Witness Events Of The 20th Century - Sex And Political Scandals | DVD | (08/11/1999)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP The prurient will be disappointed to learn that there's rather more politics than sex in this video, part of a themed series based on TV archive footage devoted to various aspects of 20th-century history. Amusingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, a large proportion of the perpetrators named and shamed here turn out to be American presidents, with Watergate, Irangate, Billygate and Lewinskygate all lovingly preserved for posterity, and the complex history of the Kennedy dynasty reiterated in detail. Further afield, with the likes of Winnie Mandela and Papandreaou, the emphasis is on how some "scandals" are paid for with other people's lives, not just with a loss of credibility. The concept scores highly, simply because the very nature of TV news coverage means that the stories behind events such as these are of course first presented bit-by-bit as they unfold, whereas the chronological gathering-together of the material, as here, ensures that the events can be re-reported in continuous detail. This is one of the best titles in the series. --Roger Thomas

Witness Events Of The 20th Century - Death Defying Feats | DVD | (08/11/1999)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP Overall, one of the lighter episodes this, in the 13-part survey of 20th Century phenomena and endeavours, narrated by Sir David Frost. Many of the "feats" depicted here are more dignity-defying than death-defying, involving chaps walking across hot coals, people launching themselves into shallow water from bizarre, home-made contraptions and a Frenchman who spectacularly scaled a 36-storey Philadelphia skyscraper unaided by machinery, only to be arrested at the top. Once again, Sir David Frost's narrative is especially valuable for those who need absolutely everything explained to them: "The stuntman is an important man on a great many film sets", he intones, "but when things go wrong it can be deadly serious". The most spectacular footage here is that of a British man who ascended to 10,000 feet above the clouds using 450 helium balloons; the most quietly satisfying is that of Richard Branson's balloon landing in the drink with an ignominious plop; and the most luridly, shamefully compelling are the live shots of a plane crash at a 1997 German air show, which killed 10 people. Slapdash captions hardly enhance this production, including one informing us that the Victoria Falls are in Kenya. --David Stubbs
