I absolutely love this show. I think another reviewer said thirtysomethings will enjoy this more and I have to agree. While Life on Mars was brilliant, a lot of the time it did seem to be nothing more than a pastiche of the brilliant Sweeney and Gene Genie nothing more than a piss-take of the legendary Jack Regan. That is not to slag it off LoM was groundbreaking and I adore John Simm and he made Sam Tyler such an empathetic character it was easy to sympathise with Sam's plight.

However (deep breath)...Life on Mars is a different kettle of fish altogether. The first thing that struck me was how cleverly it is filmed. The opening scenes of 2008 Alex tacking the demented Arthur Layton who is responsible for putting her into the `coma' are filmed ... Read More:

As other reviewers have noted this disc is a compromise. The show was shot on 16mm film but then all the editing was done digitally in standard definition, with effected added. To go back and re-do all that would be prohibitively expensive, so we end up with this.

The picture quality is not up to the standard one might expect from 1080p, but it is better than the DVD. The sound is a lot better too, not least because Dolby specify a standard loudness which means the over-compression on the original TV broadcasts and DVD release has been corrected with re-mastering. That alone makes it worth getting over the DVD IMHO.

I'd say this is worth getting over the DVD, but not worth upgrading to if you already have the DVD. The frame rate drop in particular was ... Read More:

DVD : The Lakes : Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 [1994] [1997]

The Lakes : Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 [1994] [1997]


starring: Dicken Ashworth, Zienia Merton, Danny McGrath, Marshall Lancaster, Norman Rodway

As anyone who watched the ITV "Cracker" series will be aware, Jimmy McGovern was a writer who could combine hard-edged drama with well fleshed-out and wholly believable characters, in plots which both intrigued and compelled and left the viewer feeling a certain sense of admiration for the whole production.

Well, bad news - either the original Mr. McGovern has changed tack, or someone else is using his name to lure people into to buying this pointless, northern farce!

Admittedly, it is suitably "drab" (as befits it's location), but it's unbelievably condesending to the local communities (who only seem to exist to procreate as widely as possible between themselves) and the "plots" are absolutley the stuff of West End theatre farce! "Oh no, there's a dead ... Read More:

John Simm was an unknown when he took the lead role as Danny BBC1'S he lakes back in 1997 now of course he's appeared in Clocking Off, State of play and the Canterbury Tales. The Lakes is as my title says - UK Drama at it's best. 6 fast paced episodes each one as gripping and intreeging as the last. Its fantastic stuff and one of the most memorable series of the 90's

Fun, intriguing, a bit eerie, and a little bit silly, "The List of Adrian Messenger" was, in 1963, a bit of a throwback to 1940s-style British mysteries, with some added promotional gimmickry prevalent in late-'50s and early-'60s pop cinema.

I first saw this film on TV as a child and was fascinated (and a little creeped out) by the disguises -- particularly by the removal of a false eye early in the film. (Sorry for the spoiler.) Being a young movie fan I was familiar with all the Hollywood "guest stars" purported to be littered throughout the film in disguise, and had fun trying to spot them (I say "purported," since their presence is disputed -- read on).

Another look at "Adrian Messenger" with a bit more mature eye confirms it to be an enjoyable ersatz ... Read More:

Knowing political analogy,incisive script, great acting , but primarily a gripping edge of your seat drama from one of the great movie directors.
Why is it that movie companies seem eager to release so many mediocre movies on to DVD yet this masterpiece remains unavailable.
Please , please release on DVD !
