• Gas Warfare of the First World War - 1914 - 1918 | DVD | (30/04/2012) from £2.39   |  Saving you £3.60 (60.10%)   |  RRP £5.99

  The Battle of Ypres in April 1915 saw the first use of a terrifying new weapon in the squalid trench warfare of the First World War - Poison Gas! Unleashed by the Germans, most of the Allied troops were totally unprepared for the choking green chlorine clouds; clouds that wafted into their trenches wreaking havoc and carnage to all those who breathed in the deadly toxic fumes. The first Gas Masks were simply a scarf covering the nose and mouth soaked in urine to counteract the deadly fumes! The Allies were quick to respond with many variants of poisonous gas and innovative new ways of delivering it from the simple gas cannister and gas shell to the Livens Projectors that could deliver multiple salvoes of this ghastly weapon. Gas Masks were quickly improved on both sides. Unique footage from The Imperial War Museum takes us through the evolution of the gas mask and all the detoxification procedures that the troops had to go through as explained in graphic detail by celebrated military expert Major Tonie Holt. Allied troops were alerted of pending gas attacks by the Strombos horn, the Rattle, Gong or Triangle. Dug-outs and trenches had to be cleared of gas. Horses, dogs and local children had to be protected and there is an as yet unseen visit to the Boots Factory in Nottingham to witness the manufacture of thousands upon thousands of gas masks destined for the battlefront. We see both British and French Tank warfare where the crews inside these hot, dark, noisy beasts were forced to wear gas masks as well. Finally, the Germans introduced an even more wicked concoction - Mustard Gas that could cause blisters on the skin the size of a tennis ball. Bonus Feature: Gas Warfare Into the Second World War - the story continues into the Second World War and explores the preparedness to meet the fear that Germany and Japan would use poison gasses on civilian populations to achieve their goal.

  The Islanders' War is an award-winning documentary that tells the story of the Falklands Conflict in 1982 through the eyes of the people who lived through it.Viewers are taken right into the heart of the action as Vulcan bomber pilots recall their seemingly impossible mission to bomb a Falkland airstrip. We hear from Simon Weston who recounts the moment that a 500lbs bomb tore through HMS Sir Galahad killing 48 Welsh Guards. Finally, the heroic deeds of the islanders themselves are brought into focus.They transmitted vital radio intelligence, took clandestine photographs of Argentine positions and carried ammunition, food and men to the front lines while often under shell and mortar fire. It is a story of bravery and defiance at great personal risk and their immense contributions to the British cause will never be forgotten.The second documentary in this 2-disc set examines how Argentina's leaders miscalculated Margaret Thatcher's resolve to retake the islands. It caused the downfall of General Leopoldo Galtieri and eventually led to the restoration of democracy in Argentina.

  Two in the Wave is the story of a friendship and estrangement. Jean-Luc Godard was born in 1930; Franois Truffaut two years later. Love of movies brings them together. They write in the same magazines Cahiers du Cinema and Arts. When the younger of the two becomes a filmmaker with The 400 Blows which triumphs in Cannes in 1959 he helps his older friend shift to directing offering him a screenplay which already has a title A bout de souffle or Breathless. Through the 1960s the two loyally support each other. History and politics separate them in 1968 and afterwards - when Godard plunges into radical politics but Truffaut continues his career as before. Between the two of them the actor Jean-Pierre Laud is torn like a child caught between two separated and warring parents. Their friendship and their break-up embody the story of French cinema. Exploring the letters personal archives and films of the two New Wave directors Two in the Wave takes us back to a prodigious decade that transformed the world of cinema.

• Jamie Oliver - The Naked Chef | DVD | (06/11/2000) from £11.99   |  Saving you £4.00 (33.36%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Unless you've had your head in a plate of pie and mash for the last few years you'll know that The Naked Chef is the UK's youngest culinary talent, Jamie Oliver, and that the "naked" refers to his style of cooking--fresh, simple, stripped back to basics--not his dress sense. The tone is set for the series from the very first episode with roast leg of lamb flavoured with garlic, rosemary, and pancetta and baked fresh fruits (figs, peaches, cherries) with mascarpone and vanilla sugar. It's all ever so slightly and deliciously left of a very classic centre. His basic recipe for homemade pasta is so undauntingly straightforward, it almost certainly did for pasta-makers what Delia did for coriander when she first used it. If his young nieces can handle ravioli with broad bean, mint and fresh ricotta or his mouth-watering variation with potato, watercress and orgonzola, then we all can. Equally simple but inspiring are his fish dishes: baked salmon fillets with French beans, roasted cherry tomatoes, olives, anchovies and a basil aioli; whole steamed sea bass slashed and stuffed with fresh herbs, red peppers and onions; or his Asian-inspired herb-infused broth over steamed king prawns, scallops and clams with sliced ginger root, garlic and chilies. It remains to be seen whether Jamie Oliver turns out to be the Delia Smith for the lad and ladette generation, but British supermarkets seem infinitely better since he's had his way with purple basil, fennel and baby new potatoes on national television. --Tricia Tuttle

• British Railway Journeys: West | DVD | (10/10/2011) from £4.74   |  Saving you £8.25 (174.05%)   |  RRP £12.99

  On this magnificent train journey there is plenty to see, with mighty mountains, shimmering lochs and miles of majestic coastline. We start our journey in Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow and a visit to the Museum of transport where all the major Scottish railway companies are represented. From Glasgow our journey takes us north into the Highlands and we go through a number of small stations before we reach Crainlarich where the line divides, one going to Oban and the other to Fort William and Mallaig. We continue our journey through the glens and across desolate Rannoch Moor to Ronnoch Station. From here the line climbs to its summit at 1350ft before it starts its descent to Spean Bridge and finally Fort William. At Fort William we have a stop and visit the town, the diesel and electric loco depot and Inverlochy Castle. Leaving Fort William we head to Mallaig via Corpach on the Caledonian Canal and Glenfinnan with its monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie and spectacular arched railway viaduct. The line now runs down past peat moors to the Atlantic and the terminus at Mallaig. From here we return to Fort William to explore the line to Oban, the gateway to the islands.
