INCEPTION - [BLU-RAY + DVD]



INCEPTION - [BLU-RAY + DVD]

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception.

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. 
Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. 
Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption: one last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. 
Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. 
But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

OUTNUMBERED SERIES 1,2 AND 3 + CHRISTMAS SPECIAL BOX SET [DVD]


OUTNUMBERED SERIES 1,2 AND 3 + CHRISTMAS SPECIAL BOX SET [DVD]

Outnumbered is centred around the Brockmans, a middle class family living in South London, whose two parents are "outnumbered" by their three, somewhat unruly, children. 
Pete and Sue are a hard working, cash strapped couple who are hopelessly outgunned by their three children. The kids have it all covered; philosophy, politics, finance, religion, science, TV talent shows, homework... everything.
Jake, Ben and Karen are the centre of Pete and Sue's lives. And also the source of their worry, frustration, joy and bewilderment.

Part brilliant gag-packed comedy, part excruciatingly-recognisable insights into family life, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin's multi-award winning series is quite unlike any other family sitcom...
The programme has received critical acclaim for its semi-improvisational scripting and realistic portrayal of children and family life. Ratings have been average for its time slot, but the series has won a number of awards from the Comedy.co.uk awards, the Royal Television Society, the British Comedy Awards and the Broadcasting Press Guild. The first three series are available on DVD and the fourth has been broadcast in 2011.
