Three-part BBC television miniseries about the notorious 18th
century lothario, written by Russell T. Davies and starring David
Tennant and Peter O'Toole. The aged Casanova (O'Toole) is living
out his days as the custodian of a library in Bohemia when he meets
young serving girl Edith (Rose Byrne). He begins to tell her about
his infamous escapades as a young man (played by Tennant), when he
scandalised Europe and was exiled from his native Venice for crimes
against the government and church. Wandering through Enlightenment
Europe, Casanova reinvents himself constantly as a poet,
philosopher, spy, black magician, petty conman and, of course,
lover, eventually incurring the wrath of the Venetian ambassador to
Britain, Grimani (Rupert Penry-Jones), after he falls in love with
his wife, Henriette (Laura Fraser). Wounded in a duel with Grimani,
Casanova returns home but is unable to forget the one woman he
truly loves.
All 18 episodes from the first three series of the Channel 4 sitcom
starring Simon Bird and Tamsin Greig, centred around the regular
Friday night meal shared by eccentric Jewish family the Goodmans.
20-something brothers Adam (Bird) and Jonny (Tom Rosenthal) may
have left home and carved out lives (of sorts) for themselves, but
when they go back to their parents' home every Friday night they
always seem to find themselves caught up in the old family
dynamics. Series 1 episodes are: 'The Sofabed', 'The Jingle', 'The
Curtains', 'The Dress', 'The Mercedes' and 'The Date'. Series 2
episodes are: 'Buggy', 'Mr. Morris', 'The Loft', 'The New Car',
'The Yoghurts' and 'The Mouse'. Series 3 episodes are: 'The
Girlfriend', 'The Fox', 'Mr. Morris Returns', 'The Anniversary',
'The Piano' and 'The Big Day'.
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the
Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell
very much like our own, but which looks completely different...
Collected together for the first time are seven full-cast BBC Radio
dramatisations of Terry Pratchett's novels, with star-studded casts
including Martin Jarvis, Sheila Hancock, Anton Lesser, Philip
Jackson, Alex Jennings and Mark Heap. Now being published for the
very first time, the adaptations in this collection are: Mort
Hopeless young peasant Mort is hired as an apprentice to Death.
He'll have free board, use of the company horse, and being dead
isn't even compulsory. In fact, it's a dream job - until he
discovers that it can be a killer on his love life... Wyrd Sisters
Three witches meet on a blasted heath. A king is cruelly murdered.
A child heir and the kingdom's crown are both missing. But Granny
Weatherwax finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more
complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe...
Guards! Guards! In Ankh-Morpork, the Haves and the Have-Nots are
about fall out. Again. The Night Watch's Captain Vimes is used to
this but when the Have-Nots find the key to a lethal, dormant
weapon that even they don't understand, he knows it's time so sober
up. Eric When precocious young Eric Thursley summons a demon from
the loathsome pit to fulfil his every wish, he wants what everyone
wants - immortality, to rule the world, and have the most beautiful
woman love him. Instead he gets Rincewind, the Disc's most
incompetent wizard. Small Gods On the Discworld, Gods are as
numerous as herring roe, all elbowing for space at the top. In such
a competitive environment, you need an acolyte, and fast. For the
Great God Om, Brutha is the Chosen One, or at least the only One
available... Night Watch Living in the past is hard. Dying in the
past is incredibly easy, especially when there is a serial killer
on the loose who targets coppers. Commander Sam Vimes of the City
Watch is back in his own rough, tough past, and he has a job to do.
***Bonus Story*** In addition to these Discworld novels, this
collection will also include a full-cast dramatisation of Only You
Can Save Mankind, from the Johnny Maxwell series. As an alien fleet
crosses his computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow the ScreeWee
into a million pieces... 'The voice cast is fantastic' - Starburst

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in this sci-fi comedy about a group
of friends who reunite to complete the pub crawl they abandoned
back in their youth. Galvanised by Gary (Pegg), 40-somethings
Oliver (Martin Freeman), Andy (Frost), Steven (Paddy Considine) and
Peter (Eddie Marsan) return to their home town for one more attempt
at trying to reach the legendary pub, 'The World's End'. But after
setting out on their quest, taking in watering holes such as 'The
Two Headed Dog' and 'The Famous Cock', the friends' objective soon
pales into insignificance when they realise that the fate of the
entire human race may ultimately rest in their hands.
