 | "Love among the sand dunes" | 2008-10-14 |
Bluestocking, Daphne Pembroke is the very rich widow of self opinionated clergyman, Virgil Pembroke, who brain washed his child bride into thinking herself worthless and in all ways his inferior, is in reality a brilliant scholar and Egyptologist in an era when women were taught that to be clever and well educated was unwomanly. She travels a great deal with her brother who has gained the reputation for being a very clever scholar and thinker, an impression which brother and sister carefully cultivate, so as to protect her reputation. In Cairo, on a search for a rare papyrus, she meets Rupert Carsington, fourth son of the Earl of Hargate and, as a reader of romance novels might expect, this rather prim, starchy young woman falls head over heels for his very considerable charms. The story is filled with exciting adventures involving bandits, kidnapping, murserers, moonlit nights under the desrt stars and a good serving of well written, spicy sex..just the thing for a quick, enjoyable read!

 | The Onedin Line (Set 2) |
 | "Excellent second series" | 2008-10-09 |
This second in the series of a grand saefaring story concentrates more on the personalities of the characters, now that James Onedin's shipping fleet is established in a small way. James is still fired with ambition to own one of the world's best sailing fleets but is now, with his partner and brother-in-law, concentrating on building a steamship line, still much of an unknown quantity in those days. James's adventures take him into danger in the Ottoman Empire, under fire in the Franco Prussian war,running the British blockade off Carolina during the American Civil War and being at odds with slaving ship owners. It's a terrific "Boys Own" adventure story and great for family viewing

 | The Onedin Line (Set 1) |
| "Good seafaring story" | 2008-10-09 |
James Onedin is a sea captain on sailing ships, out of Liverpool in the 1860's, and just prior to the coming of steamships. He marries, in a marriage of convenience, the rather plain daughter of the owner of a small sailing ship, and from that start, plans to build a fleet which will carry cargoes all around the world. This ambitious man forges ahead with his plans with little concern for the rest of his family who have to scrimp and save to make a living while he pours back most of any profits into the building of a fleet. There is magnificent footage of some absolutely breathtakingly beautiful sailing ships, both schooners and clippers and acknowledgement is given to these, individually, at the end of all the episodes. This is a fine seafaring story for all of the family.

 | The Pallisers - The Complete Collection |
| "Wonderful costume drama" | 2008-09-08 |
This series is marvellous viewing for anyone who enjoys the political books of Anthony Trollope and loves costume dramas. Set in mid Victorian England, the story is one of aristocratic Plantaganet Palliser, heir to the Duke of Omnium and Gatherum, who enters into a marriage of convenience with wealthy, beautiful and very young aristocrat, Lady Glencora McCluskey. She assists him to rise in the ranks of the House of Commons as his clever hostess, doing all in her power to help him arrive at the highest eschelons of political power, firstly as Chancellor of the Exchequer and then as Prime Minister. The story then develops over the next 20 years or so with magnificent scenery, palatial country houses and the cream of the London salons. The costuming is magnificent with great attention to details of fashion, jewellery, hair styles and carriages, and is a joy to view. With the story veering between political and personal scandals, murder, high society gossip and starring a superb cast including Susan Hampshire, Derek Jacobi, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews and Penelope Keith, I would reccommend this set of 26 episodes to everyone.

 | Rome - The Complete First Season |
| "First in the series" | 2008-08-20 |
Everyone else has described the gist of the story so well that anything else I add would be totally superfluous,except to say that the costuming and make up are first rate and once you get over your initial shock at all of the exposed, even flaunted genitalia ( such as the sex slave sent as a gift to a very respectable Roman matron with his VERY large penis wrapped in twined gold ribbon), you quite soon get used to it all and take it for granted. I liked the idea of the Romans of all classes talking in what would be their proper accents, by the British actors, rather than some fancied up pseudo accent which was formerly used in sword and sandal movies years ago. Having a reasonable knowledge of the history of that era, I found it easy to follow the machinations of Pompey and Ceasar and their various cronies and thoroughly enjoyed this series.

