First up is a chance to win Trevor`s World of Sport on DVD which includes all seven episodes of the BBC sitcom written and directed by Andy Hamilton. The series follows Trevor (Neil Pearson), a sports agent trying to survive in the increasingly ruthless environment of his profession. As a man who believes in the traditional values of honesty and hard work, Trevor is something of an exception in his field. For evidence of this he need look no further than his partner at TS sports, Sammy (Paul Reynolds), a lascivious opportunist always on the look out for a deal. Estranged from his wife Meryl (Claire Skinner) and seemingly under siege from all sides as his business skills come under scrutiny, will Trevor manage to keep his head above water?

CONGRATULATIONS TO...Wednesday 23rd January 2013 Andris Lastovskis, Neil Ogden and Rob Cox who were all drawn at random from the entries received for our recent The Titfield Thunderbolt competition. Thanks for all the entries and to Studio Canal for their continued support. WIN THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT COURTESY OF STUDIO CANALSunday 6th January 2013 To celebrate the 60th Anniversary, Studio Canal are releasing The Titfield Thunderbolt on DVD and Blu-ray on 14 January 2013, and have given us 3 copies of the DVD to give away.
The film is a wonderful tale of how a community comes together when the British Railways Service announce the closure of the line linking rural Titfield to Mallingford, which they rely on to commute to work and transport their produce to market. They make a bid to run it themselves, backed by massively wealthy local Valentine (Stanley Holloway), who is instantly attracted to the idea when told that there is a complete lack of alcohol licensing hours on trains! However, this decision puts them into direct competition with the local bus company, which leads to a whole array of comically genius anarchy, madness and cunning sabotage. The film has been digitally restored by Pinewood Studios, who spent over 100 hours removing dirt, scratches, hisses and pops from the picture and soundtrack. You can read my full review of the fantastic Blu-ray release here.

Thanks to our friends at Well Go USA we have a Blu-ray (Region A) copy of Assassins to giveaway.
Originally released in 1953, during the Golden Age of Ealing Comedies, The Titfield Thunderbolt was the first Ealing comedy to be filmed in Technicolor and was written by celebrated Ealing regular and Academy Award Winner T.E.B. Clarke (The Lavender Hill Mob, Barnacle Bill), directed by Charles Crichton (A Fish Called Wanda, The Lavender Hill Mob) and starred Stanley Holloway, George Relph, Nauton Wayne and John Gregson.
Marking 50 years since it was first broadcast, this DVD collection brings together the complete series one and complete series three of the groundbreaking marital comedy Marriage Lines. Newly-married George and Kate Starling arrive home from their honeymoon to discover that they have lost their door keys. How they come to meet their new neighbours and events that follow, sets the tone for a series that lovingly explores the perils and pitfalls of love, marriage, anniversaries, petty quarrels and the kind of making-up that is not so hard to do. Series two, and so many more, are irreplaceably lost, but luckily we have uncovered series three, returning to a heavily pregnant Kate and George in their new flat, facing up to the realities of becoming parents – something which Kate takes to with grace and assurance, while George will keep stubbing his toe on the crib in more ways than one.
It is November 3rd, 1960 as we follow the last intake of men into National Service at the tail end of conscription. The Cold War is at its height, but an old way of life is drawing to a close, and a new breed of young man is standing up for England, Rock & Roll and the right to think for himself... but they are in the wrong place. Gangsters, teddy boys, peaceniks, posh boys and one certifiable loose cannon are about to find themselves in Two Section, deafened, blinded, choked and disciplined into one tight fighting machine whether they like it or not. From the food to the beds, from early rising to late watches, from shaven heads to itchy uniforms, they re here to be broken down and rebuilt by the army; but it soon becomes a contest as to which side will break first.
