One of the most acclaimed celebrity fitness DVDs of recent times, Charlie Brooks’ Before And After Workout finds fitness trainer Dee Thresher putting the former soap star through her paces with a series of five ten minute workouts.

Brooks herself claims to have lost a couple of stone using the routines on the disc already, and it’s easy to believe why. And rather than, as some in the genre choose to do, focusing heavily on the celebrity, this fitness discs puts its firm emphasis on the workout routines. They’re explained clearly, are straightforward to follow, and there’s enough variety to ensure you don’t get bored.

The routines are of varying difficulty, and unless you’re already fighting fit, it’s feasible that you’ll have some trouble with them in the early days. But then that’s the point. And because none of the workouts outstay their welcome, there’s little reason not to stay motivated. Sure, you’ll end up working hard, but there’s nothing on this disc that outstays its welcome.

It’s surprising perhaps to find a fitness DVD that has earned such acclaim, but having followed Charlie Brooks’ Before And After Workout through, the plaudits are well deserved. So if you’ve ever been frustrated by a celebrity workout disc that’s proven to be more about the former than the latter, then this will be a very welcome treat.–Ann Foster

It’s here. It’s back. And it’s just as dashed difficult as you remember. Curse of the early 1980s and most sought-after distraction at school breaktime (even moreso than the automatic drinks machine) Erno Rubik’s masterful invention had the whole world scratching its collective head for years. Now you can scratch yours all over again. The cube – originally known as The Magic Cube – was nothing short of a global phenomenon. 300,000,000 have been sold worldwide, of which a staggering 100,000,000 changed hands in the period from 1980-82. And, with a impossibly large 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (that’s 43.2 quintillion) possible permutations, it’s no surprise that many of those original 300 million are now to be found slowly decomposing in landfill sites all over the world. This is the greatest shame of all. And the reason that gadgetshop can now procure you a mint version of the original to discombobulate your brain for old time’s sake. Now introducing Rubiks 360. It may sound easy, but be under no illusion, this is the hardest Rubik’s puzzle yet! Spin, twist, lock and rotate the transparent sphere; featuring niches that correspond to coloured spheres inside. The first true puzzle from Erno Rubik to challenge the classic cube for innovation and difficulty. The puzzle is provided pristine and complete. You may wish to keep it that way. Now go. Twist.

Product Description
August DA701C is an upgraded version of the popular model DA701B added with SD/MMC card reader and USB jack, and features of UK Teletext (It is believed that only August portable TVs support Teletext in the UK at present).

It is a 7″ portable LCD Freeview and analogue TV with built-in rechargeable battery, receives over 40 Freeview channels, 5 analogue channels and digital radio stations. It plays video, music, photos in MP3, WAV, MPEG4, AVI, JPEG formats directly from memory cards and via USB interface from external mass storage.

It is an ideal handheld TV and media player for holidays, cars, boats, bedrooms and kitchens and can also output TV, video and photos to a large sized screen in your home working as a Freeview box and digital media player.

Please note that there may be difficulty to receive Freeview TV signal by the included portable antenna in some areas in the UK at present where the signal is not sufficiently strong. This is due to that the Freeview service (freeview.co.uk) in the UK will not fully support portable TV antenna before completion of Digital Switchover (digitaluk.co.uk). The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Switchover Program. A signal amplifier or booster may improve reception capability in regions where the signal is marginally strong. (Please note that reception capability may also be affected by various factors such as proximity to Freeview TV/digital radio transmitters, tall building structures, thick walls, ceilings and etc.). A rooftop TV aerial may be required at present to watch Freeview channels in regions where the Switchover is yet complete.
