With only a couple of exceptions, all of my reviews pertain to British videos, British authors, or British musicians/singers. The same goes for my lists and 'So You'd Like To' guides, which I update periodically. As a result, if you are a fellow Anglophile, you should feel right at home!
As for a little about me, here's a list of a few of my ABSOLUTE favourites:
Comedies: Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley, Yes Minister/Prime Minister, Fawlty Towers, As Time Goes By, Open All Hours, and My Hero.
Period dramas: North & South (BBC), the Sharpe series, Pride and Prejudice (the Ehle/Firth version), and the Catherine Cookson dramas.
Mysteries: Wire in the Blood, Inspector Lynley, A Touch of Frost, Inspector Morse, Poirot, Lovejoy, and Lynda La Plante's Trial & Retribution.
Comedy-dramas: Cold Feet (sadly there are no plans to release the last 2 series on dvd), All Creatures Great and Small, and Rumpole of the Bailey.
Actor: Sean Bean
Authors: PD James (for mysteries), Alison Weir (for history and historical bios), Edward Rutherfurd (for historical novels).
Novels by contemporary authors: The Quincunx (by Charles Palliser), London (by Edward Rutherfurd), and the James Herriot series of books.
Classic novel: Frankenstein (by Mary Shelley)--a frighteningly 'relevant' novel. It should be mandatory reading for anyone embarking upon a career in the sciences!
Musicians/performers: Erasure, The Bee Gees, and Sarah Brightman.
CDs: I Say I Say I Say by Erasure (with just about everything else by them coming in a close second), Simply Red's Greatest Hits, The Singular Adventures of the Style Council, Pet Shop Boys Discography, The OMD Singles, and Size Isn't Everything by the Bee Gees.
Song: Time to Say Goodbye (Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli).

At long last Erasure has released a dvd of one of their live concerts, and what a spectacular visual (not to mention audio!) feast it is! I've never seen Erasure live, but I have seen clips from some of their concerts on their Hits! dvd, so I had some idea of the sort of thing to expect. Even so, "The Tank, The Swan and The Balloon" (filmed in 1992 with a running time of 135 minutes) is quite unlike anything I've ever seen before. The concert moves through a number of themes, which take their cues from the songs themselves. It's almost like a musical set to the music of (and performed by) Erasure; certainly, it's more of a stage show than a traditional "concert." It's dramatic and… Lire la suite

What Not To Wear: For Every Occasion is Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine's follow-up to their first book, simply entitled What Not To Wear. Their first book dealt with dressing for different body-types in order to maximize one's assets while minimizing one's flaws. For Every Occasion begins with the assumption that the reader has read the first book and gotten some sort of grip on the cut of clothing she should or should not be wearing. The authors proceed to recommend or reject various outfits or clothing combinations for an assortment of occasions. Regardless of how flattering an outfit may be to one's figure, the focus here is on its appropriateness. This book is set up… Lire la suite

The release of this, the third collection set, completes the series for this intelligent, gripping, and truly outstanding suspense drama. It goes without saying that those who have enjoyed the first two collection sets will want to get this one. The only complaint I have is that BFS video has inexplicably split the VHS version of the set into two volumes, which must be purchased separately--as if anyone would want only half of the final series! To their credit, however, they have rectified their earlier oversight by including the episode entitled "Special Relationship", which should have appeared at the start of the second VHS box set (as it does on the DVD version). It is… Lire la suite
