• Enid Blyton's The Famous Five - Five On Treasure Island | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £15.15   |  Saving you £2.84 (18.75%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Five on a Treasure Island (1957) adapted from Enid Blyton's perennially popular first Famous Five novel is a ripping adventure tale for kids and adults alike presented in eight exciting installments. Close to the spirit of the book this Children's Film Foundation serial is full of adventure mystery and lashings of ginger ale. The author herself helped to cast the film which follows the celebrated gang as they investigate strange goings-on at Kirrin Castle. Will the intrepid Five manage to foil dastardly antique shop owner Luke Undown's desperate attempt to steal Kirrin's treasure from under Uncle Quentin's nose? With enthusiastic and memorable performances from the well cast young actors this is a delightful serial which no Famous Five fan will want to be without.

• Down Among The Z Men | DVD | (24/06/2002) from £7.29   |  Saving you £8.70 (119.34%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Although they made their name in the medium of radio, the legendary Goons also made brief forays into the world of television and, with Down Among the Z Men, film. It captures the team at a very early stage in their career, with Michael Bentine still in the fold, and with their unique, anarchic brand of humour still in its infancy. Sadly, the style and feel of the film does little to suit their comedy style. While radio offered an opportunity for their imaginations to run riot, here the four find themselves tied to a few stock characters, most of whom would make a more animated appearances later in their career. The plot--with its tale of eccentric professors and evil spies--sees a series of musical numbers and a variety performance crow barred into the proceedings. Those who wish to add to an already existing Goons collection may want to consider this, but anyone wondering what all the fuss is about should head straight for the many radio collections available and hear the sound of true genius at work. On The DVD: Down Among the Z Men offers little to recommend, with the DVD lacking in any extras whatsoever. Being taken from an original fifties print, the black and white picture is of reasonable quality yet cannot help but look extremely dated. At best it is the sort of curio that would pass time on a Sunday afternoon but it is hard to consider this a particularly essential DVD release. –-Phil Udell

• Saturday Night And Sunday Morning | DVD | (14/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  A key film of the British New Wave 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' was a great box-office success - audiences were thrilled by its anti-establishment energy the gritty realism of its setting and most of all by a working-class hero of a fresh and outspoken kind. Based on Alan Sillitoe's largely autobiographical novel the film is set in the grim industrial streets and factories of Nottingham where Arthur Seaton spends his days at a factory bench his Saturday evenings in the local pubs and his Saturday nights with Brenda (Rachel Roberts) wife of a fellow factory worker. Played by Albert Finney with an irresistable animal vitality Arthur is anti-authority (Don't let the bastards grind you down) and unashamedly amoral (What I'm out for is a good time. All the rest is propoganda). With powerful central performances cracking dialogue by Sillitoe and a superb jazz score by Johnny Dankworth 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' still stands as a vibrant modern classic.
