Music / Performing Arts - Director: Lotfi Mansouri - Original Language: English - Classification: Exempt - Starring: Yvonne Kenny, Boje Skovhus, Angelika Kirchschlager, Gregory Turay
Advantages: Funny (Pratchett-style), easy read Disadvantages: More jokes, less plot? Bit too Pratchett-esque?
Reading two novels in such a short space of time (a month) is pretty unusual. Normally I'm so busy studying that to pick up a book when I finish feels like a busman's holiday! However, as I'm currently on something of a summer break, and didn't feel like doing any work without confirmation of funding for next year, I remembered a book I'd bought previously.
I bought Tom Holt's Faust Among Equals because I happened to see it for just £1 in Blackwells sale. (I notice they've since changed the cover, so perhaps this was clearing the last of old stock). I'd never read any of Holt's work before, but I knew my brother was something of a fan (having several books), and I'd heard him compared to Terry Pratchett, who I'm a big fan of, so I'd taken the chance to try it cheap.
As I said, I'd never read Holt before, but this is a standalone ...
Advantages: Quite good extras Disadvantages: All in one long episode
Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly
I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it!
The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main ...
Advantages: entertaining, great length, good features, appealing natural comedy Disadvantages: sorry, if you're under 12, its a no-go!
I am a Telly Addict. I'll admit it, it's my life. What's more, I love anything that has me in stitches. So what better than to combine two of my favourite things and come up with an amazing show?! Harry Hill's TV Burps is a comedy show, presented by Harry Hill, which airs every on and off on ITV1. He also writes the script for the show too, which must result in him non-stop working. It first started in 2001 when Hill was just 37, and has been a success for the last eight years now. Each episode, Hill takes us on a journey to look back at that weeks' television, and everything comic about it. Often, there is a celebrity guest appearing in the audience-filled studio, to bring the entertainment and laughter to a peak. Now we can enjoy this magic on a DVD!
For Christmas I had asked for Harry Hill's TV Burp Gold DVD, however I did not ...
