• Jim Davidson - Uncovered And Uncensored | DVD | (11/11/2001) from £11.97   |  Saving you £8.02 (67.00%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Best known nowadays for his BBC game-show hosting duties, it's easy to forget Jim Davidson's stand-up comedy roots. Emerging from 70s TV talent show New Faces to become one of Britain's most beloved comedians, Davidson is still a charismatic and enduring example of old-school comedy, much of which has been overshadowed by alternative comedy and satire. In this live show from Great Yarmouth, the cheeky, chirpy, cockney comic gets the perfect arena to ply his saucy humour and showcase the kind of material that would undoubtedly be frowned upon in his usual light-entertainment arena. So, with any concerns about political correctness duly thrown aside, Davidson plies his earthy observations about life, devoting a lot of his performance to the ever-easy target of sex, but touching the odd area of topicality, such as Lord Archer's incarceration. Like so many of his ilk, Davidson is hardly a paragon of wit and sophistication, but the enjoyment of his blunt gags comes from a cheeky persona that is hard to dislike. If you've had your fill of sanitised comedy, hipper-than-thou irony and smug satire, then Davidson will see you right with his brand of nudge-and-wink humour. --Danny Graydon

• What's Up Tiger Lily? | DVD | (02/02/2004) from £28.71   |  Saving you £-25.72 (N/A%)   |  RRP £2.99

  We took a Japanese film made in Japan with Japanese actors and actresses and I took out all the soundtrack and knocked out all the voices and I wrote a comedy. The result is a movie where people are running around doing all these James Bondian things but what's coming out of their mouths is something wholly other. It was done before actually in Gone With the Wind but not many people know that. Those were Japanese people actually and we dubbed in American voices Southern voices. But that was years ago. - Woody Allen

• Giants And Toys | Blu Ray | (10/05/2021) from £16.39   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Giants and Toys is a sharp and snappy corporate satire revolving around the ruthless machinations of a group of admen working in the confectionary industry. As a new recruit to the marketing department of World Caramel, fresh-faced graduate Nishi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi) is eager to impress his ambitious and hard-nosed boss Goda (Black Test Car's Hideo Takamatsu), even if it strains his relationships with his college friend Yokoyama (Koichi Fujiyama) and budding love interest Masami (Michiko Ono), who work at the rival companies of Giant and Apollo. With World's lead over its competitors slipping badly, the two spot a chance to get back in the race in the shape of the pretty but unsophisticated 18-year-old, Kyoko (Hitomi Nozoe). Goda and Nishi get to work polishing this rough diamond as their new campaign girl, but as the three rival confectionary companies pitch themselves into an all-out advertising war that spills out onto the streets of Tokyo as it escalates to ludicrous extremes, Kyoko's newfound fame starts going to her head. Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut, this lurid adaptation of the award-winning 1957 novel by Ken Kaiko is considered a landmark in Japanese film history and a key work by Yasuzo Masumura (Blind Beast, Red Angel), one of the country's most highly acclaimed directors of his generation. Its absurdist and acidly cynical take on the excesses of the media and advertising worlds recalls the work of Frank Tashlin (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?), as it presents a garish vision of a bold new postwar Japan where traditional company values come head-to-head with American-style consumer capitalism.

• Ali G - Bling Bling | DVD | (26/11/2001) from £5.92   |  Saving you £14.07 (70.40%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Sacha Baron-Cohen's Ali G has become a hero to the very people he set out to satirise but, as Bling Bling demonstrates, this is no time to put this creation out to grass; as long as there's a Christmas every year, collections like this will keep appearing. Bling Bling is an assortment of Ali G's interviews; a couple of them with possibly the last people in Britain who didn't realise that someone was pulling their leg and several with American grandees of various sorts, including economist JK Galbraith and former CIA director Admiral Stansfield Turner. The real selling point, however, is Ali G's undeniably spectacular Comic Relief interview with David and Victoria Beckham, which, incidentally, presented the pair in a far more favourable light than any amount of avuncular fawning by Michael Parkinson. Bling Bling also includes quite a lot of Baron-Cohen's other alter-ego, hapless Kazakh! reporter Borat. Though Borat is a lazy and disappointing retreat to a time when British comedy was grounded in a belief that all foreigners are inherently hilarious--he's basically Manuel from "Fawlty Towers" with a microphone--he deserves kudos for the interview with an insufferable English undergraduate comedy troupe, in which he manages to get invited to slap two of them, and does so with the force they deserve. On the DVD: The scene selector or, rather, "Scene Selecta" is straightforward enough. The only "extras" are some more Ali G interviews, and a trailer for the forthcoming Ali G film. --Andrew Mueller
