed at children--and that includes the kid in everyone. While the set, graphics, animation and format are all kid-friendly, the key to this programme's success is that Currie resists turning it into a pantomime. With precise and concise instructions she takes the kids straight into saluting Sammy the Sun, a core yoga sequence. The difference between this and adult yoga is that the holds in positions are not as long. With Colin the Cobra's Forest of Secrets as the setting, the 50-minute session flies through about a posture every two minutes. The postures are renamed after animals such as Willy the Warrior Warthog (warrior position), Tallulah the Toucan (triangle position), Billy the Bear and Freddie the Flamingo (balancing positions), Geri the Giraffe (twist). By featuring real kids rather than perfect models or trained actors, the responses are endearingly imperfect, spontaneous, and genuine. All in all it's a fantastic introduction for parents and kids, with no chance of anyone getting bored. On the DVD: Fun Yoga for Kids on disc offers each posture itemised scene by scene making it simple to choose favourites, repeat, or adapt for shorter sessions. --Lorna V
