Buy The Spy Who Came In From The Cold


Dame Helen Mirren

Criminal Justice DVD:
I chose Criminal Justice because I've heard wonderful things about it and never saw it, also I have recently filmed The Tempest with Ben Whishaw and wanted to see his work.

Buy Criminal Justice

Elizabeth Gaskell Boxset DVD:
I chose the box sets of Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell because nobody does the 'classics' like the BBC. Everyone should have these in their DVD libraries and watching a classic well done on television always leads me back to re-reading the original book.

The Charles Dickens Collection DVD:

John Humphrys

I have chosen all the David Attenborough programmes because they represent the best television ever made. They do everything television should do - inform, educate and entertain - and they do it all brilliantly. They have opened the eyes of my children to the natural world in a way nothing else could have done and I'll always be grateful to Attenborough for that. He is, quite simply, the greatest public educator television has ever produced and no home should be without his programmes.
