  Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), painter of real life, the earth, and material things, was so much a part of his era he lost himself in it. He paid for this dearly: wealthy and famous in this youth, he was later obliged to chum out paintings to avoid starvation. Directing a film on Courbet means finding what drove the painter to focus on realism. It means grasping the work, and exploring it in colour and substance. The Origin of the World: Long considerated obscene, The Ori...

Although she is tough, smart and perceptive, Timoney is confronted by more than just hostile suspects when she is transferred to the Manhattan South Task Force. Despite having the wary support of her boss Lieutenant Sweeney (Aidan Quinn - Legends of the Fall), the respect of her colleagues will be much harder to win. Determined to prove herself, Prime Suspect follows Timoney as she deals with the brutal realities of inner city crime, battles her team's misconceptions and balances her personal relationships with her ex-cop father and long-term boyfriend. Timoney's natural talent and never-say-die attitude may see her become a rising star in a job she loves but will it cost her more than she is prepared to sacrifice?

• Witness Events Of The 20th Century - Death Defying Feats | DVD | (08/11/1999) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £7.99

  Overall, one of the lighter episodes this, in the 13-part survey of 20th Century phenomena and endeavours, narrated by Sir David Frost. Many of the "feats" depicted here are more dignity-defying than death-defying, involving chaps walking across hot coals, people launching themselves into shallow water from bizarre, home-made contraptions and a Frenchman who spectacularly scaled a 36-storey Philadelphia skyscraper unaided by machinery, only to be arrested at the top. Once again, Sir David Frost's narrative is especially valuable for those who need absolutely everything explained to them: "The stuntman is an important man on a great many film sets", he intones, "but when things go wrong it can be deadly serious". The most spectacular footage here is that of a British man who ascended to 10,000 feet above the clouds using 450 helium balloons; the most quietly satisfying is that of Richard Branson's balloon landing in the drink with an ignominious plop; and the most luridly, shamefully compelling are the live shots of a plane crash at a 1997 German air show, which killed 10 people. Slapdash captions hardly enhance this production, including one informing us that the Victoria Falls are in Kenya. --David Stubbs
