Fabulous Fortunes - Vol 2 - New Tycoons DVD

Advantages: Rivetting, dark Drama
Disadvantages: None for me as a CSI fan.

...CSI started out with CSI: Vegas, and this is the 2nd spin off from that. The main difference with this compared to the other 2 programs is that it is undeniably darker in tone, grittier and gloomy. You soon find out that the lead CSI is a no-nonsense First Grade Detective Mac Taylor played by Gary Sinise. Mac is a former Marine from Chicago, and he is a someone who works to the rules, but has little time for bureaucracy, which can cause him problems with his superiors. But his ability in the field and leadership quality is such that he is tolerated. His attention to detail is second to none and it pays off a number of times.

'The Curse Of Mr Bean', Episode 2. 'Mr Bean Goes To Town... Read review

Yes, it was none other than the brand new, Vernon Kay's 3rd edition DVD of the hit TV Game show, 'Family Fortunes'! Package Of course, when sitting on a shelf, presentation is very important for DVDs of any form or genre; they must stand out amongst the rest.

Stretched across Vernon's chest (not literally) is a big red 'sausage... Read review
