  Welcome to a hectic world of sexual adventures triumphs love scams and a fair bit of crime on a rough Manchester housing estate where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen. Titles Comprise: Series 1: Blisteringly funny offbeat drama following the rollercoaster lives and loves of an anarchic family from Manchester. Meet the Gallaghers. Mum went AWOL years ago Dad stayed at home with the six children only to hit the bottle. And sometimes the kids... The real head of the family is big sister Fiona (20) who looks after Carl (11) Debbie (9) and baby Liam (3). She is occasionally helped more often hindered by reluctant virgin 'Lip' (16) and the actively gay but very private Ian (15). Series 2: Seven months on from the first series and Manchester's favourite son Frank Gallagher is expecting another addition to the clan this time with his agoraphobic lover Sheila. On the back of a fiddled insurance claim the Gallagher children have extended their home into the house next door. Underage Ian's married Muslim lover Kash is being pressured by wife Yvonne to have 'thermometer sex' to inseminate her. Meanwhile loved up next-door neighbours Veronica and Kev have their own family crisis with Veronica's rampant mum Carol and troubled brother Marty living with the Gallaghers since Marty burnt their house down. Series 3: The critically acclaimed and brilliantly funny drama from award-winning writer Paul Abbott features the Chatsworth Estate's Gallaghers probably the UK's most dysfunctional family. Head of the family Frank embarks on a series of adventures with his remarkably well-balanced children Fiona Lip Ian Debbie Carl and Liam - not forgetting the other two with Frank's valium-fuelled lover Sheila. Series 4: Frank is sent into a spin when mum Monica turns up claiming to be back for good. Surely the house is not big enough for her and Sheila? Lip is juggling with parenting and Ian is looking for love. Carl is busy on a secret crime spree while Debbie decides to interview potential boyfriends. Carol is still having trouble keeping her legs and mouth shut while Kash is happy screwing the council. Meanwhile the Maguires have moved in next door. After a stint in prison Jamie Maguire returns and sparks fly with barmaid Karen. Series 5: The multi-award winning Shameless is back with a bang - and a sizzle when Frank accidentally urinates on a generator electrocuting his privates. In series five things turn from bad to worse when in hospital he's told he has a heart condition and doesn't have long to live. Meanwhile Lip returns home from University and is followed closely by his new girlfriend much to Mandy's dismay. And he's not the only one with relationship issues: Ian very nearly finds love Carl continues with his sexploits and the quiet outsider Debbie surprises everyone by falling head over heels. The Gallagher family look set to grow when Monica falls pregnant; it's just as well they're keeping the numbers up see. Series 6: Head of the family in name only is Dad Frank - a feckless charmless self-pitying unemployed bully - a model father. Since mum went AWOL dad hit the bottle leaving his six remarkably well-balanced children Fiona Lip Ian Debbie Carl and Liam to fend for themselves. But the Gallaghers need not worry anymore now they've teamed up with the local gangsters the Maguires who continue to explode the myth of a conventional family. Series 7: Life as normal on the Chatsworth estate.

• Delicatessen | Blu Ray | (13/01/2014) from £15.00   |  Saving you £7.99 (53.27%)   |  RRP £22.99

  Delicatessen presents a post-apocalyptic scenario set entirely in a dank and gloomy building where the landlord operates a delicatessen on the ground floor. But this is an altogether meatless world, so the butcher-landlord keeps his customers happy by chopping unsuspecting victims into cutlets, and he's sharpening his knife for the new tenant (French comic actor Dominque Pinon) who's got the hots for the butcher's near-sighted daughter. Delicatessen is a feast (if you will) of hilarious vignettes, slapstick gags, and sweetly eccentric characters, including a man in a swampy room full of frogs, a woman doggedly determined to commit suicide (she never gets it right) and a pair of brothers who make toy sound boxes that "moo" like cows. It doesn't amount to much as a story, but that hardly matters; this is the kind of comedy that leaps from a unique wellspring of imagination and inspiration, and it's handled with such visual virtuosity that you can't help but be mesmerised. French co-directors of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro have wildly inventive imaginations that gravitate to the darker absurdities of human behaviour, and their visual extravagance is matched by impressive technical skill. There's some priceless comedy here, some of which is so inventive that you may feel the urge to stand up and cheer. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com On the DVD: the special features are pretty standard, with a trailer, "making of" featurette and footage of the rehearsal process. The audio commentary is supplied by Jeunet, which, although interesting, is in French and thus necessitates the use of subtitles which then obliterate the movie's own subtitles. Once the commentary is on it is virtually impossible to turn this option off without reloading the disc. However, the Dolby stereo works wonders for this film, which is rich in sound, and surprisingly the 1.85:1 letterbox ratio is perfect for a film that is grainy by design. --Nikki Disney

• The Shiver of the Vampires (Limited Edition Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (08/05/2023) from £19.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Jean Rollin's third feature film, 1971's The Shiver of the Vampires (Le Frisson des vampires), established themes and visual motifs to which he would return throughout his career, blending horror, eroticism, fairy tale, and surrealism to create his unique cinema of the fantastique.

Why?) and Marie-Pierre Castel (Lips of Blood), ravishing cinematography from Rollin's regular collaborator Jean-Jacques Renon, and a thrilling jazz-rock score by Acanthus, The Shiver of the Vampires is regarded as one of Rollin's greatest films.

• Schoolgirl Hitchhikers | Blu Ray | (06/11/2017) from £10.48   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Best known for his erotic horror films, such as THE RAPE OF THE VAMPIRE, LIPS OF BLOOD, and THE LIVING DEAD GIRL, French filmmaker Jean Rollin frequently indulged in the softcore (and occasionally hardcore) sex film. Among the more personal of these films is SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS (Jeunes filles impudiques), which reflects many of the themes and fascinations that run through his esoteric body of work. Joelle Coeur (Rollin's THE DEMONIACS) and Gilda Arancio star as a pair of lovers enjoying a blissful cross-country hike. But the carefree erotic film turns suddenly dark when the women are set upon by a band of thieves who think they have stolen their loot, and use sadistic means to force a confession.

• Lips Of Blood | DVD | (29/03/2004) from £11.70   |  Saving you £6.28 (72.10%)   |  RRP £14.99

  There's no director like Jean Rollin, the French horror fantasist who mixes the poetry of Jean Cocteau with the emotionless performances of Robert Bresson in his erotic vampire films. Lips of Blood is one of his best, an Oedipal tale of a young man haunted by visions of a forgotten childhood when he spies a poster of a coastal castle at a party. Jean-Louis Philippe, a hopelessly bland and flat performer, wanders through the deserted piazzas and fountains of his suddenly odd and alien hometown, eerily lit up in the dead of night. He's a man lost in a world where a woman in white silently materialises like a supernatural muse, gunmen appear from the inky-black night, and four naked vampire girls prowl the streets for blood and watch over him like dark angels. It's a tale of blood, sex, and haunting desire full of nudity and death and told in an austere, surreal style born of forced budgetary austerity. Rollin is slipshod with his action scenes and stiff with performers, but once he leaves the confines of the "real" world (where he's oddly uncomfortable) his style creates a trancelike mood to complement the beauty of his poetically macabre vision. The film our hero watches early in the picture is Rollin's own Shiver of the Vampires. --Sean Axmaker
