The Old Curiosity Shop DVD

Advantages: Understandable, Fantastic Material
Disadvantages: Can't think of any! - not enough episodes?!!

...I saw part of the series of this on TV and when I realised there was a DVD of it I had to buy it! I'm female and some things I found could be taken in an offensive manner but to be honest I watched it with an open mind and even found myself laughing at things that ridiculed women! There are 5 episodes on the DVD, each split into different topics as follows: 1. Is this the world we created? - The promised land - Women's lib - Sex - Dress - Estuary English 2. Stuff - The video recorder - Traffic - Street signs - Noise - Mobiles 3. A life in the day - Coffee bars - Cosmetic surgery - Food shopping - IKEA - Restaurant food 4. So who's to blame? - New man - Children - The Internet - Tony Blair - Reality TV 5. Grumpy Old Men at Christmas - Carol singers - Nativity plays - Christmas Music - The tree... Read review

But even I am completely captivated by "Little Shop of Horrors", with its Motown-esque numbers, stellar cast, and dark yet hilarious brand of humour. Rick Moranis - showing off a surprisingly competent singing voice - takes the lead as down-on-his-luck uber-nerd Seymour Krelborn, the plant store assistant whose life is turned upside down by the arrival of a "mean green mother from outer-space".
