"Director: Don Young"

• Hammer House of Horror | DVD | (23/10/2017) from £25.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Though Hammer Films ceased theatrical production in the mid-1970s, the TV series Hammer House of Horror afforded the studio a last hurrah in 1980. Though it uses original scripts rather than adaptations of published stories, the series feels like an update of Hammer's earlier Journey to the Unknown, with a mix of contemporary settings, predictable twist endings, mock-gruesome horror, mild sex, familiar TV faces and sly camp that puts it on the shelf somewhere between Nigel Kneale's Beasts and Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. The shows are variously directed by Hammer regulars Don Sharp (Kiss of the Vampire), Peter Sasdy (Countess Dracula), Robert Young (Vampire Circus) and Alan Gibson (Dracula AD 1972). --Kim Newman Volume One Episodes: "The House That Bled to Death; "The Silent Scream"; "Two Faces of Evil". A box set is also available.

• Bomber Boys - The Fighting Lancaster | DVD | (02/08/2010) from £4.98   |  Saving you £8.01 (160.84%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Joe English learned to fly a Lancaster bomber before he could drive a car. During World War Two RAF Bomber Command called upon young men barely out of their teens to fly some of the most dangerous missions of the entire war. In 1943 the life expectancy of an air gunner was just three minutes in combat. For every 100 Bomber Command aircrew only 24 would survive their tour... Now Joe English is reunited with the five other surviving aircrew from RAF 625 Squadron Lancaster 'The Lucky H' to tell their stories for the very first time. Joined by other surviving Bomber Command veterans they provide a powerful and moving insight into life - and death - as one of the 'Bomber Boys'. At the same time seven grandsons of bomber veterans experience life first hand in a recreation of a wartime British Commonwealth Air Training Plant providing them with a new understanding of what their grandfathers endured - and the sacrifices they made. The veterans and their grandchildren are then reunited for an unforgettable flight in one of only two surviving airworthy Lancasters before setting out together to visit the graves of wartime comrades in Europe. Making full use of rare and personal archive materials Bomber Boys is one of the finest tributes to the men of wartime RAF Bomber Command ever produced for television. All four full-length episodes are included.

• Devil's Brigade | DVD | (02/02/2011) from £3.19   |  Saving you £6.80 (213.17%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The Germans they fought called them The Black Devils... The men of the 1st Special Service Force were the world's first special forces. Formed in America in the spring of 1942 these elite regiments were designed to fight behind enemy lines. The men were trained to overcome any obstacle survive in any situation - and to be utterly ruthless killers with weapons or bare hands. Devils's Brigade charts the operational history of this battle-hardened special force from 1942 to its disbandment in 1944 from the Aleutians to the Italian Campaign featuring rare archive film some of which is in colour. Veterans of the force - many speaking for the very first time - provide vivid first hand accounts of combat. At the same time fifteen soldiers of today - many of them veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan - volunteer to undergo the training given to 1st Special Service Force soldiers in 1942. They train to use WWII German weapons plan ambushes and learn the art of 'fighting dirty' and close in knife work under the tutelage of instructor Bill Wolfe. If they prove tough enough if they can stay the course they will then have to relive the Devil's Brigade's finest moment - a night assault on Mount Difensa in Italy. To launch the assault they will have to scale a 3 000 ft cliff - at night... All four parts of this major documentary series are included on this DVD which offers an unrivalled insight into the world's first special forces as well as a moving tribute to the truly extraordinary men who fought and died with the 'Devil's Brigade'...