 | Shadowlands |
| "Moving" | 2008-08-14 |
When C.S.Lewis, author of such books as "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" was only a small boy of 9, his mother died and he learned that his only way through the pain and loneliness was to encase himself in an impenetrable shell, so that pain could not touch him. He leads an ordered, safe life as an Oxford Don, singing in the cathedral choir and lecturing to audiences of adoring women readers. When he meets American writer, Joy Gresham, her brash, New York, Jewish forthrightness almost batters him but luckily he summons enough courage to begin a friendship. He agrees to marry her so as to allow her and her son to remain in England and gradually she softens his defences and becomes part of his life as a platonic friend. When they discover that Joy is dying from incurable cancer, Lewis realises the depth of his love for her which allows them to enjoy a brief few months together before she dies. Anthony Hopkins is brilliantly cast as Lewis and is such a fine actor that the viewer is able to see, in his eyes, everything that he is saying inwardly, while Debra Winger is equally as good as the loud American who is the foil for his timidity.

 | Iris |
| "Deeply moving" | 2008-08-09 |
Having just finished watching "Iris" on DVD, I'm still of two minds about having watched it. The performance by Dame Judi Dench is breathtakingly brilliant as the famous novelist and philosopher, Dame Iris Murdoch. The story encompasses her youth as a student at Oxford, her many love affairs and her terrible descent into dementia. As I saw Judi Dench gradually change from a brilliant woman into a screaming, flailing madwoman, her portrayal was enough to reduce me to tears as it was so accurately done and even the flatness of her eyes and lack of expression were perfect. Anyone who has been part of the life of a sufferer from Alzheimer's should be aware that this DVD will stir up bad memories at the physical and mental depiction of the sufferer and will recall all of the horrors. That I could be reduced to tears is due to the utter brilliance of Judi Dench as an actress, but I'm still not sure that I should have watched it!

| "Sexy fairy tale" | 2008-06-28 |
If you're in the mood for a real bodice ripper, complete with handsome prince and beautiful woman, this is for you. Caren's husband had left her for another woman and left her with a sense of total inadequacy in every aspect of her life when she took a holiday in Jamaica and, on her first night there, met the superbly handsome, world renowned playboy, Derek Allen.

Tired of the attentions of husband seeking socialites, Derek treats himself to a brief holiday in Jamaica, meets Caren and is struck by the thunderbolt! The story consists of detailed descriptions of love making, which are very well done and the usual misunderstandings of a courting couple. It's a very short story but filled with love, luxury, sex and romance...what more could a romance reader want?

 | Peter Allen - Very Best of |
| "Peter at his best" | 2008-06-25 |
This CD has 16 of Peter Allen's Best songs on it, songs which everyone knows and loves such as I Go To Rio; Everything Old is New Again; Tenterfield Saddler and of course, I Still Call Australia Home. Before his death, he was asked if he intended to write his autobiography, to which he replied that his songs WERE his autobiography. Listening to this CD left me with more than a touch of nostalgia and a little melancholy as this vibrant, hugely talented man sings from the heart and lets his listeners hear it. For Peter Allen fans, this CD is a must!

 | Masterpiece Theatre - Painted Lady (1997) |
| "Crime in the art world" | 2008-06-15 |
That excellent actress, Helen Mirren, stars in this story of the art world. Twenty years after having been known as of of the world's top blues vocalists, Maggie Sheridan is drawn from her now comfortable life as the friend and protege of Sir Charles Stafford and his son Sebastian, when firstly, Charles and then Sebastian are murdered and a mystery concerning the art collection they owned, comes to the fore. Maggie teams up with an Irish policeman to follow the clues leading to the murderer and the reasons for the murder. It's a rather involved story and one to which the viewer needs to pay close attention, but as usual, Helen Mirren does a fine job of portraying this former wild child of the sixties as she unravels the murky stories which emerge.

