Drama DVD Reviews

  • 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.

     
  • Wallander: Series 2

    With Britain typically exporting so much quality drama across the globe, it seems anathema to find the BBC remaking the classic Swedish drama Wallander for the popular Sunday evening slot.

     
  • Material Girl: Series 1

    Recently completing its run on BBC One, Material Girl is a six-part fashion drama charting Ali Radcliffe’s (Lenora Crichlow) successes and tribulations as she sets up her own fashion label in London’s Brick Lane.

     
  • Boy A

    Originally made for TV and then wisely picked up by The Brothers Weinstein for a wider cinema release in the US, Boy A is a superlative piece of film-making, based on the book written by Jonathan Trigell.

     
  • Taking Chance

    A fascinating meditation on military loss and grief that could have so easily turned into an emotional button pressing exercise, HBO's Taking Chance is a highly recommended take on the repatriation of America's slain.

     
  • Above Suspicion

    It’s rare enough that we see a prime time British drama with a strong female cast about modern women.

     
  • Trinity: Series 1

    ITV2's Trinity initially makes a rather coarse impression of itself.

     
  • Knight Rider: Season 1

    Back in the day, there was an immensely popular series about one man and his car, fighting crime and evil on a weekly basis.
