The War You Don't See traces the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan.

Molly Dineen is one of Britain's most acclaimed contemporary documentary filmmakers, and recipient of numerous accolades, including BAFTA, Grierson and RTS awards for documentary. This is the final installment of three volumes that bring all of her films to DVD. Geri (1999) follows 'Ginger Spice' Geri Halliwell, the most outrageous Spice Girl, who has dramatically left the band. Dineen joins her as she seeks solace with family and friends, dodges the paparazzi, and embarks on her new career. In the wake of New Labour's abolition of hereditary peers, The Lords' Tale (2002) sees Dineen observe the mirth, bitterness and quiet sadness along the paneled corridors of the House of Lords as 700 peers are forced to depart. In The Lie of the Land (2007) Dineen uncovers the unpleasant truths of life in the British countryside where agriculture is slowly dying under the forces of legislation, development and disease.

Between heroic spells as the Saint and James Bond, Roger Moore was teamed with Tony Curtis in The Persuaders, a derivative but fun series about a couple of millionaire dilettante adventurers who swan around the world competing for the attention of beautiful women and getting involved in perplexing mysteries. Moore is Lord Brett Sinclair, an upper crust Brit of impeccable breeding, while Curtis is Danny Wilde, an up-from-the-streets self-made man whose trademark is a pair of brown gloves. The allegedly tasteful Brett and the crasser Danny both model a succession of garish early 70s fashions while their pursuits of duplicitous crumpet usually wind up with the women getting away and the heroes stuck with each other. Given all that, this may well be the most blatantly homoerotic of all the buddy television pairings (see the eponymous stars of Starsky and Hutch, Regan and Carter in The Sweeney, Bodie and Doyle of The Professionals) that ran ove! r the screen in the 70s, in which the male leads sublimated their feelings for each other by pulling out their guns and shooting at baddies. --Kim Newman
