outbreak of war through the Blitz to the V-Bomb menace. London Can Take It! (1940): This celebrated film co-directed by Humphrey Jennings was aimed at American audiences with reporter Quentin Reynolds praising the courage and resilience of Londoners during the Blitz. The First Days (1939): A quiet portrait of London in the first days after war had been declared awaiting the inevitable onslaught.

Ordinary People (1942): A day in the life of ordinary Londoners trying to get on with their lives and contribute to the war effort - and waiting for the seemingly inevitable air raid sirens to sound again. London Scrapbook (1942): Bessie Love Basil Radford & Leslie Mitchell star in this vivid portrait of London at war intended for American audiences to help them appreciate the experience of living in a war-torn city.

When I moved to uni almost a year ago, I knew I wasn't going to have a television so my relatives were nice enough to buy me various DVDs to take for watching. Little Britain season one was one such gift. I'd seen a few of the shows on TV and shown a mild interest in it, but I wasn't hooked on it or fussed either way.
The first time I watched the season through I was in hysterics. Each of the characters brings something different and you can follow their situation through the episodes. If you can't follow the many individual characters by watching episode to episode, there is a feature on the DVD that allows you to play all the skits with a particular character. They mostly have their own catchphrase too, which has a strange way of being able to bring strangers together, 'yeah I know', 'yeah but no but yeah but?' and 'eh eh eh ...
It is hard to believe that it was as long ago as February 2003 that the digital/freeview channel BBC3 first ran a pilot episode of a new comedy called Little Britain.
The response was fantastic and the creator's Matt Lucas and David Walliams were commissioned to write a full series of eight episodes, which were first broadcast on BBC3 in the September of the same year. Following on from this success it was then re-run on BBC2.
What is it all about?
The Little Britain series is basically a collection of short sketches, which feature the same characters from one week to the next. Each character creation is very unique and you soon get to know their peculiarities and catchphrases. It is these individual characters which make the programme what it is, as it is these people that you soon grow to love.
Little Britain works as ...

violin, dipped in plaster was not right. The true story was much more interesting. And Fred has a reasonably successful go at plaster work himself.
DVD 3 covers Building the Canals and Victorian Splendour
Here, of course, Fred Dibnah comes into his own. For this is Fred's favourite era, I think. The Industrial Revolution and then into the times of Victorian Britain.
He returns home to Bolton to look at what remains of the once-extensive canal system and to explain not only how they were constructed (complete with models, of course) but also why they were constructed.
In Victorian Splendour Fred Dibnah takes a look at the fantastic work of Pugin when he was required to rebuild the Palace of Westminster in Medieval style, to match the remains of the palace. He shows how it was built, and how Big Ben's clock tower was constructed ...
