Jonathan and his new friend Archie Weekes soon encounter all manner of peril – from smugglers villains and spies to superstitious villagers and ghostly apparitions. With their father reported missing in the Crimean War the family's situation becomes increasingly desperate but it's clear that Jonathan and his mother are not the only ones seeking the Flaxton 'fortune'...
Sharply observed and written with both sympathy and a sense of humour this critical and commercial success was created and written by the reknowned Liverpudlian playwright Willy Russell. This is the first time that this long-anticipated series has been release on DVD. This is the story of two Liverpool youths who go to the valleys of Wales to enjoy a peaceful life. They come from the Liverpool of 1983; a tough gritty uncompromising city a long way from the magical days of the Beatl
In 1907 Professor John Ivarsson and American archaeologist finds himself on a strange mission. He has been persuaded by Sir Anthony Ross a wealthy Englishman to undertake a search for his lost son Donald. The youth disappeared in the Arctic wilderness leaving two clues; a page from an old Hudson Bay Company journal mentioning a hidden island ""far beyond land's end where the whales go to die"" and a curious map of curved whalebone. The rescue party takes off in the Hyperion a g

With a remarkable cast headlined by Ian Carmichael, Richard Attenborough, Dennis Price and Terry Thomas, WWII army comedy Private's Progress was one of the major British hits of 1956. Carmichael is Stanley Windrush, a naïve young soldier who during training falls in with the streetwise Private Cox (Attenborough). Windrush's uncle is the even more ambitiously corrupt Colonel Tracepurcel (Price), who plans to divert the war effort to liberate art treasures already looted by the Germans. The first half of the film is quite pedestrian, though the pace picks up considerably once the heist gets underway, and the cheery tone masks a really rather dark and cynical heart. Carmichael's innocent abroad quickly wears thin, but Attenborough and Price steal the film, as well as the paintings, with typically excellent turns. With a nod in the direction of Ealing's The Ladykillers (1955) the film also anticipates the attitudes of both The League of Gentlemen (1959) and Joseph Heller's novel Catch 22 (1961), though lacks the latter's greater sophistication. The cast also contains such British stalwarts as William Hartnell, Peter Jones, Ian Bannen, John Le Mesurier, Christopher Lee and David Lodge, and was sufficiently popular to reunite all the major players for the superior sequel, I'm Alright Jack (1959). On the DVD: Private's Progress is presented in black and white at 4:3 Academy ratio, though the film appears to have been shot full frame and then unmasked for home viewing so there is more top and bottom to the images than at the cinema. The print used shows constant minor damage and is quite grainy, though no more than expected for a low-budget film of the time. The mono sound is average and unremarkable, and there are no special features. --Gary S Dalkin

A satirical, surreal and acutely observed comedy-drama from the mid-1980s, A Very Peculiar Practice stars Peter Davison, who, following turns as a vet in All Creatures Great and Small and the Doctor in Doctor Who, here plays naïve Dr Stephen Daker, a profoundly nervous new addition to Lowlands University's medical practice. The distinctly eclectic team he meets is headed by the compassionate, incompetent, alcoholic and suicidal "Jock" McCannon (the gloriously theatrical Graham Crowden). Barbara Flynn is marvellous as the manipulative bisexual Dr Rose Marie, and David Troughton as Dr Bob Buzzard personifies the "greed-is-good" ethos of the era. The seven 50-minute episodes here form an overall arc following Daker from sheer terror through romance with behavioural psychologist Lyn Turtle (Amanda Hillwood), to ethical conflict with the sociopathic vice-chancellor (played with relish by John Bird). Increasingly surreal (from strange nuns to stranger dream sequences--the second, even better series was more bizarre still), the series launches an acidic assault on the Thatcherite asset-stripping mentality that was then laying waste not just British universities, but the entire nation. Written with an acute irony by Andrew Davies, whose move into more mainstream adaptations such as Pride and Prejudice (1995) was contemporary TV drama's greatest loss, A Very Peculiar Practice is a television landmark that, alongside The Singing Detective and Edge of Darkness, marks 1986 as one of the finest years in the history of the medium. --Gary S Dalkin

Two kids hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them from a notorious playground bully.
While flying across the vast Pacific, a huge cargo plane is hit by a devastating funnel of wind which pulls the plane downwards to crash and perish in the cold depths of the ocean. Miles away in Washington, Steve, a local weatherman, has been following a series of strange and cataclysmic events: plane crashes, towns obliterated and, most recently, the disappearance of a cargo plane into the ocean. His daring research is unveiling a terrifying phenomenon: massive jet streams which normally occur in the upper atmosphere are heading closer and closer to earth, and with winds moving at over 500mph, their destruction is unstoppable and deadly. As the end of the planet as we know it approaches, a government convoy arrives at Steve s home and he is called upon to join a scientist on-board an airborne weather research facility. Merging their research, they quickly realise that the only way to really tackle a jet stream, is to head directly into the centre of one...
Welcome to Holmfirth, a breathtakingly beautiful village in the heart of the Holme Valley, home to our favourite idiosyncratic retired gentlemen. As they amble about the countryside, these unlikely lads are now enjoying a mischievous second childhood, devising and executing a multitude of (grey) hare-brained schemes. Which is just what you'd expect from Britain's oldest, if not wisest adolescents, and their equally eccentric fellow townspeople. Helped by a supporting band of formidable wives, hen-pecked husbands, sexually-charged mistresses, inventors, pigeon fanciers and balding lotharios, our three heroes are never far from one adventure or another. It'll end in trouble - especially when the formidable Nora Batty finds out.
