STATION X - The Codebreakers Of Bletchley Park - The Complete Series- 2 Pal DVDs - 205mins (Ch4 1999 16/9 WS) "A very detailed series that chronicles the astounding work British and American codebreakers carried out at Bletchley Park during WWII. The style of the programme captures the camaraderie and atmosphere of what it must have been like to work with the often eccentric codebreakers. It also shows the dedication and hard work of the huge numbers of support staff. Highly recommended!" "This is a wonderful programme. Excellently shot, superbly scripted, the subject matter held my attention right the way through. One of the best television programmes I have ever seen." "This illustraites how a war can be won with brains rather than brawn" (T. Sale) £15 inc UK or EU P&P

Image of Andrews dragging his survival kit behind him, and his grisly death from radiation sickness after bathing in a contaminated stream stayed, strangely, in the memory. £10 inc UK or EU P&P.

JUMPING THE QUEUE - BBC 1989 Review: I saw this well-focused British television film as a one-parter TV play in 1990 and always remembered its emotional depth and intimacy. It's essentially a chamber piece, a one-woman story, and a story inexorably headed towards tragedy. It is headlined by Sheila Hancock, the actress who chronicled her life with partner and 'television detective 'John Thaw in a touching autobiographical/ biographical volume. The performances are strong and memorable, most of all for the maintenance of sympathetic identification with the lead character. It's a story of one woman's decision in the face of few other options. A fine piece of television theatre, this film has been unavailable since its screening and is seldom repeated. It would be fantastic if this ever became available in any shape or form - Well it now is Available - as a DVD, transfer from a VCR recording, the quality is acceptable - running time approx 150 mins. Price, inc UK & EU P&P is £15. See button below for non-UK price.
