This programme will never lose its charm. Don't miss this wonderful series.

There is very little I can add to the many favourable reviews this classic Dynamic Duo adventure has already received here on Amazon. This is the Batman I remember from my early teens, and will always be the real thing as far as I'm concerned!

Unless I have missed it, none of the other reviewers have mentioned the sad fact that when it comes to Adam West and Burt Ward this film is pretty much it! No sign of any of the 120 TV episodes on DVD is to be found here, or even in the U.S., nor any mention of why that might be.

The simple explanation seems to be the fact that Warner Brothers own the rights to the Batman characters whilst Fox own the actual programmes themselves! Various websites give a more detailed explanation, but it would appear that the two companies have never been able to agree a deal under which this material could be made available for commercial release. Apparently the shows were never released on VHS either, and the situation is a longstanding one with very little sign of a resolution in the near future. However, this problem does not extend to TV showings like the current run on BBC4 in the UK. Let's hope you've recorded some of them!

I hope this has prevented some fruitless searches for a non-existent Holy Grail, Batman!!

I hadn't seen this film since I was a child, and didn't have the highest expectations having heard throughly mixed comments surrounding it. I can honestly say that it was an absolutely lovely surprise. No, it isn't completely faithful to the novel, but neither is any other adaptation (not even the much loved 1995 version- I don't remember any scene in the novel where Darcy takes a bath or a dip in the lake), and it's true that the costumes are far more Civil War than English Regency, but this is one of the rare examples in which it doesn't really matter because it's just so charmingly done.

Greer Garson is simply magnificent as Elizabeth Bennet- poised, intelligent, gracious and witty and is excellently matched by Laurence Olivier's Darcy. These two prove that you don't need a wet shirt to create sizzling chemistry. The supporting cast is excellent, particularly a brilliant performance by Mary Boland as Mrs Bennet, who perfectly embodies the character's comedy and desperation without descending into caricature. Maureen O'Sullivan is a charming Jane, Edmund Gwynne a most sympathetic Mr Bennet, and Marsha Hunt is great fun as the bluestocking sister Mary.

This will probably never be my definitive P&P, but there's still so much in it to enjoy and I think it captures the gentle humour of the novel perfectly. Enjoy it for what it is, rather than what it isn't.

For those of you who have stumbled upon the customer reviews of this stand up performance you have to understand that this very performance by Frank Skinner is a triumph. Its consistant, the material is sublime and to this day i have yet to see another performance by another comic who can match this one or at least better it. Buy it now as its not on DVD for some CRAZY reason and needs to be owned before it dissapears...truly mind blowing and funny on a diffrent level

I do think this is such a great video, recalling on all the highlights of Cilla Black's classic dating show from 1985-1997 and, just for the record for any immigrant who has heard of Blind Date and wants to see it, I'm sad to tell you that it did run for a very long time but it stopped nearly four years ago - sorry!
I got this video when I was 13 and maybe if I hadn't watched it quite so much, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so bored of it. I don't watch that video very often these days for that same reason but I think I should do at some point because I've left it quite some time now and I shouldn't miss out! Neither should you, if you're a fan of Saturday Night TV.

I've always had mixed feelings about this film. On the one hand it's a frothy romance that gets great performances out of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, as well as the excellent supporting cast; it's a feel-good rom-com, playing out the fantasy of making good, love conquering all and changing lives for the better.

But on the other hand when you look at it, it's really morally dubious. The overall message seems to be "You might be a prostitute down on the strip, but all you need is a rich guy and all will be well". The section at the end when Kit de Luca (Vivian's friend) comes by the hotel, to demonstrate how she has grown while Kit has stayed the same, is downright offensive. The idea that life-chances depend upon dreams and fantasy rather than opportunities is typically American - the romantic equivalent of "the American dream".

All the same, the chemistry between Gere and Roberts is excellent, there's a real spark to them, and the development of their relationship (starting with discarding the blonde wig - prostitutes used to wear them apparently, hence why blondes have more fun) througb to the ridiculous cheesy ending is fun to watch.

Don't get this if you enjoy a cerebral film, or if you pick flaws with things. But if you like fun rom-coms, well this is right up there.

In five run away together we have the fantastic Anita Dobsen guesting she is so comic!
then in five go to mystery moor the horse themed trip is fab with the action packed episode and music its superb!

This collection of videos is excellent, I finally got to see somewhat "luxurious" videos which I had not seen in years, the graphics and "special effects" are superb. However, I would have prefered to have seen the original promotional video of "Book of Days" with the scenes of the film "Far and Away" and Enya in the background instead of a live performance at "Top of the Pops", this was supposed to have been a collection of music videos! The live performance of the song is somewhat boring compared to the rest of the videos! I don't understand why this was so! Other than that the collection was great.

Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to the ring to fight the man who ran him over nearly a year ago. Will the WWF ever be the same again?

Dudley Boyz Invitational Tag Team Table Match
Dudley Boyz vs Too Cool (Scotty Too Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay) vs Lo Down (D'Lo Brown and Chaz) vs Tazz and Raven vs Right to Censor (The Goodfather and Bull Buchanan) 6/10
A great match to start of a great PPV, this has a decent ending as well.

The Acolytes and Lita vs Test, Albert and Trish Stratus 0/10

I'm giving this match a 0/10 is because it never happened, if it did happen then it might have been a good match.

Steel Cage Match
Chris Jericho vs X-Pac 7/10
This match was way better than their match at Unforgiven last month but it had been given a greater hype it could have been better but it is still a great match.

Right to Censor (Steven Richards and Val Venis) vs Chyna and Billy Gunn 3/10
I didn't like this match because I was getting sick of seeing Right to Censor and there was no hype or nothing it felt like a card filler.

No Holds Barred Match
Steve Austin vs Rikishi 9/10
Even though this is a short match it is a great one that was off the rail and very unpredictable.

European Title Match
William Regal vs Naked Mideon 5/10
This was hilarious it had some funny moments but that is all it served.

Tag Team Title Match
The Hardy Boyz vs Los Conquistadores 6/10
Another funny match but could have been a great high flyer of a match.

Triple H vs Chris Benoit 8/10
Some excellent work by both men and one of the best matches of the night.

World Title Match
The Rock vs Kurt Angle 10/10
Match of the night, Angle was great and this was the start of his great career ahead of him, truly awesome.

One of the best PPV of the year if you are a WWF/E fan then get this now.

One of the great motion picture romances, "An Affair to Remember" stars the legendary Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two engaged to be wed people meeting aboard a cruise to New York. The pair soon become acquainted and their friendship blooms into romance.

They agree to meet at the top of the Empire State Building six months from then, provided they still feel the same way about each other. However, through a tragic series of events, their romance seems doomed forever.

The film boasts stellar performances from Grant as a lovable playboy finally wishing to settle down with his ideal woman; Kerr is particularly engaging in the second half of the film regarding what has happened to their relationship.

The film glides by seemlessly and without a moment of boredom as the viewer hopes for a happy ending. It is not however, the thought that everything could go wrong for the couple; but rather the way in which this is presented in terms of character, plot and narrative. The final, heartbreaking scene is only effective when taking into consideration the pasts of the two characters and how perfect they seem for each other.

A classic romance and also a classic film at last available on DVD and a must-see for any true romantic and/or Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr fan!
