Cult DVD Reviews

• Supernatural: Season 5

  The fifth season of Supernatural continues the show's vertical ascension to essential viewing, and in turn provides many questions for this autumn's upcoming sixth season.

   
• Dennis Potter's Lipstick On Your Collar

  Ever wanted to watch Ewan McGregor lip-sync through 1950's classics over a 6 hour marathon? Well soldier, this is the show for you.

   
• Dennis Potter's Karaoke & Cold Lazarus

  In these times of political coalitions, it's intriguing to watch a unique television experiment which occurred in the late '90s that has similar themes of co-operation.

   
• Warehouse 13: Season 1

  A distinct sense of déjà-vu stalks the first season of Syfy's Warehouse 13.

   
• Being Human: Series 2

  The concept of BBC Three's Being Human is so zeitgeist that it could have been written on the back of a beer mat in the pub behind BBC's Broadcasting House.

   
• Caprica: Feature-Length Pilot

  Caprica may not get the adrenaline pumping like its predecessor Battlestar Galactica, but what it lack in thrills, it more than makes up for with a fascinating exploration and expansion of an already rich mythology, and a layered, multi-threaded story that sets the stage fantastically for the rest of the series.

   
• Twin Peaks: Definitive Gold Box Edition

  This boxset release marks the 20th anniversary of Twin Peaks and, with its Murder She Wrote meets League Of Gentleman style narrative, watching it is a strange experience.

   
• Merlin: Series 2 Volume 2

  Perfect rainy Saturday afternoon entertainment, even if you happen to be watching it in the middle of the week, BBC One's Merlin returns with the final half of the second series.

   
• The Day Of The Triffids

  Despite some decent creature effects and some effective moments of tension, BBC One's recent The Day of the Triffids adaptation is ultimately let down by a poor script, sloppy pacing and disjointed story-telling.

   
• Misfits: Series 1

  It was inevitable that at some point in time one of our beloved British channels would attempt to cash in on the huge hit that is Heroes.
