  A massive success for Sky One, this hit sitcom from the writers and producers of Shameless, The IT Crowd and The Office stars BAFTA winner Jason Watkins, Sarah Parish, Stephen Tompkinson, Miriam Margolyes, Jane Horrocks and Mark Addy in an ongoing saga of beleaguered managers, oddball checkout staff and unsatisfied customers at Valco, a fictional north-west supermarket. This set contains all five series and all three Christmas specials - alongside a wealth of special features, including behind the scenes featurettes, video diaries and outtakes. Series One Deputy manager Julie tries desperately hard to make a good impression on her boss Gavin - which isn't helped by the major crush she has on him... Series Two Gavin's promotion to Area Manager makes way for incoming manager Lorraine to introduce Valco's new below economy line The No Nonsense Range . Series Three A new Head of Strategy has been tasked with modernising the store. Young, dynamic and barking mad, his avant garde ideas clash with Gavin's safe and by-the-book approach. Series Four Valco's new resident pharmacist - a fantasist with a chip on his shoulder about doctors - causes headaches for Gavin, though not as many as Rose - a seemingly sweet old lady who is anything but! Series Five Discount chain Lauda is opening up right opposite Valco. As the staff ponder an uncertain future, manager Gavin is shocked to find the new store run by a ruthless retail rival!

  This hard-hitting anthology series continued the single-play format that had proved so successful with ITV's legendary Armchair Theatre, presenting six contemporary plays by writers at relatively early stages in their careers. The keynote is a provocative realism: Stephen Poliakoff's Hitting Town is an intense portrayal of siblings who find refuge from their bleak lives in one incestuous night; Roger McGough's The Life Swappers is a darkly comic take on the theme of exchanged identities; Howa...

• I Love You To Death | DVD | (17/11/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  I Love You to Death is a spotty black comedy from Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill)--based on a true story--that stars Kevin Kline as a womanising pizzeria owner whose mousy wife (Tracey Ullman) tries multiple ways of murdering him with the aid of sundry friends and hired hands. The film never picks up the necessary momentum or develops the necessary tone to drive it and one is left picking and choosing which of the performers is at least adequately entertaining. Kline is good but perhaps a bit too theatrical and Joan Plowright is hilarious as his mother-in-law. The funniest joke in the whole thing belongs to William Hurt and Keanu Reeves as deeply stoned, would-be-killers who emerge from a taxi and look as if they can't remember what planet they're on. --Tom Keogh

• Sunshine | DVD | (10/04/2013) from £20.00   |  Saving you £-0.01 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  This sprawling family saga follows a Hungarian-Jewish family across three generations, and stars Ralph Fiennes as the father, the son, and the grandson in three distinctly different roles. As a Europudding vehicle for Fiennes and a top-drawer cast (including Jennifer Ehle, Rachel Weisz, Deborah Unger, Miriam Margolyes and William Hurt), Sunshine delivers on all fronts: there's glossy melodrama, high-moral seriousness as history wears the family down like the wind, and leitmotifs--the family elixir called "Sunshine" that founds their fortune, semi-incestuous adulterous liaisons, photographs and faces--that thread the epic three-hour narrative together. Fiennes begins as a stiff Budapest lawyer-cum-officer and judge during the First World War, torn when anti-Semitism raises its head. His son is a champion fencer who denounces the family faith to attain advancement but ends up in the Nazi-run labour camps all the same. The last in the line, a policeman this time, must navigate the Stalinist forces of repression and endures through the 1956 uprising to take back the family name and faith. And yet as a film by director István Szabó (Colonel Redl, Mephisto), it's a bit of a soggy disappointment lacking the bile and spit and visual inventiveness that makes the best of his other works so outstanding. Perhaps the fact that Szabó is directing an all-English speaking cast is the problem, leaving the film feeling strangely old-fashioned and paradoxically lacking a sense of place (despite much of it being filmed in Hungary itself). Although there are some charged emotional beats throughout, pretty costumes, and lots of entertainingly tasteful bonking sequences, the fencing sequences in particular become tooth-pullingly tedious and the whole thing seems to drag, especially as it takes itself so seriously. --Leslie Felperin
