Quad5point1 18th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Countess Dracula - Network (2014)	Down Mono, Down
Quad5point1 16th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Box Set Clash Of The Titans : 2 Film Collection - Warner Bros. (2012)	Just got the sparkly stars for adding the 10,000th image with this set
Quad5point1 16th Jul 2015		DVD Legends Of Comedy - BBC 2 Entertain (2009)	3 great dramas from the BBC titled Legends Of Comedy, quite how you could call Hughie Green a comedian though is beyond me. Nevertheless Trevor Eve puts in a fantastic performance here as Hughie, just brilliant.
Quad5point1 16th Jul 2015		DVD Battle Of The V.1 - Renown Pictures Limited (2012)	This is truly awful and the colorizing looks like it was done by a 2 year old. Some scenes only have the characters colourized while the rest of the backdrop is still black & white. It also says "Digitally Restored and Remastered", I would take it they mean that in the loosest possible sense ie taken from a film and digitally encoded to a disc and nothing in between. Avoid at all costs
Quad5point1 15th Jul 2015		DVD Apocalypto - Touchstone (2006)	Added cover scans
Quad5point1 15th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set The Champions - Network (2010)	Only added 1 disc image. Another 8 discs all with the same label
Quad5point1 14th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Natural History Museum ALIVE - Colossus Productions Sky 3D (2014)	Good 3D effects
Quad5point1 14th Jul 2015		Blu-ray The Brave One - Warner Home Video (2008)	Just loved this movie, a bit like Falling Down in as much that it's all about revenge. Great !!!
Quad5point1 14th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Return To Cranford - BBC 2 Entertain (2010)	Even more classic television from Auntie Beeb
Quad5point1 14th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Cranford - BBC 2 Entertain (2009)	More classic television from Auntie Beeb
Quad5point1 13th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Yellowstone - BBC 2 Entertain (2009)	This show is a great example of nature filming. It is stunning in the extreme and thoroughly recommended to anybody who likes nature programs. It's simply a "Must See"
Quad5point1 12th Jul 2015		DVD Mo - Channel 4 (2010)	A remarkable film about a remarkable woman played by a remarkable actress. Simply brilliant
Quad5point1 12th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Box Set Das Boot - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2011)	An essential "Must Have" for any collection. Simply superb
Quad5point1 9th Jul 2015		Blu-ray High Anxiety - 20th Century Fox (2010)	I would be biased in my opinion of this movie as it was the first Mel Brooks film I ever saw and even though Young Frankenstein is good I think this is one of the cleverest and funniest movies ever. Madeline Khan in this film is superb as was Cloris Leachman and Harvey Korman. The remastered 5.1 soundtrack is also worth having.
Quad5point1 9th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Box Set Wallander - BBC 2 Entertain (2010)	Just loved this with Kenneth Brannagh
Quad5point1 9th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Brassed Off - Film 4 (2012)	Great movie and a very accurate reflection of what it was like to live through Margaret Thatcher's reign
Quad5point1 9th Jul 2015		DVD The Young Victoria - Momentum Pictures (2009)	A great movie with an all-star cast including Emily Blunt, Miranda Richardson, Paul Bettany & Jim Broadbent.
Quad5point1 9th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set You Rang M'Lord ? - BBC 2 Entertain (2006)	Another great Perry & Croft Sit-Com. Very enjoyable
Quad5point1 7th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set Apparitions - BBC 2 Entertain (2008)	One of Martin Shaw's better efforts, I really enjoyed this series
Quad5point1 7th Jul 2015		DVD The Galton And Simpson Playhouse - Network (2009)	Originally done in 1977 this is a great collection of seven Galton & Simpson plays to have. The three I particularly remembered are still as good today as they were then. They were Car Along The Pass starring Arthur Lowe Swap You One Of These for One Of Those starring Richard Briers I Tell You It's Burt Reynolds starring Leonard Rossiter Just great seeing them again
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Abigail's Party - BBC (2003)	Superb Play from 1977. It's just how I remember the 70's. If you like a bit of time travel there isn't a better way to get you there.
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Reggie Perrin : Series 2 - BBC 2 Entertain (2010)	I never thought this would work after the Leonard Rossiter series "The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin" but remarkably it did. It slightly changed things and in the process created something that wasn't trying to be just a rip-off from the original. All the cast are pretty amazing and I don't think there's a dud character in it. Well worth a watch if you've never seen it

Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Look Around You - BBC (2006)	One of the best comedy shows since Fawlty Towers. If you remember Open University programs and television for Schools & Colleges you will love this spoof
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set The Singing Detective - BBC (2004)	Classic Dennis Potter, Genius !!!
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set The McCartney Years - Warner Music Entertainment (2007)	Although quite good, this set represents to me a missed opportunity for the release of the Back To The Egg Videos in their entirety. Quite possibly the best thing he did on video and it didn't appear.
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD The Killing Of Sister George - Prism Leisure (2001)	For me Beryl Reid was at the peak of her game around this period. Absolutely brilliant performance from her. This along with Entertaining Mr Sloane would be two of my favourite movies from this period in the 60's
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		DVD Modern Problems - Anchor Bay Entertainment (2005)	For me one of Chevy Chase's least known and funnier movies
Quad5point1 6th Jul 2015		Blu-ray Castles In The Sky - Dazzler Media (2014)	Another superb performance from Eddie Izzard
Quad5point1 5th Jul 2015		DVD Box Set Will Hay Collection - Optimum Classic (2005)	My faves would be Boys Will Be Boys (1935) Windbag the Sailor (1936) Where There's a Will (1936) Oh, Mr Porter! (1937) Good Morning, Boys (1937) Ask a Policeman (1939) Convict 99 (1939) Where's That Fire? (1940) The Ghost of St. Michael's (1941) The Black Sheep of Whitehall (1942) The Goose Steps Out (1942) My Learned Friend (1943) On top of all that he was a Polyglot. He was able to speak fluently in French, German, Latin, Italian, Norwegian and Afrikaans !!!
