The remarkable career of the movie industry's most admired and influential special-effects auteur, the legendary Ray Harryhausen, is the subject of Gilles Penso's definitive documentary 'Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan'.

Leaving no doubt as to Harryhausen's seminal influence on modern-day special effects, the documentary features enlightening and entertaining interviews with the man himself, Randy Cook, Peter Jackson, Nick Park, Phil Tippett, Terry Gilliam, Dennis Muren, John Landis, Guillermo del Toro, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and many more.

It's been hailed as ''stunning'' (Diabolique Magazine), ''brilliant'' (AV Club) and ''mind-blowingly epic'' (Film Threat), and stands as perhaps the definitive genre documentary of our time.

From writer/director/co-producer Kier-La Janisse comes ''a seductive mega-text'' (Indiewire) through the history of folk horror, featuring clips from over 200 films and interviews with more than 50 filmmakers, authors and scholars that explore the rural roots, occult creeds and cultural lore that continue to shape international cinema. Severin Films presents this ''astounding achievement'' (Screen Anarchy) - also featuring an original score by Jim Williams (A Field in England), animation by Ashley Thorpe (Borley Rectory) and collage sequences by Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg) - that Rue Morgue calls ''an unprecedented journey into where folk horror has been, where it's going and ultimately what it says about humanity".

Things are looking decidedly bleak for British Intelligence, in both senses of the term. Smersh has begun to sabotage global stability; no less than 11 agents have been lost; and to make matters worse, our greatest secret agent, 007 is languishing in stately retirement.

M (John Huston) - together with the heads of the CIA (from Washington D.C.) and KGB (from the U.S.S.R.) - have only one hope: to bring Sir James Bond (David Niven) out of retirement and into the field. Finding himself pitched against an opposition of fiendish intensity - an array of female secret agents armed with explosive grouse; a baccarat-playing illusionist (Orson Welles); and a neurotic megalomaniac (Woody Allen) - Bond launches his brilliant plan... 'from now on, all agents will be known as James Bond, including the girls'. Baccarat-playing expert, Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers), is selected to penetrate the heart of the conspiracy, but first he must attend the James Bond training school. With a twisting, turning plot of almost surreal complication, and a cast to light up the galaxy, 'Casino Royale' is a quintessential, classic Bond extravanganza.

Groundbreaking Science-Fact series 'Doomwatch' is a BBC thriller exploring the real scientific dangers lurking behind some of our greatest fears.

Led by the gruff but incorruptible Doctor Spencer Quist (John Paul), the Doomwatch team struggle tirelessly to protect the people and planet from the never ending threat of science gone wrong. Quist is assisted by Doctor John Ridge (Simon Oates), a chemist and notorious ladies man with a decidedly shady past, and series heartthrob Tobias Wren (Robert Powell), a conscientious researcher who is deeply committed to his job. Over three dynamite series the team deal with genetic engineering, chemical waste, nuclear rockets, pollution, wildlife culls, terrorist plots and industrial sabotage, to name just a few. The appeal of the show lay in its commitment to exposing real scientific threats. An episode concerning the use of hormones in fish farming even sparked debate in Westminster! 'Doomwatch' was created by Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler, the creative duo behind one of Doctor Who's most memorable villains - the Cybermen. With an audience of 13 million, 'Doomwatch' saw popularity on an unprecedented scale for its Monday night slot and in our current age of anxiety over climate change, the stories and fears it uncovered are as palpable as ever. Now on video for the first time, this series collection comes with the BBC documentary The Cult of Doomwatch about the history and making of the programme and the incredible fandom it spawned. This collection also contains the previously un-transmitted episode 12 of Series 3 "Sex and Violence". Contains Episodes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 from Series 1, All episodes from Series 2, and episodes 4, 6, 12 from Series 3.