 | Jeeves & Wooster - The Complete First Season |
| "Jeeves at his best" | 2008-05-12 |
Yesterday I awarded myself a P.D.Wodehouse marathon in the form of Series 1 of the TV series, starring Stephen Fry as Jeeves, the perfect gentleman's gentleman and his employer, Bertie Wooster, played by Hugh Laurie, known to most viewers as Dr.House from the present day TV series. Both actors were 17 years younger and both were well suited to their respective roles. "Silly [...]" Bertie Wooster is a gangling, Eton educated, wealthy young man about town in the thirties in London and around the English countryside and he and his equally foggy cronies amuse themselves with sport, drinking and "getting up to great wheezes" which often involve baiting the members of the constabulary and ending up in front of the magistrate. Super suave, intelligent Jeeves is the perfect valet with immaculate taste and far more brain power than Bertie and his chums and is more often than not, the means of getting them out of scrapes. I suppose that the old Wodehouse stories are a matter of taste, but I still found myself laughing at the stories of Bertie and his endless tussles with his many aunts, and at the sheer lunacy of it all.

 | Tonight I Said Goodbye (Lincoln Perry) |
| "Russian mafia" | 2008-05-11 |
This is a superb effort by a new and very young author, Michael Koryta, who was only 21 when he wrote this novel in 2003. Former policeman, Lincoln Perry and his friend Joe Pritchard, also a former cop, have set up in business as private investigators and are hired by wealthy businessman, John Weston, to find out exactly what happened to his son, PI Wayne Weston, whose body has been found after what appears to be suicide. Weston's wife and young daughter are missing and the police are fearful that they may have been kidnapped and/or murdered. Lincoln and Joe follow a trail which leads through very murky waters, involving Russian mobsters and a few suspicious FBI Agents, with good, crisp dialogue and at a cracking pace. Now I can just hope that there's a follow up novel in what I hope will be a series.

 | Miss Wonderful |
| "Regency rake" | 2008-04-06 |
Alistair Carsington is the third son of the Earl of Hargate, and as merely a third son, is told by his father that he either has to do something to earn a living or find a wealthy heiress to marry. Alistair fought and was wounded at Waterloo, leaving him crippled in one leg and suffering from what would nowadays be recognised as battle trauma. Before enlisting in the army, he was a renowned rake, having affairs with females from all classes and costing his father a fortune in payouts to ensure their silence and cooperation. When he joins a friend in a scheme to bring coal more easily from the mines to the depots, he arrives at Oldridge Hall to attempt to pacify the landowners and to speed up the building of canals to bring the coal by barges. He meets his match when he has to do business with the daughter of the house, 31 year old Mirabel Oldridge, a confirmed spinster and a lady who can't bear the thought of canals cutting through the family property. It's a fun story with a lot more spice that anything written by Georgette Heyer.

 | The Cat Who Came to Breakfast by Lillian Jackson Braun, ISBN 1590071727 |
| "Island mystery" | 2008-03-11 |
This is another in the light and amusing series of stories of "The Cat Who"... Columnist and amateur crime solver, Jim Qwilleran and his two feline companions,Siamese beauties, Koko and Yum Yum, spend two weeks as guests of friends and B and B owners, Nick and Lori, at their holiday Inn and cabins, on Pear Island, also known as Breakfast Island. A series of "accidents" and two deaths has occured, driving away customers and driving a wedge even further between the developers and the native islanders. Koko, the cat, has supposedly physic powers and directs Jim in several directions with the use of dominoes and word games. It's a light, amusing read and a pleasant "in between" book.

 | Spring Collection |
| "Gorgeous pink froth!" | 2008-03-09 |
While admitting that this book isn't the greatest piece of fiction ever written, I'm awarding it 5 stars for the sheer enjoyment it gave me. As a model in a former, very distant life, the descriptions of the clothes, dressing rooms etc. are very close to real life, but coming from an era when models or mannequins as they were then called, weren't 6 feet tall or had their ribs sticking out, I would have been the first to have been intimidated by those beautiful amazons. The story concerns three girls who are all under contract to the same model agency and are just beginners. A contest has been arranged in Paris to show the first collection of a new designer, an unscrupulous sleaze who uses and abuses women and who preys on aspiring models. The actual story was a bit of pink fluff, but sprinkled with really great desciptions of marvellous clothes and spiced up with very intimate descriptions of the sex lives of the main players. Enjoy this when you feel like something light but very entertaining (if you enjoy fashion).

