the robbery. The gang cut there way through a shop floor and dig under the floors that lead into the bank Lloyds Tsb safe deposit vaults. The gang communicate via ham radio, and their conversations are at some stage interecepted by a ham radio amateur listener, who informs the Old Bill about a suspected robbery in action. What the lead character, Terry does not initially realise is that they are being set up to take part by Martine, who is interested only in obtaining photographs, porn filmings of people in high positions of government and the Royal family among others. Bent policemen feature as the innocent robbers get away with the crime. Some of the robbers are murdered, other people involved in some form or another also get murdered. The main characters live to fight another day. The film was done at Pinewood studios in ...

Bond is Back - The Living Daylights DVD

Advantages: Great action film with a serious edge to it, disc is superb quality and packed full of high quality extras
Disadvantages: A perfect Bond disc, no faults!

'We have an old saying too - and you're full of it.' Oooh, here we have a new Bond to replace Moore's departure after 'A View With A Kill', and a bloody tough, mean son of a gun he is too. 'The Living Daylights' marked a new Bond, and a new style of Bond films, returning to the old Connery rugged machismo style, and Timothy Dalton is like a breath of fresh air after Moore's geriatric last performance, relying on jokes because he was too old to do any stunts.

Review of James Bond 007 - The Living Daylights 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 ...
