SWEET VALLEY
I am an avid fan of the Sweet Valley series and when I heard about the DVD edition, I wanted to watch them immediately! For those who are not familiar with the series, Sweet Valley is a set of series based on two Californian twins. Produced by Francine Pascal, the series are divided into three categories: Sweet Valley Twins series, Sweet Valley High series and Sweet Valley universities. All three categories follow the lives of the two twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, as well as the lives of their friends and family in general.

Advantages: Great drama show, secrets, lies Disadvantages: None
Families, drama, secrets and lies, what more could you want from a television show.!! Brothers and sisters is one of my favourite drama series out at the moment. It is shown in England on Channel 4 and more recently on E4. It first came out in September 2006 and as of September 2008 they are now in their third series. The DVD of the first series came out in February of this year.

We are introduced to the family at a birthday party. The patriarch and much loved figure of William Walker dies in spectacular fashion and things are never quite the same again. What looked liked a charmed life from the outside soon begins to crack and the secrets come pouring out. Nora Walkers ...
Nominated for the 2004 Best Foreign Film Oscar, the Dutch film TWIN SISTERS (DE TWEELING) is based on a European bestseller by Tessa de Loo. The two sisters of the title, Anna and Lotte, are separated during their youth after the death of their parents in the 1920s. Sickly Lotte is taken by her wealthy relatives in Holland, while Anna is whisked away to the rural German farm of her uncle. They briefly reunite during the late 1930s, but the Second World War rips them apart once more, causing the destruction of almost everything either one cared for. After being stuck on opposite sides of the conflict and losing nearly everything, is reconciliation even a possibility for the pair, despite the intimacy of their birth? TWIN SISTERS combines the sweeping historical epic with an examination of daily lives in the period leading up to, and during, World War II.