 | Victoria's Daughters |
| "Who'd want to be Princess!" | 2008-03-06 |
For all the pomp, ceremony and privileges of belonging to a Royal family, the chores, the duties, the self discipline and living your life in the public eye would make, for me, an onerous task, for which no amount of money or fame could make up. This book is a fascinating look at Victoria's daughters and how their lives were virtually mapped out for them at birth. In that era, Royal Princesses were expected to marry according to rank and for whatever alliances could be brought to their country. I had known a fair bit about the lives of the more well known daughters, such as the Empress of Germany, poor creature, whose early widowhood caused the rise to the throne by her lunatic son, William, the Kaiser who started WW1, but loved finding out about the private lives of several of the younger girls and their marriages and families, some of which worked out quite well and others which were an utter disaster. The tragedy of the haemophilia which was passed through the generations by Victoria's daughters brought sorrow to many of the girls who lost sons in infancy or when they were only very young men, was a constant terror among the Royal families of Europe, into which these daughters married, as there was no way of forecasting or curing any potential carrier. It's a great look into life in Victorian times.

 | House of Cards Trilogy, Vol. 3 - The Final Cut |
| "Grand finale" | 2008-03-05 |
In this, the third and final part of the series of The House of Cards, Ian Richardson as Prime Minister, Francis Urquhart, is almost bored as PM as he has achieved all that he set out to do, corrupting a large portion of the parliament and plunging the country into two distinct sides of "haves" and "have nots". Never before in Britain have there been streets filled with homeless and desperate people whom Francis percieves as being little more than animals. The limits to which this man will go are beginning to cause even his evil wife to question his sanity and the denouement is breathtaking in it's intensity...definitely a must see.

 | House of Cards 2 - To Play the King |
| "Even more "wow" effect!" | 2008-03-02 |
Having just finished watching series 2 of The House of Cards trilogy, the end left me with my eyes wide open, saying "wow"!, not usually one of my favourite expressions. In this series, Francis Urquhart is Prime Minister of Britain and is battling with the King on most of his governments policies, urging him to adopt more lenient policies regarding benefits for the poor and disadvantaged while Urquhart's party is distinctly right wing. The character of the King, played to perfection by actor Michael Kitchen (Foyle's War etc.)is clearly based on Prince Charles, using his speech patterns and bodily gestures and that of his sister(in the show) is based on his real lfe aunt, Princess Margaret. I usually combine watching any form of TV with needlework but, on this occasion, couldn't bear to tear my eyes away from the screen with these mesmerising scenes being played out, with stunning performances from all of the cast and with Ian Richardson playing his "baddie" role as effectively as any Shakesperian actor. I cannot recommend this series more highly and am now awaiting the third and last in the series, The Final Cut.

 | House of Cards Trilogy, Vol. 1 - House of Cards |
| "Breathtakingly good!" | 2008-03-02 |
Francis Urquhart describes himself as "just a back room boy" in British politics, being Chief Whip of the political party presently in power. In reality, this man is manipulative, corrupt and ambitious , pretending to be a friend to his party colleagues, but with an overweening and ruthless ambition to have sole control of power in Britain. His schemes become machiavellian and he stops at nothing, even murder, to achieve his goals. He learns every detail,good and bad about his rivals in the run up to an election, and systematically forces them to resign, leaving him as the only contendor. Ian Richardson is sensationally brilliant as F U, as he is generally known, dominating every scene as he gives the viewer a chilling, heart racing performance as this political giant and master of evil. The series was made some time ago but the scenario hasn't faded or changed and makes heart stopping viewing.

 | Into The Arms Of Strangers - Stories Of The Kindertransport |
| "Suffer the little children" | 2008-02-06 |
This is a moving and poignant real story about the rescue of ten thousand Jewish children from Nazi Germany in 1938 and 1939. Various charitable organisations worked out a scheme to send the children to foster homes and hostels and, at first, the Nazi's were only too willing to get rid of the children. The story is narrated by Dame Judi Dench and shows interviews with some of the now elderly escapees, who relate, in heart rending stories, the supreme sacrifices made by their parents, knowing that they would almost certainly never see their children again. The English families who accepted the children had to put up with the strange and admitted arrogance of these German Jewish children who had been raised as little princes and princesses in their homes(and this shows in some of their photographs), and who, in some cases, took years to realize the goodness of these people who took care of them for many years. It's a sobering look at Germany in these immediately pre war days.
