Falklands - 25th Anniversary Commemorative Collection DVD

Advantages: Remastered, plenty of extra's
Disadvantages: n/a

A 50 minute documentary "The Making of Jaws" is an interesting insight into the problems during production, i.e., the Technicians strike and the creature not working.

You'll notice that I stated 1979, when this brand new DVD release states 25th anniversary edition; well this little story is best left for the DVD to tell you but basically on completion of the movie back in 1979 a legal war kicked off preventing the movie from seeing cinema's for 2 years. While Harold has been away getting investment something has... Read review

...This is a double series set of DVDs to celebrate 25 years since the creation of the young ones on BBC. The Young ones was a sitcom broadcast on BBC two in the 1980's, written by Rik Mayall and Ade Edmunson it is about 4 students who attend 'Scumbag College' North London. Although set in north london it was actually filmed, well most of it actually in Bristol. The four students are called Rik Prick, Neil, Mike, and Vyvyan. Each can be seen to portray teenagers of different decades. Neil as the 1960's Hippy who studies peace studies, Mike as the 1950's 'happy days - like' Fonze (aka lady killer), Vyvyan as the 1970's Punk rocker (ironically studying to be a Doctor!), and Rik the anarchist studying Socailism.
