Clifton House Mystery - The Complete Series
An old woman’s possessions are auctioned, and orchestral conductor Timothy Clare and his family move into her large, though rather gloomy and dilapidated, old house in Bristol. It soon becomes clear that Clifton is a house full of secrets, and that Mrs. Betterton had good reason to leave with her young granddaughter, the ethereal, otherworldly Emily; after a series of frightening experiences and disturbing discoveries - including a walled-up room containing a skeleton - the Clares realise that they are not the only occupants. Unearthly presences inhabit the house, and the family must find a way to lay the ghosts to rest if they are ever to find peace there. Eerie special effects, a twist-laden plot and highly atmospheric setting make for spine-tingling drama in this memorable six-part series for younger viewers. Made by HTV – renowned for producing inventive children’s drama with supernatural themes and a slightly sinister edge – The Clifton House Mystery stars Peter Sallis as Milton Guest, the eccentric but affable ghost hunter who is eventually called upon to exorcise the restless spirits that plague the family. Originally screened in 1978, the complete series is available here for the very first time on DVD. -
Within These Walls - Series 3
Within These Walls offre un ritratto autentico della vita quotidiana in prigione, così come il progresso della riforma del sistema penale, riflettendo il passaggio da un ethos vittoriano di punizione a un'enfasi sulla riabilitazione. Concentrandosi sui processi di una governatrice appena nominata e sui suoi tentativi di liberalizzare il regime di Stone Park, H.M. Prigione per donne, Within These Walls fu un enorme successo per la LWT e avrebbe stabilito il modello per serie successive come Prisoner: Cell Block H e Bad Girls; la serie è ancora ricordata con affetto più di 30 anni dopo la sua proiezione originale.Googie Withers (The Lady Vanishes) interpreta la principesca e compassionevole governatrice della prigione, Faye Boswell, il cui compito è capire e aiutare le donne che si trovano nel mondo chiuso di Stone Park. Con una scrittura e una regia forti, Within These Walls rimane un punto alto del dramma televisivo britannico. Questa terza serie, che include apparizioni di ospiti, tra gli altri, Joan Hickson, John Rhys-Davies e Michael Sheard, fu originariamente proiettata nel 1975. -

Sky West And Crooked
Directed by John Mills and starring his daughter, Hayley, Sky West and Crooked tells the story of an isolated, traumatised yet free-spirited young girl, who fi nds solace in a rather unusual pastime. Tension mounts in the West Country village in which Brydie White (Hayley Mills) has lived all her life. As a child, she witnessed the death of her friend Julian, who was accidentally killed whilst playing with his father's shotgun. Brydie, wounded and left mentally damaged by the accident, has no memory of the event. But while the villagers have suspicions, Julian's father, Edwin (Laurence Naismith), holds her squarely responsible for the death. Ostracised and misunderstood, Brydie retreats from the adult world and finds companionship among a group of younger children with whom she pursues a new pastime - solemnly burying deceased animals in a sequestered corner of the churchyard. As the children's activities cause consternation in the village, Edwin Dacres' anger reaches boiling point. But there is yet more for the innocent Brydie to contend with: Roibin (Ian McShane), a handsome young gypsy, has fallen in love with her... Hayley Mills' emotionally compelling performance is at the heart of this touching, poignant and often humorous film. Sky West and Crooked was both written and adapted by Hayley Mills' mother, Mary Hayley Bell, and stars Annette Crosbie as Brydie's alcoholic mother and Geoffrey Bayldon as the beleaguered but sympathetic Reverend Moss; the film also boasts beautiful cinematography by Arthur Ibbetson and a haunting score by Oscar-winning composer Malcolm Arnold. -

Fresh Fields - Series 1
William and Hester Field have been very happily married for twenty years.

