In City Life we explore the origins of our now familiar environment from the invention of concrete to city grid plans and monumental high-rise buildings. It is soon made clear that the ancient world was every bit as inventive as our own. The Surprising History of Sex & Love: Exploring the radical change in social and religious attitudes towards sex Terry Jones starts with the place of 'sacred sex' in the ancient world and ends with a frank look at modern sex and its contemporary relationship with marketing and prurience. Delving into the denied existence of female gods in early Christian religion and uncovering the origins of bodily shame this programme offers a map of how sex got from strict social repression to the full-frontal glossies of today. The Hidden History of Egypt: Terry Jones brings the everyday details of the ancients Egyptians - bizarre hilarious or shocking - to life in this wonderfully entertaining and factually revealing film. Uncovering hidden gems such as the peculiar hobby of building and decorating one's own tomb as an enjoyable pastime and disclosing unknown facts on the integral part played by the River Nile in ancient life Terry goes far beyond the conventional and brings to life the world of the ancient Egyptians through the more obscure eccentricities of their behaviour.

• The Nutty Professor | DVD | (29/02/2016) from £7.97   |  Saving you £7.02 (88.08%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Lucky for Eddie Murphy he got hold of the rights to this 1963 Jerry Lewis classic before Jim Carrey did. Murphy had a comeback of sorts with his Jeckyll-and-Hyde-derived fable of awkward chemistry professor Sherman Klump (Murphy), who discovers a potion that transforms him into the suave, cocky lady-killer Buddy Love (also Murphy). The big difference between the two versions is that Murphy's Sherman is not only a nerdy intellectual but is also grossly obese, which provides the opportunity for some hilarious digital transformation effects, as well as some gentle satire of our culture's attitudes toward fat people. As he did in the hit Coming to America, Murphy plays multiple roles, and the scenes at the Klump family dinner table, in which he plays everybody, are brilliantly funny. (Murphy won the National Society of Film Critics' award for best actor of 1996 for these performances.) Lewis based his Buddy Love on the 1960s ideal of cool exemplified by Sinatra and the Rat Pack; Murphy stumbles a bit by playing up the oily phoniness of his latter-day Love a little too soon, but for the most part The Nutty Professor represents a welcome return to form for Eddie Murphy. --Jim Emerson
