The day before DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts went to see The Raconteurs in Manchester, he ventured to Prestatyn to see class acts such as backing singers The Andantes, plus the seven-piece Midnight Hour Soul Band and The Countours, all of whom performed over an entire weekend. Legends of Motown & Soul Weekender: Live in Prestatyn is online now.

October 30th: Take a stand with the X-Men on DVD... I never read the comics and the first film didn't do it for me, but the second film completely turned things around but with one main character dead by the end of the second film, who will be up for the chop this time? And, anyway, there's always scores more mutants to take their place, surely? Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry are joined by Kelsey Grammar, Ellen Page and even Vinnie Jones for this latest outing, but will it be their last? X-Men: The Last Stand is online and out now on DVD.

What next for Jack White? The Raconteurs Live in Manchester... The White Stripes are no more and, according to DVDfever.co.uk reviewer Elly Roberts, Jack White is the new guitar god. I think, therefore, that this review of a recent gig with the man at the Manchester Apollo is going to go in his favour. The Raconteurs: Live in Manchester is online now.

Torchwood complaints on the DVDfever YouTube channel... Yesterday on Points of View, complaints about this new series (apart from it being crap) ranged from the fact it wasn't advertised as being on a non-digital channel to the huuuuuuuuuuuuge logo covering Captain Jack's head at one point. See what all the fuss was about by clicking on the YouTube logo on the right. Also added recently are a couple of trailers for last night's Royle Family special, several trailers for the recent second series of Extras, Matthew Wright throwing a strop when George Foreman failed to turn up on his show and the time on Working Lunch when Adam Shaw put on a Cyberman toy helmet...

Torchwood - the episode 3 trailer... Russell T. Davies' Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood, really was a load of old twaddle and just perceived to be the Angel/Buffy rip-off RTD always wanted to make with pointless post-watershed profanities and unnecessary sex scenes between all genders as well as aliens. Still, someone must like it so for those of you, click on the Youtube logo for the trailer for episode 3, check back regularly for more additions and feel free to subscribe so you get instantly notified of anything new that's uploaded.

Snooker player Paul Hunter loses his battle with cancer... Last night, snooker player Paul Hunter lost his battle with cancer after first having been diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine tumours on the lining of his stomach in March 2005. I'm a big fan of snooker and I was really sorry to hear about this as I thought he was in remission and 27 is no age to die, particularly given that his daughter was only born on Boxing Day last year. He always came across as a top bloke on TV and put on a brave face at both World Snooker Championships in 2005 and 2006. I know there's a few snooker tournaments to come between now and WSC 2007 but I bet there'll be tributes aplenty at the latter. If you click on the picture of Paul Hunter, right, it'll take you to the BBC's website with tributes from many of the key snooker players over the years including Willie Thorne who said "Deep down I think we all thought he was going to beat the disease" and John Parrott who said Hunter was referred to as "The Beckham of the baize".

F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon is online and out now on PC.

Hark back to good times with Level 42 on CD...

Level 42: Retroglide is online and out on CD now.
