This week we again enter the realm of UK video and dvd. We have chosen ten films, and taken the publicity blurb written on the front of the case from each. We have kindly accompanied every blurb with three films it might have come from. All you have to do is sort out which of the three possible answers is the correct one.

It was kindly pointed out the last time we ran this kind of quiz that not all blurb's on front covers are the same in every country, so please note that all blurb's have been taken from UK video's and DVD's.

If you would like to send your answers to us here at we will give
you a mention in next week's edition. An email address has been handily provided for you below the
