Chief - Series 1 - Complete
Tim Pigott-Smith (The Vice) stars as John Stafford, a newly promoted Chief Constable, in this police procedural drama series with a difference. The Chief shows a police force undergoing a culture change, as the outspoken and deeply committed Stafford attempts to reform crime-prevention policies and challenge the frequently unacceptable behaviour of his front-line officers. There are always difficult decisions to be made, and often at a professional and personal cost. The cast of this powerful drama series, originally transmitted in 1990, also includes Judy Loe (Ace of Wands) as Stafford’s doctor wife, Elizabeth, and Eastenders stars Tony Caunter and Ross Kemp.Having appointed Anne Stewart (Karen Archer - Chancer) as his deputy, Chief Constable John Stafford promotes his highly capable colleague to the rank of Head of Crime and Operations at Eastland, East Anglia. The promotion proves deeply unpopular, and, when Anne encounters rampant workplace misogyny, exposes some of the more unpleasant institutional attitudes among the ranks. While Anne faces a wall of prejudice as well as the personal difficulties arising from her son’s drug addiction, Stafford’s strategies for tackling the ever-mounting challenges of modern policing - be they the consequences of an increasingly violent drugs subculture, militant student actions or vigilante gangs - frequently bring him into conflict with his superiors. His high-level adversaries include the Home Office - whose staff watch his actions with interest, and more than a little concern… -
Frost On Saturday
The lighter side of Frost! One of the trio of Frost programmes that dominated ITV weekends in the late 1960s and early ’70s, Frost on Saturday concentrated mainly on topical interviews with entertainers and public figures. Made at a time when David Frost was working in the US and then jetting back to the UK to do three shows over the weekend, Frost on Saturday concentrates his energy into a forty minute mix of humorous interviews, debates and musical interludes with the likes of John and Yoko, The Rolling Stones (playing ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ in a barnstorming performance), Edna Everage (back when she was a mere Mrs. and not a Dame!), George Best (who plays football with Frost in the studio), Frankie Howerd, Dusty Springfield, Sir John Betjeman and more. A number of editions of Frost on Saturday no longer exist - this set includes the seven surviving shows, including a special programme from November 1969 to celebrate the history of broadcasting on the first official night of colour transmissions on ITV. -
Soi Cowboy
Zavvi - La casa della cultura popA Bangkok, un corpulento uomo europeo e una giovane donna thailandese incinta vivono insieme in quasi silenzio. Il suo grande corpo è in contrasto con la sua piccola struttura. Lui le fa dei regali - lei ha una crescente collezione di animali di peluche - e prende pillole di Viagra. Lei cerca sicurezza, e lui è il modo migliore per lei di stare fuori da Soi Cowboy, il quartiere a luci rosse dove si sono conosciuti. Le piace, ma andare a letto con lui è un dovere. Nel frattempo, in campagna, un adolescente mafioso viene assunto per consegnare la testa del fratello maggiore...In Soi Cowboy, l'intenzione dichiarata del giovane regista britannico Thomas Clay è di esplorare la natura relativa della moralità sessuale e l'impatto del capitalismo globale, rappresentato nella relazione ineguale, anche se reciprocamente vantaggiosa, tra Tobias e Koi, e la storia violenta del fratello di Koi, Cha. Il film combina una cinematografia inventiva e stili registici mutevoli per entrare nelle vite dei suoi personaggi sia con intimità ossessionante che con chiarezza documentaria. -

Hillsborough
Christopher Eccleston and Ricky Tomlinson head a strong cast in Jimmy McGovern’s emotionally powerful and highly acclaimed dramatisation of personal grief and public issues in the wake of the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster. Following the stories of three victims’ families, from the initial excitement of match day to the legal battles that followed the tragedy, Hillsborough presents a raw, honest portrayal of the campaign for truth within a culture of closed ranks and cover-ups. The drama also seeks to dismanle damaging myths regarding fans’ conduct, perpetuated by sections of the popular press and seen by McGovern and others as symptomatic of an ongoing vilifi cation of the working class within the British media; the impact of Hillsborough has been considered an important factor in the setting up of a new official inquiry into the disaster. -
In Character: Richard Bradford
Zavvi - La casa della cultura popRichard Bradford ha trovato un grande successo di critica per il suo ritratto sensibile e realistico di McGill, lo screditato ex agente della CIA ridotto a lavorare su commissione come investigatore privato. Perfezionista e attore di metodo, entrò presto in conflitto con alcuni della troupe e con i suoi colleghi attori, guadagnandosi la reputazione di essere scomodo per lavorare. Intervistato nell'estate del 2004, ha parlato candidamente del suo periodo di lavoro su Man in a Suitcase e dei problemi che ha incontrato mentre cercava di realizzare quella che, per alcuni, è la migliore serie d'azione/avventura della ITC. -

World in Action - Volume 2
World in Action was, undoubtedly, ITV’s flagship current affairs programme. Lasting four decades (from the ‘60s to the ‘90s) this multiple BAFTA winning show was fearless, trailblazing and hard-hitting, choosing controversial subjects that other programmes would not dare to touch, often getting into trouble with the ITV regulators and – at times – the Government. -

The Comedians - Series 7
The quintessential quickfire stand-up comedy show, The Comedians is one of the great successes of ITV - lasting from 1971 until 1993 and making household names of many of its stars. With routines that were honed to perfection in the hard-knock territory of Northern working men's clubs, Bernard Manning, Frank Carson, George Roper, Duggie Brown and Colin Crompton all became masters of the excruciatingly bad joke and the knowing wink. -
Surgical Spirit - Series 4 - Complete

Her dedication and determination to succeed in a male-dominated world make her a force to be reckoned with, and her colleagues at the Gillies Hospital have learned the hard way not to mess with her! Sheila’s intimidating manner may hide a soft centre, but only those who dare to get close enough discover that; they include Deputy Unit Manager and best friend, Joyce, and anaesthetist Jonathan Haslam, a man brave enough to pursue a romantic relationship with the spiky Mrs. Sabatini… Nichola McAuliffe gives a memorable performance as Sabatini, with Duncan Preston starring alongside her as Jonathan Haslam. Surgical Spirit was a huge success with the viewing public, running for seven series between 1989 and 1995. This complete fourth series was originally screened in 1992.
