The Peter Serafinowicz Show (DVD)
A fast-paced, broad comedy sketch show based around Peter Serafinowicz's impressions and characters.
In Peter's world, his uncanny impressions of real stars like Terry Wogan, Ewan McGregor, Al Pacino, Noel Edmonds, Simon Cowell, Christopher Walken, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Michael Caine, Laurel & Hardy, Elvis, Alan Alda, Chris Tarrant, and all four of the Beatles mingle with Peter's own creations, such as Terry Wogan's alcoholic identical twin Jerry, pretentious designer 'Keyhole', and Brian Butterfield, the world's most incompetent compensation lawyer.
It's a world where sexy Pirates are waiting for your call, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are lovers and you can buy an M&S Christmas Pudding Sofa or a magazine dedicated to Elephants & Trains.
And of course, O! NEWS - A regular strand that's a spoof US entertainment show as seen by hundreds of thousands of internet users on YouTube, in which Peter, as presenter Kennedy St King, reports on Hollywood nonsense ranging from Simon Cowell's new TV hit 'America's best male prostitute' to the new anatomically correct Oscar statuette.

No - Honestly - The Complete Series (DVD)
This gentle, romantic sitcom stars the real-life partnership of Pauline Collins and John Alderton as a couple recounting the eventful earlier years of their married life together.
Clara and Charles Danby revisit several key moments from their courtship and marriage of ten years. Clara is now a successful children's author, while Charles, affectionately known as 'CD' ('Clever Drawers'), is an established actor. But life wasn't always this comfortable for the Danbys; early days saw the couple struggling to make ends meet as their fledgling careers seemed to founder, and Clara's choice of husband caused a little unease for her aristocratic family. However, the combination of Clara's oddly compelling logic and CD's eternal optimism saw them through those unsteadier times - and would they really have wished it otherwise?
