A fascinating compilation of some of the more exciting highlights of the 1987 Monte Carlo Rally! The 1987 Monte-Carlo Rally marked the start of a new era for the World Rally Championship. The Group B 'supercars' had been banned but turbo-charged and four-wheel-drive machines ensured there was still plenty of speed drama and controversy. Experience the opening round of the 1987 World Rally Championship and a new era for the sport in these exceptional highlights. Juha Kankkunen had switched to Lancia for '87 and it seemed a good move as the Delta 4WDs of the World Champion and teammates Bruno Saby and Miki Biaison dominated the opening stages of the five-day event. As the battled raged across snow and ice the fight to be 'best of the rest' featured Walter Rohrl in the Audi 200 Quattro the Ford Sierra Cosworth of Stig Blomqvist the Mazda 323 of Timo Salonen and reigning Group A World Champion Kenneth Eriksson in the Volkswagen Golf GTi. Despite Rohrl's best efforts this would be a duel between Kankkunen and Biasion. With just one day left the dominant Lancias faced exclusion after a protest. The team escaped sanction but there was further controversy when Biasion secured an unexpected victory ahead of a clearly unhappy Kankkunen. Fabulous footage and revealing interviews bring you all the action drama and controversy from the first chapter of a new era in World Rallying. Monte-Carlo Rally 1987 is part of a collectable set of classic Monte-Carlo rally highlights programmes.

It is 1850 in the beautiful perfectly kept town of Wismar. Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) is about to leave on a long journey over the Carpathian Mountains to finalise real estate arrangements with a wealthy nobleman. His wife Lucy (Isabel Adjani) begs him not to go and is troubled by a strong premonition of danger. Despite her warnings Jonathan arrives four weeks later at a large gloomy castle. Out of the mist appears a pale wraith-like figure with a shaven head and deep sunken eyes who identifies himself as Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) The events that transpire slowly convince Harker that he is in the midst of a vampire. What he doesn't know however is the magnitude of danger he his wife and his town are about to experience as victims of the Nosferatu. Directed by Werner Herzog a leading figure in German Cinema's 'new wave' of the 1970's Nosferatu is widely recognised as one of the finest films of the vampire genre. A homage to F. W. Murnau's 1922 original Herzog's Nosferatu is driven towards tragedy and visual splendour rather than the gory bloodfests of later remakes. Herzog's frequent leading man and eccentric live wire Klaus Kinski (Android Lifespan Dr Zhivago) gives a sensational performance as the eerie goblin-like Dracula.
