Horses For Courses - Das Wanderlust

Only fools and horses

Advantages: great fun and lots of laughter
Disadvantages: not enough episodes

Only fools and horses began its life in 1981, penned by John Sullivan, who also wrote Citizen Smith. The seven series, (and 19 Christmas specials) lasted through till 2003 and revolved around two main characters, Derek (Del)Trotter, (played by David Jason) and his younger brother Rodney, (played by Nicholas Lyndhurst), they lived at 23 Nelson Mandela house, a block of high rise flats in Peckham and drove a bright yellow three wheeled van with 'Trotters Independent Traders' painted on it. Derek, or Del boy as everyone knew him, was a trader of sorts, ducking and diving through life, buying and selling anything he and his brother Rodney could get there hands on.

HORSES FOR COURSES or just ARTS DISCRIMINATION

Advantages: Consider your future career path
Disadvantages: There can be discrimination

Big step - further education and the important qualificiation at the end but is a BA now equally as valuable as a BSc? The question of what constitutes, and how to do 'science' has been subject to lengthy argument and debate ~ such is the reverence that is afforded to all science disciplines.

Das Boot Torpedoes U-571 Again

Advantages: The best submarine drama to date
Disadvantages: Very long

It was only after watching my newly acquired copy of U-571 the other day that prompted me to dust-off my DVD of Das Boot (Director’s Cut) and give it another look. In the past, this movie has been seen in several formats. Serialised on BBC2 and in standard movie length being two of them. The DVD version runs for 200 minutes – and that’s just the movie! I suspect that this is closer in length to the TV mini-series in content than the normal movie. The advantage of the DVD format, is that you can hear the soundtrack dubbed into English, or for the purist, in German with or without English* subtitles, which is, of course, much closer to the original. Tip – If you speak any German, see if you can spot the points where the somewhat primmer English subtitles deviate from the more lavatorial German dialogue ...