Starring Anton Rodgers (May to September) as accountant William and Julia McKenzie (Cranford) as accomplished cook Hester, Fresh Fields' wry, gentle humour made it a firm favourite with viewers, spawning an equally popular sequel - French Fields - and earning McKenzie a BAFTA nomination for Best Light Entertainment Performance. The series, which aired between 1984 and 1986, was produced and directed by sitcom veteran Peter Frazer-Jones (George and Mildred, After Henry).

Larkins - Series 2 - Complete
Meet the Larkins - the put-upon but crafty Alf, his domineering wife Ada, son Eddie, daughter Joyce and her American ex-GI husband Jeff, a barely employable writer of stories for cowboy comic 'The Bullet'. They all live in a state that falls somewhat short of domestic bliss at 66 Sycamore Street, in a suburb of London, next to inquisitive neighbour Hetty and her family. This classic early ATV sitcom was created by Clapham-born Fred Robinson and based upon his youthful scripts for plays about a fictional Cockney family. With skilful comic playing from a renowned cast and a script that ATV production controller Bill Ward described as the funniest he had ever read, The Larkins inspired great affection throughout its run between 1958 and 1964. This second series was first screened in 1959 and has been transferred from the original film telerecordings specifically for this release. -
Starsuckers
Do you want to know how much Simon Cowell pays publicist Max Clifford? Or what the PR guru does to protect one of his influential clients who enjoys sex in public places? Would you like to know what Samuel L Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes think about celebrity culture and their fans? Or how about learning how to make a quick £600 for a fake story that a reporter is too lazy to substantiate? All is revealed in STARSUCKERS (12), the highly controversial documentary about a media obsessed by celebrity, available to rent and buy on 12th April 2010, RRP £14.99, courtesy of Network Releasing. Previously unseen bonus footage available exclusively on this DVD includes some tongue-in-cheek interviews with 50 Cent, Samuel L Jackson, Keira Knightley, Clint Eastwood, Emma Watson, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Chris Noth, Jennifer Tilly, William Moseley, Eddie Izzard and Ralph Fiennes talking and their relationship with fame and their fans. From Chris Atkins, the director of BAFTA-nominated TAKING LIBERTIES, STARSUCKERS is a fascinating journey into the dark underbelly of modern media, uncovering the real reasons for our addiction to fame and blowing the lid on the corporations and individuals who profit from it as well as members of the public that are duped by the media machine. A covert operation filmed over a two-year period, the film uses a combination of previously unseen footage, undercover reporting and stunts that fool the public and the media alike as well as animation to reveal the toxic effect that the media is having on all of us including our children. It also argues how truth has become a distant memory in some modern news reporting and presentation, and climaxes with shocking revelations about Live 8.

Dear Mother, Love Albert
In between major successes in the Likely Lads series, Rodney Bewes also became the star of this ratings-winning sitcom chronicling the misfortunes of a naïve young man from the north of England who moves to London in search of fame and fortune. Dear Mother... Love Albert was co-written and produced by Bewes, and based on the actor's own letters home, in which less-than-impressive details were omitted and triumphs wildly exaggerated; Bewes also sung the show's theme song, which he co-wrote with songwriter and musician Mike Hugg. Dear Mother... Love Albert also features Garfield Morgan as Albert's boss, Mr Strain, and Geraldine Newman as his landlady. This set contains all the episodes still in the archive and consists of series two and three of Dear Mother...Love Albert and its retitled fourth series Albert. Twenty-four-year-old northerner Albert Courtnay has upped sticks and moved down to London where he hopes to carve out a brilliant career. Instead, he finds himself working at a confectionary factory, Tomlinson Toffee, where he falls for the charms of PR girl Antonia. Albert's new life in the big city may not be quite as exciting as he had hoped, but it's certainly complicated - not that he'll be telling his mother. -
In The Pit
This film tells the story of the workers who are constructing a 17-kilometre second deck for Mexico City’s inner Periférico freeway, and in doing so, transforming the city, its landscape and the lives of its inhabitants.

Contrasts, emotions and small moments culminate in the loss of a soul taken by the devil - a soul that will remain as a memory of the workers who built the Second Deck.
