Adolescent wizard-in-training Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for another year of schooling and learns more about the dark past of the boy who grew up to become Lord Voldemort in this, the sixth installment of the film series that originated from the writings of author J.K. Rowling. There was a time when Hogwarts was thought of as a safe haven, but thanks to Voldemort's tightening grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds, that simply isn't the case anymore. Suspecting that the castle may even harbour an outright threat, Harry finds his investigation into the matter sidelined by Dumbledore's attempts to prepare him for the monumental battle looming ever closer on the horizon. In order to discover the key to Voldemort's defences, Dumbledore enlists the aid of resourceful yet unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, who may have a clue as to their enemy's Achilles' heel. Meanwhile, teenage hormones cause the students at Hogwarts to lose focus on their true mission. As Harry and Dean Thomas clash for the affections of the lovely Ginny, Romilda
Vane attempts to woo Ron away from Lavender Brown with some particularly tasty chocolates. Even Hermione isn't immune from the love bug, though she tries her hardest to suppress her growing jealousy and keep her emotions bottled up. But there is one student who remains completely aloof from the romance blossoming all around, and he intends to leave a dark impression on his classmates. With tragedy looming ever closer, it begins to appear as if peace will prove elusive in Hogwarts for some time to come.
Gavin and Stacey have moved to Wales. Stacey couldn't be happier now she’s back with her mum Gwen, her uncle Bryn and a daily diet of omelettes. Gavin on the other hand is adjusting to life in Barry, and although he won't admit it, he's missing his parents Pam and Mick and of course, his best friend Smithy.

In the third and final series of this award winning comedy, we find out once again that there’s nothing predictable about families and friends…whichever side of the Severn Bridge they live on.

The Red Baron - The true story of Manfred von Richthofen (2DVDs) This documentary tells the true story of Manfred von Richthofen, using sensational original footage shot during the 1st world war. It covers his life from his birth in Schlesien through to the flying exploits of this German hero, including the dog fights which began in June 1917 in Flandern. In the air, the Allies maintained air superiority. All available German hunter squadrons were thrown into the battle in order to subdue their opponent. Richthofen and his fellow pilots mastered the tasks given to them brilliantly. The four hunter squadrons of the JG 1 took over the airspace within an incredibly short two weeks - achieving 40 air victories. Then catastrophe struck and Richthofen did not return after an enemy flight! What happened? The answer to that question, which has been asked for almost a century, is finally revealed in this stunning documentary about one of the greatest German air force heroes.

Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the
hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens
were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home
in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them.
Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been
contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in
the aliens’ welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’
powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires
alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU
begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible
for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe
(Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly
becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable – he is the
key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracised and friendless, there
is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.
