Drama DVD Reviews - LastBroadcast.co.uk

The sixth season of the ever popular US medical procedural drama gets underway with a bang.

Our Friends In The North: The Complete Series

One of the landmark shows of the 1990s, Our Friends In The North is a prime example of "they don't make 'em like they used to" television.

Anna Karenina

Opening on a bold close-up of Claire Bloom as Anna Karenina, this limited 1961 BBC retelling of Tolstoy's classic has one major draw.

Identity: Series 1

Heavily trailed over nearly every World Cup ad-break, ITV1's Identity starts relatively well and then resembles a lemming hurtling over a cliff.

Generation Kill

It is said that the best drama is derived from conflict, either figuratively or literally, and that is certainly the case with HBO's seminal seven-part series Generation Kill.

Small Island

Andrea Levy's award-winning novel Small Island is perfect fodder for adaptation and thankfully this task is one that the BBC excels at. splitting the narrative over two episodes into a three hour epic.

Psych: Season 2

The American TV show Psych has somewhat fallen through the cracks of British programmers, incongruously popping up on BBC Two in the slot most usually associated with Tony Shalhoub's Monk.

The Littlest Hobo: Season 1

To the strains of one of the most memorable (not to mention hummable) theme tunes in television history, The Littlest Hobo trots on to DVD at last.

Skins: Series 4

Following its recent airing on E4, Skins returns on DVD with its fourth series of sex, drugs… and indie-soundtracked montages of not a lot happening.

Doc Martin: Series 4

Martin Clunes is back in another 8-episode run of ITV1's Doc Martin, and - thanks to the bombshell dropped at the end of the previous series - is grumpier than ever.
