  Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI on 19th April 2005 becoming only the second non-Italian to be made Pope since 1522.

Featuring previously unseen material of Pope Benedict and his College of Cardinals in the Vatican and St Peter's this unique memento will delight all who wish to discover the new Pope's desire for truth and Christianity in the modern world. Pope Benedict XVI was born Joseph Alois Ratzinger in 1927 and grew up under a harsh Nazi regime that was hostile towards the Catholic Church.

He received his priestly ordination on the 29th June 1951 and was named Archbishop of Munich and Freising in 1977 by Pope Paul VI. After many years of working with the College of Cardinals and researching theology Cardinal Ratzinger took the first step on his long journey to let 'heart speak unto heart' by being elected Pope Benedict XVI.

• Grateful Dawg | DVD | (09/06/2003) from £6.73   |  Saving you £13.26 (66.30%)   |  RRP £19.99

  At its best, Grateful Dawg celebrates the easy friendship and truly inspired musicianship of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman through grainy home-movie footage with surprisingly crisp sound. Garcia was famous as the visionary behind the Grateful Dead, but his musical tastes were broad and he found a rewarding partnership with mandolinist Grisman, whose distinctive "Dawg" style fused jazz with bluegrass. As one of the film's commentators says, Grisman made Garcia tighter as a musician, while Garcia made Grisman looser, and where they met they created an infectious, rootsy style they called Grateful Dawg. The film's many highlights include instrumental versions of "Dawg Waltz", "Shady Grove" and "Arabia", as well as splendid footage from Garcia and Grisman's days in Old & In The Way. The talking heads inserted ham-fistedly between and over performances become repetitious and finally downright annoying. But Garcia and Grisman fans will still enjoy the glimpse of a rare musical alchemy. --Anne Hurley
