Sugar Rush the riotous exploration of what it means to be young horny and queer in 21st-century Britain returns for a second series. It's 18 months on since we first met Kim and she's now 17 out proud and living life to the full on the Brighton lesbian scene... in her dreams. In truth she's holed up in her bedroom with only her A-Level revision and an electric toothbrush for company. Her best friend Sugar isn't getting any action either but she's got a good excuse: she's serving time in a Young Offenders Institute.
Classic horror starring Peter Cushing. A young teacher on her way to a position in Transylvania helps a young man escape the shackles his mother has put on him. In doing so she innocently unleashes the horrors of the undead once again on the populace including those at her school for ladies. Luckily for some Dr Van Helsing (Cushing) is already on his way.
Victoria Wood Live at the Albert Hall provides proof, if any were needed, that after two decades at the top of her profession, Wood is one of a small handful of British comedians of either sex capable of filling the country's largest venues. For the consistently high quality of her penetrating observations of the mundane she has no equal. Recorded in 2001, this performance has all the hallmarks of her microscopic examinations of life's perplexing minutiae and trivia. From her recent hysterectomy to Paul Daniels, from the NHS help line to wheelie bin covers, from Americans in Disneyworld to the ageism of catalogue mailing lists, nothing escapes Wood's attention. Not even in-vogue authors: she refuses to read "Captain Corelli's friggin' Mandolin" as it sits reproachfully at her bedside. Wood even provides her own interval act: a devastatingly accurate parody of a vulgar, second-rate cabaret singer shot to stardom on the wings of a cruise ship docu-soap. Jane McDonald's sense of humour will never face a harder test. More poignant are Wood's observations on parenthood and marriage, with all the physical ailments of middle age ("We've only got one fully operating leg between us"). She has since separated from her husband, the magician Geoffrey Durham. Fans will await the impact of that on her stand-up material with some interest. --Piers Ford

George Kitchener Bulman, late of Strangers and television s scruffiest, quirkiest detective, has retired from police work. Old habits die hard, however, and the plan to spend his days quietly mending clocks in his South London antiques-cum-junk shop goes out the window when he meets Lucy McGinty, a university drop-out with a passion for criminology who manages to coax old GBH out of retirement and into partnership in a new private detective agency. So out come the nasal inhaler, tatty string gloves and plastic carrier-bag briefcase and Bulman somewhat reluctantly returns to a world of organised crime, terrorism and international espionage. And this time, he's free of the police code... This set presents both series, starring Don Henderson as the classics-quoting detective and acclaimed actor Siobhan Redmond in her first drama-series role. With the majority of episodes scripted by Strangers stalwart Murray Smith, this cult series guest stars Alun Armstrong, Ingrid Pitt, George Sewell, Sheila Hancock, Jack Shepherd, Peter Wyngarde, Iain Cuthbertson and Robert Hardy among many others.

In his book, Robert C. O'Brien called his brave widow mouse "Mrs. Frisby", but Disney escapee animator Don Bluth must have thought children would laugh the wrong way at that. They renamed her "Mrs. Brisby" for The Secret of NIMH. That acronym stands for the National Institute of Mental Health, and the rats that live near Mrs. Brisby came from NIMH--they have strange ways. But they're the only ones who can save her house and her children, so Brisby seeks them out with the help of a humorous crow (Dom DeLuise). The magic gets laid on a little thick but this is Don Bluth's most successful attempt to achieve a complete, sincere, animated film. It's often forgotten, but it's a true surprise and a rare treat in the vast wasteland of insubstantial children's fare. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com
