DVDs Now Out

Here’s some DVD news, there are a couple of shows out that are worth some of your cash.

First up following on from Alan Bleasdale’s GBH, Jake’s Progress and Melissa, Scully is now out on DVD. If you don’t remember it, it was about a young Liverpool fan’s dream of turning out for the Reds. Starring Andrew Schofield as Scully he got himself into a few scrapes along the way.

This was also the time Elvis Costello was trying his hand as an actor and he plays his brother. Who says very little.

My favourite character was Scully’s daft mate Mooey. “Come on baby light my fire.”

Scully began life as scripted stories on Radio Merseyside before appearing as Scully’s New Year’s Eve, a 1978 BBC Play For Today.

I think the synopsis in the picture is misleading however.

Another shgow now out on DVD with not quite as long a wait from broadcast is The Armando Ianucci Shows. An original look at the world, it has some smart satire and some very funny sketches.

Finally there is a preview of the Simpsons movie on the X-3 DVD, not out in America until 3 October.
