Faithless - Live At Alexandra Palace (DVD)

A palace all of his own

Advantages: Great cast, superb acting, well developed story and relationships
Disadvantages: Went on for a while!

I am not normally someone who sits down for nearly 2 hours on a Sunday evening to watch a television drama. However, the constant adverts for Joe's Palace on the BBC channels managed to capture my interest enough for me to put it in my Sky planner, so when the reminder came up, I decided I'd watch the first half hour and see how it went. I actually ended up watching the whole thing, which for someone who dislikes these long dramas is no mean feat, and I must credit that to the wonderful programme I sat and watched. Joe's Palace has been widely advertisted across the television I think because it has been written and directed by the renowned television drama writer Stephen Poliakoff. Now I will be honest and say that I have not seen anything else Poliakoff has written, so I didn't know what to expect from one of his shows ...

Review of Joe's Palace (DVD)

LIVE AID DVD

Advantages: Too many to mention Just ENJOY
Disadvantages: Hours spent watching 10

I was one of those lucky few who was there on the day. The day that music changed the world something that has continued ever since but has never been achieved up to this standard. I have been to many many live gigs but this one comes right at the top, I can still remember the shivers down my spine as I felt the excitement from crowds and performers alike so, when the concert was released on DVD I decided to purchase it. All proceeds from this dvd goes to the Band Aid trust to continue their help in feeding the world. The 4 disc DVD is beautifully presented in a fold out cover which slips into a protective box., It contains an informative booklet giving information and glossy colour photographs from that day.. I was also interested to see that it contained some unseen footage and a documentary which was shown on the BBC a year after ...

Michael McIntyre - Live And Laughing DVD

Advantages: Real to life stories turned into hilarious everyday moments
Disadvantages: None

similar to that but without the visual part of the stories and the sweating! His laugh is also infectious, he laughs at his own stories and you cant help but laugh along with him The dvd itself is pretty basic, only his Live at the apollo performance as an extra. Theres a brief opening scene of him being posh and chauffered around but apart from that, thats it. To be honest though you dont need anymore than that, the event itself is outstanding. Very little audience participation which is his way of doing things, he has stories to tell, theyre funny, you laugh and then he goes. Simple but effective! Some of my favourite stories include going into a buffet waiting to be seated then immediately getting up and going back the way you came in to get to the buffet! Me and my girlfriend had this whole scenario a few months back in an all ...
