Ricky Gervais Live Animals - (DVD) Filmed during a limited run at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London the show is based around Ricky’s fascination with the animal kingdom (including that curious species the human being) and covers subjects as diverse as classifying bats gay animals and the Great War poets.

PROOF OF LIFE (DVD) Tense action drama. When an American businessman is kidnapped his wife hires a kidnap and ransom expert to rescue him or negotiate for his freedom. However as time passes she begins to fall for the man who would save her husband... Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe star. It's a bit tricky discussing Taylor Hackford's Proof Of Life without mentioning - if only briefly - the tabloid brouhaha which surrounded its production notably in the relationship of the two stars Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. Given the public relationship off screen one might have hoped it would have transferred in-tact to the on-screen coupling however - ironically - the romantic aspect of Proof Of Life is flat which the action set-pieces hold the attention. Based on a Vanity Fair article entitled "Adventures In The Ransom Trade" by William Prochnau Proof Of Life excels when it dwels on the details of the very real kidnap and rescue trade. Also inspired by the autobiography of kidnap victim Thomas Hargrove the film strives for as much realism as possible. Unfortunately in a slightly blinkered attempt not to offend anyone the film is set in a fictional "Latin American Country" which seems to be populated with third world stereotypes the film manages to avoid much of the meat of its source material. As an action thriller Proof of Life works very well a success which is partly down to Russell Crowe's performance as ex-SAS turned K&R man Terry Thorne. Proving that Gladiator was no flash in the pan and that he can hold a film very nicely on his own thank you. David Morse is fine too as the kidnap victim and David Caruso is surprisingly convincing as Crowe's partner. Less convincing though is Meg Ryan - partly because her role is comparatively thin - she needs to do little other than wait around looking concerned which may well be realistic but is hardly gripping film-making. Thanks partly to its fascinating subject matter Proof Of Life is a very entertaining film when it stays true to it's source material it is excellent but when it tries to throw romance into the mix it grinds to a halt. Flawed but interesting stuff.
