• The Invisible Man, Series 1 (Box Set 2) | DVD | (07/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £39.99

  The Invisible Man continued its first year in increasingly tense and cryptic fashion. Anti-hero Darien has to keep up his spying gig in order to be fed an antidote to the side effects of the invisibility gland. Unfortunately it isn't working. The clock is ticking all the way to a tense finale, where the Quicksilver insanity threatens to consume him whole. There's lots of fun with the format on the way, of course. Darien encounters a ghost, a sperm thief and a hitman who likes to blind his witnesses. Some grander political backdrop comes to the fore as well, with the Chinese government seeking surreptitiously to obtain the gland. All the while there's a growing sense that the Agency has troubles of its own. In an unprecedented bit of audience participation, viewers were allowed to vote for the resolution of a story entitled "Money for Nothing". Fans went for the more interesting option, thankfully, and so an invisible bank raid pays off nicely for everyone. Creating constant conflict throughout the year is the lurking presence of arch-enemy Arnaud. The immediate resolution of that conflict is one of several surprise twists that singled out the show as more than standard TV SF fare. Not even a so-so cameo from Star Trek's Wil Wheaton could spoil the fun. On the DVD: The Invisible Man's second box set features even more extras than the first DVD set. Two cast commentaries are frequently comic, though with a constant sense of disappointment the show didn't go further than two series. There are lengthy interviews with the cast, too. But of real interest to fans will be alternate footage previously unseen in the UK. Some FX shots and script pages round out the package. --Paul Tonks

  Night People takes us on a journey across the city of Edinburgh introducing a cast of characters for whom there will be no sleep. Each of them is faced with a dilemma that ranges from the hilarious to the heartbreaking and they have until the next morning to make a decision that will change their lives forever. Stewart is struggling to be a good single Dad. He's just acquired a large pedigree dog he thinks he can sell for ''500 and so give his soon to be eight-year-old son the best birthday ever. Matthew is a missionary to Scotland all the way from Africa and guilty of the sin of pride. He meets Mary who will challenge and perhaps restore his faith but it's going to take all night. Thirteen-year-old David is on the run. He's waiting for the first bus to London. At the bus station he meets Josh a world-weary seventeen-year-old rent boy who may be able to show him a new life. Jane has been let down by her babysitter and has her five year old daughter Alison in the back of the taxi she drives for a living though this is no ordinary taxi. She spins a fairytale to keep Alison amused but finally has to decide just who she's kidding. A blind man is struggling across the city on the last journey he promised to a dear friend. He runs out of energy and looks for a taxi he finds Jane. Night People brings together an exceptional cast of newcomers to tell a tale of hope.
