Advantages: Fantasitc footage of the last days of steam Disadvantages: None
This is another in the eminently professionally produced DVD programmes on steam train released through Green Umbrella.
With the Very Best of British Steam of Yesteryear, you are given a real feast for the eyes and also, for the memory, of course. Well, for those of us old enough to remember when steam trains regularly plied their business up and down the main lines of the United Kingdom.
The last regular steam runs in Britain came to a very sad halt in August 1968. That's slightly under a year before the first manned space flight to the moon, for those interested in transport trivia.

Advantages: I know about the character now Disadvantages: The whole things is a bit of a mockery
Having read with much praise in a number of places about TV Journalist Donal MacIntyre's latest project A VeryBritish Gangster in which he looks at the activities of Dominic Noonan, a self confessed gangster, I was keen to see this feature length documentary movie for myself.
I can only assume that the project began as one of MacIntyre's TV projects, the award winning journalist and director handling real life topics that often others would shy away from. The reason for this assumption is the conversation references that surround the feature, these people expect to be on TV but never in their wildest dreams expected to make the cinemas (even if it was selected ones).
