I remember Band of Gold being on the television a few years ago. A series based around the lives of prostitutes in Bradford, it was very gritty and entertaining. Three series were made in total and have been released all together as a boxset. I purchased this boxset and sat down to take a trip down memory lane. Written by Kay Mellor, it was her first successful television programme. MAIN CAST IN SERIES ONE ++++++++++++++++++ Geraldine James ...

...has fallen in love with the exceptional prose of the West Wing writing staff (Namely Aaron Sorkin), and the believable and engaging acting of the stars within it, the second season had a lot to stand up to. But it steps up the drama completely. In fact the West Wing Series 2 won both Emmy awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Drama. It most certaily deserved it. Headed again by the Presidential looking Martin Sheen - it follows the cast as they ...
...further the inter-relationships between the main characters and other less visible cast members. It follows them as they try and implement the legislation and acts they think matter and will help the American People. Sad times are to be had with the loss of a small part of the cast, but one special to most of us who grew to love her as she stood up to the President she had known since he was a young boy, Mrs Lanningham. Season 1 left a cliff-hanger ... Read review

Disadvantages: There is no more to come!

...for the final season of Sex and the City and I can safely say it is a good one. I was slightly too young to watch the show when it first came out so this is the first season I ever saw, and absolutely loved it! Even after having since seen the other 5 seasons, I would still class this one as my favourite. Although it helps if you have seen the previous 5 seasons of the show, it is easy to follow the story lines and is a great night in with your girlfriends ...

In this season, we see a lot of downs for each of the characters, be it ... Read review

Advantages: Great Watching, Fun, Good Humour
Disadvantages: Raw Emotion

Sex in the City Series Two, Eighteen Episodes, 3 Discs. What I think: This series is one of my favourites, it packed full of emotion good and bad, we really see Carrie take a journey with Big, they get back together and then they loose each other all over again but twice as badly as the first time around. I was able to relate to Carries feelings both emotionally and physically, any girl who's ever had her heart broken will want to shed a tear with ...
...you nice places Yes, the sex is good Yes but do not do it! Of course you know if you were in her shoes you so would as well. Episode Six: The Cheating Game 'Men cheat for the same reason Dogs lick their balls, because they can' Samantha Jones. I just love that quote! In this episode Carrie explores Cheating, What constitutes cheating? And can you cheat when there is no one to catch you? Sick of men Charlotte befriends some power lesbians but is ... Read review
