  They are the power-hungry men who maintained an iron-clad grip over the respective nations they ruled. Under their leadership thousands of innocent civilians lost their lives as a result of their murderous regimes. These are the world’s most notorious Tyrants and Dictators. The 20th century witnessed the tyranny of a collection of men who ruled over people living in a constant state of fear and terror. From Manuel Noriega, Panama's strongman and dictator for nearly a decade, who dangled the power of life and death over his fellow countrymen – a power which he wielded freely, torturing and murdering anyone that stood in his way – to Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's Communist dictator for 24 years, who turned from loved and respected leader to hated and despised despot,'Biography Channel' portrays the tyrants who showed a scant disregard for human life. Also included in this six-disc set are profiles of Pol Pot, the leader of the terrifying Khmer Rouge, who was implicated as the sole perpetrator of the genocide of thousands of Cambodians; the Ayatollah Khomeini, who introduced the world to a new kind of radical religious warrior; Slobodan Milosevic, the dictator whose seemingly unstoppable ethnic cleansing of the Yugoslav province of Kosovo forcibly ejected hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Albanian Kosovars from their homes; and Saddam Hussein, who ruled Iraq with an iron fist, crushing any hint of dissent. His soldiers carried out tortures in his name, videotaping them so they could be shown as warnings to others who might get out of line. Between them, they were responsible for countless atrocities and deaths. Join 'Biography Channel' for a series of programmes examining the story of the world’s most infamous 'Tyrants and Dictators'

• Jamie Oliver - The Naked Chef - Vol. 2 | DVD | (01/10/2001) from £8.10   |  Saving you £7.89 (97.41%)   |  RRP £15.99

  It's hard to keep up with Jamie Oliver (aka The Naked Chef) these days--a restaurant here and there; a line of herbs at the supermarket; a pop CD from his television show; new books willy-nilly. With this ubiquity one could be forgiven for forgetting exactly why the nation fell gobsmackingly in love with him in the first place. One look at this video should remind you just why your Nan and Mum were swooning, and why he's everyone's favourite cheeky chappy. Recipes such as Thai Seared Carpaccio, Tray Baked Pork Chops with Thyme and Roasted Pears, Preserved Slow-cooked Baby Bell Chillies Stuffed with Anchovies and Capers, may sound difficult, but he has a knack for making all of these seem manageable for even the most reticent cook. Following on from the first series of the show, tedious measuring and weighing take a back seat to tasting and trusting your instincts. You'll be whacking out the ole' Slashed Fillet of Sea Bass Baked with Wild Mushrooms and Potatoes in no time. It's a cooking style that encourages pleasure in making tasty food for good friends. As he says "it's just about gettin' your mates around and gettin' the boys and girls fed". Simple. Food in each of the eight episodes is created for most imaginable dinner party situations--Baked Custard Tarts to take to the Walthamstow dogs; Mediterranean Roasted Chicken in Homemade Chickpea Flat Bread for a family trip to the Southend fun fair; a mouthwatering post-clubbing fry-up for a group of his girlfriend's mates. Pukka tukka--nuff said, mate. --Tricia Tuttle
