• Liverpool Vs Leeds - 1965 F.A. Cup Final | DVD | (26/04/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  The 1965 FA Cup Final took place on 1 May 1965 at Wembley Stadium between Liverpool who had won the First Division the previous season but never the FA Cup and Leeds United who had won the Second Division Championship and been promoted the previous season however Leeds finished 2nd in the league in 1964-65 and Liverpool finished 7th. This engrossing tactical battle between two defence-minded teams was tough and uncompromising - a cynical and deliberate body check by Collins on Byrne fractured his collar bone in the 3rd minute. Byrne told Paisley but no one else and played on for a further 2 hours! Defensively Leeds were excellent but there was a lack of invention in their attack. The Collins-Bremner midfield machine for once failed to function their passes down the middle invariably mastered by Yeats and Smith. Liverpool on the other hand were always forcing their way forward with St. John and Hunt showing tremendous bursts of energy in particular. Every raid looked full of danger but Leeds survived. The game ran to extra time - the first Final to do so since 1947 and the additional period was played out in an atmosphere of great tension and drama before Liverpool were victorious and opened the floodgates to a stockpile of trophies under Shankly and Paisley.

• Carry On Don't Lose Your Head | DVD | (27/08/2001) from £6.66   |  Saving you £3.33 (50.00%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Carry On Don't Lose Your Head parodies the adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel, with crinkly, cackling Sid James as master of disguise the Black Fingernail and Jim Dale as his assistant Lord Darcy. He must rescue preposterously effete aristo Charles Hawtrey from the clutches of Kenneth Williams' fiendish Citizen Camembert and his sidekick Citizen Bidet (Peter Butterworth). The Black Fingernail is assisted in his efforts to thwart the birth of the burgeoning republic by the almost supernatural stupidity of his opponents, who fail to recognise the frankly undisguisable Sid James even when dressed as a flirty young woman. What with an executioner who is tricked into beheading himself in order to prove the efficacy of his own guillotine, it's all a little too easy. As usual, no groan-worthy pun is left unturned, nor unheralded by the soundtrack strains of a long whistle or wah-wah trumpet. This is pretty silly stuff even by Carry On standards, with most of the cast barely required to come out of first gear and an overlong climactic swordfight sequence hardly raising the dramatic stakes. Most of the humour here resides neither in the script nor the characterisation but in the endlessly watchable Williams' whooping, nasal delivery (occasionally lapsing into broad Cockney) and the jowl movements of the always-underrated Butterworth. On the DVD: There are no extra features except scene selection. The picture is 4:3 full screen ratio.--David Stubbs
