It unravels the larger than life myth he so deliberately crafted, and examines the endurance of his values which continue to shape the culture of Silicon Valley to this day. he kids find themselves in the centre of a deadly game of cat and mouse they don’t understand and the only way out is to go as fast as their cop car can take them.

  Here's a documentary which needs absolutely no introduction. Why is America so fat? This is the question that Morgan Spurlock wanted to answer. He set out to interview experts in 20 U.S. cities including Houston - the Fattest City in America - whilst at the same time conducting his own personal experiment... To eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days straight. There were 4 rules 1- No options. He could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!) 2- No 'supersizing' unless offered 3- No excuses. He had to eat every item on the menu at least once 4- No giving up. He had to eat three square meals a day - breakfast lunch and dinner. The results shocked even the doctors who were monitoring his experiment. The winner of a host of international awards this unmissable documentary has really got the world talking and the junk food peddlers running scared.

They find fame on the world stage in the 1990s with anthems including 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000'. 25 years (and 10 million album sales) later they return to Sheffield for their last UK concert: what could go wrong? Giving a career best performance exclusive to the film the band share their thoughts on fame love mortality - and car maintenance. Director Florian Habicht (Love Story) weaves together the band's personal offerings with dream-like specially-staged tableaux featuring ordinary people recruited on the streets of Sheffield. Unveiling the deep affection that the inhabitants of Sheffield have for Pulp and the formative effect the town has had on the band's music (and front-man Jarvis Cocker's lyrics in particular) Pulp is a music-film like no other - by turns funny moving life-affirming and (occasionally) bewildering.

• The Country House Revealed | DVD | (20/06/2011) from £14.98   |  Saving you £5.01 (33.44%)   |  RRP £19.99

  From the Tudor ebullience of South Wraxall Manor to the rigour of Kinross in Scotland; the beauty of Hawksmoor's Easton Neston to the palatial Georgian sweep of Wentworth Woodhouse; the Victorian exuberance of Clandeboye to the Edwardian ingenuity at Marsh Court, the properties exemplify the changing architecture and fortunes of the nation itself.All are still lived in as family homes. But their owners have agreed to go beyond a few carefully selected highlights, and open the entirety of their homes to Dan Cruickshank. Dan has the run of each estate, roaming the corridors, poking into attics and rummaging in cellars. No hat-box or trunk is unturned as Dan teases out each home's story - who built them, the generations who lived in them, and the families who lost them.Along the way he has uncovered tales of excess and profligacy, tragedy, comedy, power and ambition. And as these intriguing narratives take shape, Dan shows how the story of each house is indissoluble from the social and economic history of Britain. Each one is built as a wave of economic development crests, or crumbles. Each one's architecture and design is therefore expressive of the aims, strengths and frailties of those who built them, and together they plot the psychological, economic and social route map of our country's ruling class in this rich new telling of our island story.

• Life After People (3-Disc Box Set) | DVD | (17/01/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The very notion is deliciously ghoulish: What happens to earth if--or when--people suddenly vanished? The History Channel presents a dramatic, fascinating what-if scenario, part science fiction and part true natural science. "Welcome to Earth, Population: 0" is the catchy tagline, Life After People's is so gripping you nearly forget while you watch that you, yourself, will be gone too. It turns out that Earth can go along very nicely without us. The hardest part of the special is probably in the first 15 minutes, when pet owners confront what likely will happen to their dogs (thankfully, the show follows those dogs who break out of their houses, and the prognosis for them to survive as scavengers is good). As the fictional days and weeks tick by, the process of nature's reclaiming the planet becomes less grim and more fascinating. The impact of the lack of people will be noticed right away, as most power grids shut down around the planet. The one holdout: Hoover Dam, whose hydro power lights up the American Southwest. Scientists say the dam can continue to operate on its own for months, maybe years, keeping the Vegas Strip alight. Only the eventual accumulation of quagga mussels, an invasive species, in the cooling pipes of the power plant--currently being cleaned by humans--will shut down the dam. Elsewhere, critters and plants will have their run of Manhattan and every other previously "civilized" spot. Inventive photography shows bears clambering out of subway stations, and vines pulling down brownstones, then skyscrapers. It may not be a surprise when the Eiffel Tower and Space Needle meet their eventual fates, but the scenes nonetheless provide a pleasant sting of shock. Life After People is humbling, yet exhilarating. -- A.T. Hurley

• The Hidden Ashes | DVD | (15/05/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  When Sunset+Vine produced the historic 2005 England vs Australia Ashes series for Channel 4 they recorded every ball from ten different angles. There were literally ten versions of every four every six and every wicket only a handful of which were seen on the Live Channel 4 transmission mostly as slow-motion replays. There were also many images recorded that were never seen at all on C4. Now Sunset+Vine have reviewed more than 150 hours of footage from the ten cameras and have put together the story of the series from the very best of these pictures. The result is the most dramatic look yet at those five extraordinary cricket matches. Re-live in giant close-up the joy and despair of the players as the series takes its many twists and turns; sit in the stand with the fans at Old Trafford as England come up agonisingly short in the Third Test; see the utter bemusement of the England players as Ricky Ponting explodes at Trent Bridge after being superbly run out by substitute fielder Gary Pratt; wince as Kevin Pietersen is hit by a 93-mph bullet from Brett Lee at The Oval; feel the genuine warmth that emerges between the teams as this fabulous series unfolds. How long did it actually take Freddie Flintoff to peel away from the England celebrations at Edgbaston and go and console Brett Lee - the single defining image of the summer? Where does Shane Warne keep his Trebor mints when he's fielding at slip? Which England player does Michael Clarke share his chewing gum with? It's all in Hidden Ashes the most vivid television account yet of the greatest cricket series ever played!

• Baby Mozart - Music Festival | DVD | (28/04/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £11.99

  Baby Mozart is from the award-winning infant-developmental media company Baby Einstein, whose goal and philosophy is the satisfaction of a child's curiosity through sight and sound. In the main Theatre section of this disc you'll find lots of simple shapes, primary colours and favourite toys passing across the screen. Unlike the simpler earlier releases, this is focused on the works of Mozart, and so just like the Bach and Beethoven releases all the images are choreographed around the chosen pieces of music. This release was named Video of the Year by Child and Parent magazine and is a wonderful expansion of the company's original ideas. It's a slight advancement in expectation of your child from the more basic initial releases but has a Video Tutorial to help the parent understand how it all works. On the DVD: Baby Mozart is the name of the feature itself, but from the Main Menu you can enter a Concert Hall to replay the musical cues from the main show. Split into three sections (Little Ears, Playtime or Bedtime) you can mix and match from the main feature playlist (for example: Magic Flute, Concerto for Flute and Harp in C and movements from Piano Sonatas in C and D). There's also a Resources section with the aforementioned Video Tutorial and a Toy Chest crediting all the toys used, just in case a certain someone wants one of their own. --Paul Tonks
