Advantages: Seeing Spurs beat Arsenal Disadvantages: Not enough features on the DVD
...After Tottenham's embarrassing lose yesterday to their rivals Arsenal in the traditional North London derby by three goals to nil, I felt it was time to dive into the DVD collection and cheer myself up. I stumbled across this classic game and it really did the job!.
The DVD itself was purchased around six months on Amazon for £4.99 and the price has not changed. It is a decent price for a DVD, but the lack of features could change this opinion for some people. There were also a few items on eBay of this item so definitely shop around when looking to buy it.
The game itself is an enthralling one. It was the first ever FA Cup semi-final to be held at Wembley, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Tottenham went onto to win the Cup that year, and by knocking Arsenal out in the semi's made sure that the Gunners could not achieve the double...

He danced on it for a while and seemed to be posing no threat, then this ball was toe poked with great swerve and hit the inside of the post and nestled in the corner...

Advantages: An interesting and unusual detective series Disadvantages: Some minor storyline elements are not explained clearly
...'s whereabouts to recently released villains that Hazell has previously helped put behind bars. Hazell himself though is not averse to issuing the odd threat or bending the truth to get his way.
Based on the novels by Gordon Williams and TerryVenables (yes, THAT TerryVenables), Nicholas Ball is perfectly cast as the the charismatic Hazell who presents a somewhat stylish appearance amongst the drab late 70's London (even Mayfair looks grotty), and to my mind there are some parallels with the Rockford Files, but Hazell is no worse for that.
What really makes Hazell stand out, is the voice-over, in the style of the classic Philip Marlowe films. Running throughout each episode, this often humorous narration gives an insight into Hazell's thoughts, as well as being a good device for moving the story on at a faster rate than if additional scenes had...
