Liz Lemon, (Tina Fey) is the head writer on a variety series on NBC Studios. With the Jack Donaghy as Vice President of East Coast Television, played by Alec Baldwin, Series four sustains the same standard that has maintained it so far with plenty of exceptional moments. The characters are still all hugely dysfunctional and written with enormous affection and comic effect. The situations beautifully constructed. This set contains all the episodes from the show’s fourth series.

Charlie Kaufman is a screen writer struggling to adapt Susan Orlean's best selling novel "The Orchid Thief". As he tries to get to grips with his work Charlie must also deal with his twin brother/alter ego(?) Donald, a problem compounded by the gradual but seamless blending of reality and fiction. A surreal tale which defies the imagination of us mere mortals, Adaptation is an intelligent, crackingly performed, hilarious and perceptive flick, Spike Jonze's second feature lacks the "you what!!?" find out more...

A photo-journalist, returning from a fruitless trip to the States, has a small child, Alice, dumped on him in a New York airport. The pair journey across Germany searching for her home town, whose name and address Alice can't remember, the only clue they have is a photograph of her grandmother's front door with no house number and no one in the shot. Full of low-key charm, an eminently watchable road movie that closely foreshadowed "Paris Texas". find out more...

A middle-aged widower enters a relationship with a beautiful, docile, doll-like younger girl.
