"Oh Calcutta! [2006] (DVD)"
"The World's Longest Running Erotic Stage Musical! Written by luminaries including John Lennon, Sam Shepard and Samuel Beckett, this adult musical matched the magic of Broadway with the exhilaration of a peep show over a rock score performed by a live band. Debuting in 1969 and running for a record 17 years, the notoriously erotic stage musical OH! CALCUTTA! playfully challenged taboos by representing the sexual revolution in a series of uproarious skits, dance and naughty musical numbers performed (mostly) in the nude. From an elaborately-concocted scene in which a crafty virgin gets the upper hand on her seducer to a hilarious rendition of awkward first-time swingers, OH! CALCUTTA! gleefully runs roughshod over prudish no-no s while never taking sex too seriously. Directed by British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan, OH! CALCUTTA! is equal parts hubris and hilarity, acting out on stage what usually never leaves the bedroom, to side-splitting and blush-worthy effect.

"Olive Kitteridge (DVD)"
"Based on Elizabeth Strout's Pulitizer Prize winning book, the four-part Emmy Award-winning HBO mini-series stars Frances McDormand in a title role she was born to play. Olive Kitteridge is an indomitable middle-school teacher, wife and mother who lives with her husband “ Henry (played by Richard Jenkins), the town's pharmacist “ and their son Christopher in rural Maine. The stunning scenery, from the canopies of light-dappled forests to the smashing violence of waves on rocky coastlines, plays backdrop to this portrait of a marriage, and by extension the larger community around the Kitteridges, that suffers more than its fair share of unhappiness, miscommunication and tragedies.Olive and Henry's marriage is far from perfect “ this is made glaringly clear in this first episode, Pharmacy', with its focus on Henry's infatuation with Denise (Zoe Kazan), his young assistant at work, a wide-eyed “ quite literally, her huge glasses obscuring half her face “ innocent who leans heavily on her employer after she's widowed. Not that Olive is a woman scorned. Both parties in the marriage have their secrets “ Olive has a long running but ultimately unconsummated affair with a fellow teacher, a man in the gruffness of whom Olive has met her match, perfectly played by Peter Mullan in another piece of inspired casting “ and the resentments that have built up between the married couple over the years are brought sharply to the fore in the third episode A Different Road'after an innocent trip to the ER turns into a life threatening showdown with an armed robber.The series is a wonderfully rich achievement, the team managing to stay both true to the source material, but also creating an original work of their own, and it's the perfect vehicle for McDormand, who manages to capture the complexity of her character down to the tale told by each and every line on her face. What the press said ""Brilliant. Soulful and wise. 5 STARS"" “ Telegraph ""A darkly knotted mess of lust, crime, affairs and heartbreak Frances McDormand is coldly convincing in this painful tale of a woman's life unravelling in picturesque New England"" “ Guardian Release Date:   9th Feb 2015No. Discs:   2 DVDsCert 15Running Time:   3hrs 51With Subtitles"

"Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens (DVD)"
"The groundbreaking BBC serialisation of one of Dickens' best-loved novels Please sir, I want some more Constance Cox's uncompromising 1962 adaptation of Dickens' tale of a gang of orphan boys turned to crime changed the face of British Sunday teatime viewing. Her unvarnished depiction of despair and depravity in the back alleys of 19th-century London, the cruel divide between rich and poor, and the brutal murder of Nancy shattered expectations of cosy family drama and led to public outcry. But this is Oliver as Dickens intended, without the enforced jollity of the blockbuster Lionel Bart/Carol Reed musical. Max Adrian stars as villainous Fagin, Peter Vaughan an indelibly brutal Bill Sikes, Bruce Prochnik a gentle Oliver, Melvyn Hayes a spry Artful Dodger, and Carmel McSharry the trapped and powerless Nancy. In support are Willoughby Goddard as bullying beadle Bumble, Gay Cameron as kindly aunt Rose Maylie, John Carson's cowardly Monks and Donald Eccles' bitter undertaker Sowerberry. This landmark BBC production, released for the first time on DVD, was a gritty game-changer that raised the bar and stretched the boundaries of TV adaptation and serial drama.
