as a unique personality distinct from the superficially similar Inspector Morse says much about his understated skills as an actor. Thaw brought his trademark mixture of curmudgeonly belligerence and gruff sensitivity to Kavanagh, but the barrister--who first appeared on our screens in 1995 while the Oxford detective was still alive and kicking--is no polished-up Morse. He is far worldlier, is married and has a family. And although he is often troubled by his cases, he is never afraid to play the system. He knows that there are devious, even superficial lawyers, some of them in his own chambers, who he must face across the courtroom, but he acknowledges them as an unavoidable aspect of the world in which he works. The plots are often convoluted, but Kavanagh's wielding of the trusty sword of truth is always irresistible, particularly when the case involves some kind of high-level government aberration. "The End of Law" is a case in point; a particularly nasty tale about an unexceptional businessman framed for a murder which covers up an unpleasant security scandal. It's dark and dirty and full of troubling compromises. In the end, as with most of his cases, Kavanagh's craggy features convey a subtle hint of the sourness which comes with his chosen territory. --Piers Ford

Advantages: Three disks, special features Disadvantages: Disks are packaged the same as originals
...I've always been a big fan of John Thaw since seeing an Inspector Morse episode as a young teenager.
His amazing ability to bring a character to life and suck you into the role grabbed me from the offset and I followed his TV work ever since.
John was born in Manchester on 3rd January 1942 and always wanted to be an actor. He was encouraged by his teachers and at the age of 16 he joined RADA and trained as an actor.
John Thaw had parts in many television shows, films and stage shows including: Redcap, The Sweeney, Dead Man's Chest, Thick as thieves and more recently Inspector Morse and KavanaghQ.C.
After his death in 2002 from cancer it was decided to release a tribute to John in the form of a DVD boxset.
In November of the same year this set was released.
To be honest it was a bit of a let down.
Contained in the set are:
The Dead...

The Royle Family Review ofThe Royle Family - Series1-3 - CompleteCollection (BoxSet)by
blissman70
Advantages: Side splitting fun with some good one liners Disadvantages: Not enough series
...are introduced to Denise and Daves new daughter, Norma Orchid Delulah Porsha, named after Denise's Nana, (Norma…not the rest of the name)
The first series involved 6 episodes, each one as funny as the last.
From The telephone bill arriving and upsetting Jim to the wedding of Denise and Dave to end the series in style.
The second series, again another 6 episodes begins with Denise announcing her pregnancy and ends with Antony's 18th birthday party in which we are introduced to Emma Kavanagh, (Sheridan Smith).
Then there was the Christmas special where Denises waters break and she goes into labour whilst Dave is dropping 'Nana' off at home.
This special gives a true insight into the how close the family are, especially how close Jim and Denise are as there is a truly emotional scene in the bathroom as Jim tries to reassure Denise that everything...
