Certainly indestructible!

Advantages: All the Captain Scarlet stuff you'll ever need
Disadvantages: None

Captain Scarlet was another Gerry Anderson hit show, and was more sophisticated than the ground-breaking 'Thunderbirds', though without so many fancy rockets! As an eight-year-old child Scarlet's foes the Mysterons were as scary, to me, as the Daleks. Captain Black was like a good-looking Davros - but just as evil! As with all of Gerry Anderson shows, there were good looking female dolls (!) in the shape of the heroic, dynamic Angels - Rhapsody, ...

THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE.

Advantages: Better than the animated series
Disadvantages: Nothing

CAPTAIN SCARLET and The Mysterons. ~ INTRODUCTION ~ ************************* Here we are again with another Gerry Anderson Brain child.

The Martains or Mysterons ...
...edge to it. Captain Scarlet was a true hero and even had a resemblance to Roger Moore but sounded very much like Cary Grant. This is a series worth revisiting but probably kiddies today would prefer the cartoon type version. The total series spanned 32 episodes of wonderful nostalgia that will really take you back to proper kids TV. Highly recommended. Greg. ...

It's No Trick, This is a Real Holiday Treat

Advantages: classic Peanuts fun for the entire family, multi award winning animation
Disadvantages: R1 only release currently

...lantern of choice! It's the whole idea of treats and carved pumpkins that resonates most when you ask children about Halloween, and I guess that makes it no great surprise that this is what Schultz brings firmly to life, but in a way that can only exist in the world of Charlie Brown. This time, though, Charlie Brown is not entirely the main focus. No, this is a true Peanuts ensemble piece, with Linus actually being the main attraction. It seems Linus ...
...is Snoopy off form. No, it's dark out, and he has a mission...the WWII flying ace must fly his Sopwith Camel on a daring mission over occupied France..and oh no! The Red Baron shoots him down. Will Snoopy make it back home, Charlie Brown get any treats, and Sally forgive Linus for making her sit in a cold, dark pumpkin patch, missing all the fun? You'll have to watch this to find out, and you do it via this DVD, this is not the only Great Pumpkin ...

An Ugly Dachshund But a Wonderful Great Dane!

Advantages: great chemistry on screen, nicely written clean cut grown up comedy, high production values
Disadvantages: none, unless expecting it to appeal to under 8's

...live action efforts. This was the year that saw The Ugly Dachshund hit the screen, and while it certainly has nothing that children can't watch it in it, it is more likely to appeal to an older audiences. Starring Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette, it's a rather gentle comedy about a Great Dane who thinks its a dachshund. It's a bit of lighthearted fun, making for a nice little date movie, though dog loving children aged 7 and up will also find something ...
...is the topic of the film, it's not so much a story about the Great Dane as it is about the childless Garrisons. Fran Garrison loves her dachshund Danke, who has had puppies. Boy, does she love that dog. Think baby substitute, and you will get an idea of how she dotes on these dogs, though thankfully it is not the sickly sort where they put clothes on the critters and buy a doggie pram so it not a cringe worthy experience to watch. Husband Mark, however, ...
