I can see my house from here....

Advantages: Shows lovely scenery
Disadvantages: Another niche market product

...Guard, and travels over the Isle of Man and discusses the impact the last Ice age had on sculpting the hills and the northern plains. It shows some very nice views, and in my opinion is just generally more interesting than Manx Moods. One example is the re-telling of the stories of Peel Castle and the small island it sits on just off the coast of the Peel itself, and lets you appreciate the history behind it. Everything in this DVD is filmed from ...
...around the coast of the Isle of Man, showing the settlements such as Ramsey, Douglas, Kirk Michael and Castletown as the helicopter shows the miles of beaches and coast. However, onto the bad bits - its not really an exciting program - its educational for the history and geography parts, but its definetly a niche market again. If you like geography/geology/celtic history, then you won't be disappointed, but anyone hoping for daredevil flying stunts ...

Review of Isle Of Man From The Air (DVD)

"Do You Sell Bath Plugs?"

Advantages: Palin, interesting interviewees, more insight than 'Around the World'
Disadvantages: None if you yearn to travel and like Palin.

...ultimate new Olympic event - Full Circling." With this depth of content in mind and due to the fact that some episodes are more enjoyable than others, the following are brief synopses and assessments of each episode to give a taste of the dvd's offerings. I have been as selective as possible, as whilst on the one hand I find it helpful to know at least a skeleton outline when buying a documentary dvd, I do not want to make this review the length ...
...and to skimp anymore would be a disservice to the dvd. SYNOPSES AND OPINIONS .....Episode One - Alaska and Russia The grey skies over a bleak landscape of rock and sparse greenery of Little Diomede, Alaska, (Palin's departure point) somewhat reflect the slow and inauspicious start to this series. Palin takes a while to warm to his task though his good humour prevails as this programme slowly crunches its way into gear, just like the archaic modes ...

Review of Full Circle With Michael Palin (DVD)

Fancy a walk?

Advantages: Amazing scenery, facinating
Disadvantages: Is there any?

Himalaya - Michael Palin I am reviewing this 3 disc set on DVD, obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be a disc set. There are some extras on this DVD, they are: - Exclusive Pre-Trip Introduction on all three discs Extended Scenes Scene selection, There is over 90 minutes of Bonus Footage on this DVD It is rated 12, as there is moderate sexual detail. Running time approx 352 minutes. Also with subtitles, in English. Series producer & Director ...
...a fantastic view of the Himalaya mountains. Well as you can guess from the title it is about the journey of one man, Michael Palin, who at his age is remarkably fit, and needed to be to go on this amazing journey. Rather than list all the separate titles of each scene that are on the DVD, I will try to explain what is so amazing about this DVD. After watching this for the third time, I am still amazed at the sheer will power of Michael Palin, ...

Review of Himalaya With Michael Palin (DVD)

It's Physically impossible not to laugh yourself thin with Coleen

Advantages: energetic, soundtrack, length, presenter, trainer
Disadvantages: /

Coleen Nolan has been one of key people in my life for nearly three years, and coinciding with my love for fitness comes my passion for Coleen's workout DVDs. Her first was a success, and her second was even greater. So when I heard she was releasing a third, to say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. The first DVD was very much a cardio workout, and the second was a bit more of a dance routine. I did wonder what 'Let's Get Physical' was going ...
...whole DVD, a smile that Coleen takes with her everywhere. In a little bubble at the side it says '4 x 20 minute workouts'. This got me thinking; usually exercise DVDs are an hour long and although broken into sections, they connect to one another. Though this one claimed to be four separate routines, taking the length to 80 minutes rather than 60. I was desperate to explore. Putting the DVD on, I entered the first of four routines. This turned out ...

Review of Coleen Nolan - Let's Get Physical (DVD)

* Get Fit With Claire *

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not many!

I used to be a HUGE Steps fan in my younger days! I was mad about them! I had all their CDs , Videos , Books , T Shirts , Scarfs , Posters , Mugs .... if it had a Steps logo on it , I had it. So as you can image I was pretty gutted when they split up. Fast forward seven years and Claire Richards , ex member of Steps , is back on the scene with a fitness DVD which helped her drop five dress sizes! I remember, it was Christmas last year, when the DVD ...
...it was too expensive. I can't remember exactly how much it was at the time , although I think it might have been aroung £17 which I thought was far too much to pay for a fitness DVD. So I decided I would wait. I waited so long that I forgot about the DVD , until recently. I was browsing through the DVD pages on Amazon when I came across the DVD selling for £12.98 ; still quite expensive considering that the DVD is now a year old. However I still ...
