they had shared, Snoopy packs his doggy bowl and goes off to the city to see Lila. Once at the hospital, he is again confronted with "No Dogs Allowed", but is determined to not let that stand in his way. In the meanwhile, a very heartbroken Charlie Brown notices his pet is missing, and the Peanuts gang set out to locate him, and bring him home. Will Snoopy comehome? Will he realise that Charlie Brown loves him with all his heart? And will manipulative Lila reclaim Snoopy's affection?
Covering the themes of love, affection, and loyalty in depth, a good bit of the dialogue will go above the heads of the under 8 crowd. For example:
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: What do you think love is, Chuck?
Charlie Brown: Well, years ago, my dad owned a black 1934 two-door sedan.
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: What's that got ...

I have enjoyed a few Patricia Scanlan novels in the past, but I haven't read anything by her in a while now. I am a bit partial to anything festive so when I saw that her latest book was going to be based ...
Another fantastic episode by John Sullivan.
Rodney ComeHome is yet another very funny episode from Britains best loved comedy, Only Fools and Horses.
This episode keeps up the sitcoms quality laugh-a-minute-routine. In this episode Rodney suffers from hangovers and has left Cassandra and is living back with Del and Raquel.

Only Fools and Horses has become a part of British TV for life, and this is one episode which cannot be left out of your collection.
The performances by David Jason and Nick Lyndhurst are amazing as always, making the show hilariously funny and, I will say it again, well worth your money.

DVD Description
CATHY COME HOME is an early example of director Ken Loach's pioneering realist style. Originally broadcast in 1966 as part of the BBC's 'Wednesday Play' series, the film tells the tale of a young family who find themselves in a chain of events that will eventually leave them homeless. Reaction to the first showing was so strong that questions were asked in Parliament (eventually contributing to a change in the law) and a new charity, Shelter, was formed to help the homeless.
