The principal with the Improve Your Coarse Fishing series is to do what the magazine does - concentrating on UK pleasure fishing on the kind of waters anyone can fish and techniques that anyone can use with a bit of application. In presenter Kev Green's words: The series is all about helping people catch more fish and bigger fish on venues they can identify with. We are targeting many different species in many differ ways. We cover carp but the series is by no means all about carp fishing. It's about enjoying the pleasure fishing that the UK has to offer and learning things that will improve your own fishing. Fishing for bream (Bluebell Lakes Northamptonshire) tench and perch (River Nene) are covered as Kevin who is editor of Improve Your Coarse Fishing magazine goes fishing with Angling Times' editor Richard Lee. Don't miss Kevin's visit to Docklow Pools in Herefordshire to show the quality of silver fish sport available on the country's commercial fisheries as he puts his pole to good use to for a superb bag of roach. A brilliant episode sees Kevin joining carp man Steve Broad in a head-to-head at a typical commercial carp pool with Steve using Method tactics for big carp and Kevin giving a masterclass in the use of market floats and spods to target carp in numbers. It's not all about stillwaters though with Kevin 'hooking up' with Bob Robberts for some real Mr. Crabtree style fishing stalking chub and barbel on a picture postcard tributary of the River Trent and there's some amazing underwater footage of barbel and chub feeding to enjoy. Also look out for Kevin teaming up with former Wasps rugby player Jonathan Watt at Hartleylands Farm in Kent. Jonathan shows how to fish (paste) on the bottom for carp with Kevin enjoying plenty of action up in the water with a splasher waggler and big pellet waggler. And Kevin's back with the nation's favourite fish when he visits Lemington Lakes in the Cotswold to target big tench in the margins .........and he bags a personal best on the pole for good measure!
Are humans meant to mate for life - What drives someone in a perfectly good relationship to cheat and risk losing the one that they love and that loves them - Is it possible to love more than one person at the same time - How well does anyone really know the one that they love. Directed by Mike Nichols (THE GRADUATE, BIRDCAGE, WORKING GIRL), CLOSER questions the nature of relationships and fidelity as it follows the tangled web created by Dan (Jude Law), Alice (Natalie Portman), Anna (Julia Roberts), and Larry (Clive Owen). Dan, a British writer of obituaries, and Alice, a young American stripper, meet in the film's opening scene when a London cab runs her down. Cut to a year later: Dan and Alice are now a couple, but he is suddenly smitten with Anna, a beautiful American photographer. In an ironic twist of fate, Anna meets Larry, a British doctor, and they are soon a couple, despite Dan's continuing obsession. But the entanglements don't end there, and ultimately, someone is sure to get hurt. The four players do justice to a script that is humorous, raw and disarmingly honest about adult relationships.

Put together by Jon Anderson who wanted to get back to the musical ideals made popular by 'Yes' during the bands massively successful albums of the early to mid seventies the band recorded one self titled album released in 1989 and then embarked on an extensive and hugely successful worldwide tour. This performance was captured on the American leg of the world tour and finds the band performing not only material from the self titled album but also classic material from 'Yes' including Starship Trooper Close To The Edge and also And You And I. The tour was not however without its problems and bassist on the tour Tony Levin was unfortunately taken ill and had to drop out at the last minute to be admitted to hospital. This left the band in dire straits as the tour was put in jeopardy and the band had also scheduled the filming of this particular performance. Enter bassist Jeff Berlin who had curiously enough like Tony Levin played with Bill Bruford. With only a short period of rehearsal Jeff threw himself into the gap vacated by the departed Tony Levin. Jeff's performance was incredible as was the rest of the band and captured on film for posterity. The film was previously briefly available on VHS before being deleted.
