LIFE ON MARS SERIES 1 DISC 2 (2006)
Certification15 Our Rating
Episode 3 is one of the weaker sketchs with a rather silly plot about a scab in a textiles factory getting killed. However Episode 4 is much stronger with corruption in the police force the core of the story. Which way will old-style police thug DCI Hunt swing, will he back up Simm or continue on the take? The series is now beginning to motor, the dialogue in this script is some of the smartest and the series is doing what it does at its best, parodying both 70s cop shows and the 70s themselves.

PINK PANTHER: A SHOT IN THE DARK (1964)
CertificationPG Our Rating
The inimitable Sellers in the second of the Pink Panther farces. Although the overall standard is high, it would be worth watching just to see Clouseau impersonating a dentist with a wax nose, or to see him get the girl in the end without even taking his socks off.

Finally on DVD the superlative comedy feast that is Police Squad, the comedy series that inspired 'The Naked Gun'. Ridiculous visual gags, repetitive stock phrases and flimsy storylines all work like a dream and will tickle your silly-bone till your sides hurt. Wonderful!

POLICE STORY (1985)
Certification15 Our Rating
One of the great masters of martial arts directs, sings and performs jaw-dropping stunts. Brilliant fight scenes and stunts performed by the star himself, and a lot of humour as well! If you like this sort of film you won't be disappointed with the man they call "Hong Kong Hills Cop".

Peter Seller's first movie as bumbling Inspector Closeau. Not only is his wife double-crossing him but she is doing it with his arch enemy the jewel thief. This is the version with all those people dressed up in gorilla suits.

THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER (1975)
CertificationPG Our Rating
The classic film of the series; The Pink Panther is stolen in a daring robbery and naturally Clouseau is put on the case. Peter Sellers brings mayhem with his comic genius. I don't know how many times I've seen this film but it still makes me laugh out loud.
