Star Trek Deep Space Nine Series 3 (DVD Box Set) With a new ship to show off the Defiant and the portents of the conflict to come there's a more aggressive feel to series 3 of Deep Space Nine. New arcs are deepened right from the off in the two-parter The Search where Sisko and the crew bid to find the mysterious leaders of the Dominion and Odo discovers the truth of his origins. Other episodes take viewers to 21st century Earth (Past Tense 1 and II) into Bashir's mind (Distant Voices) and to a parallel universe (Through The Looking Glass). The season does contain the Dax-in-love clunker Meridian but ends on a dramatic high with The Adversary.

Gone For Good Will Klein lost his lover and his brother in the same moment. Eleven years ago Julie Miller was found brutally strangled and on the same day Will's brother Ken disappeared wanted in connection with the crime. Just when Will thought he could banish the past history begins to repeat itself. ... Terry Jones' Medieval Lives Famous for lampooning the schoolboy view of the medieval world in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' Terry Jones has a real passion for and detailed knowledge of the Middle Ages. In 'Terry Jones' Medieval Lives' his mission is to rescue the Middle Ages from moth-eaten cliches and well-worn platitudes. Behind the stereotypes of 'damsels in distress' and 'knights in shining armour' of rich men in their castles and the poor man at their gates there are wonderfully human stories that bring the period to life. Terry will start with a medieval archetype - the Knight Peasant Damsel and Monk Outlaw King Merchant and Physician - and in the course of unravelling their role and function will meet a host of colourful real-life characters recreating their world by visiting key locations. ... SOUTH PARK-THE MOVIE. (DVD) Gloriously offensive and surprisingly successful big screen spin-off of the animated television series. Stan Kyle Kenny and Cartman have their fragile little minds warped by the new Terrance & Phillip movie and end up provoking their mothers into declaring war on Canada. A musical of sorts South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut is a foul mouthed masterpiece of cardboard cut-out satire – and very very funny as well. It would be easy to chastise the big screen debut of Matt Parker and Trey Stone’s foul mouthed juniors for its never-ending foul language explicit sexual references and gratuitous violence but you get the feeling that Parker and Stone would be delighted by any criticisms along these lines as the film prompts them all. A film that challenges censorship at the same time as satirising the subject seems like quite heavy material but anyone whose remotely familiar with the antics of Stan Kyle Cartman and Kenny will know exactly what to expect. The plot sees the four unruly youths bluff their way into the local cinema to see the new Terrance & Philip movie. They emerge hours later with a whole new vocabulary that delights their friends shocks their peers and provokes their mothers to invade Canada. As you do. Little do they realise that an ancient prophesy claims that should Canadian blood be spilt on the soil of South Park Satan will rise (along with new minion and – uh – lover Sadam Hussein) and take over the world. If this all sounds a little outlandish you obviously haven’t seen any of the original series. Between all of this of course Kenny gets killed (as you would expect) Stan vomits on his true love Wendy and Kyle kicks his baby brother. In addition to all these usual jokes there are a number of songs which effectively let the film qualify as a musical. As well as an extended multilingual version of “Kyle’s Mum’s A Bitch” there are pitch-perfect pastiches on the whole gamut of sickly Disney songs. From the heroes-motivational-number (in this case sung by Satan) to the unrequited-love-ballad (cut short by a vomiting scene) to the Oscar Nominated epic sweep of “Blame Canada” it is entirely possible that South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut is one of the best musicals to have come out of Hollywood for years. Sit back open your mind a little and laugh like a drain. ...
