It’s that time of year of again when we start scouring the internet for gift ideas. Luckily, Acorn media have served up another platter of top notch dramas for you to acquire this holiday season.
BBC One’s brilliantly clever 2013 drama Mayday comes to Acorn DVD on the 23 November. Starring Aiden Gillen (Batman: The Dark Knight Rises) it is full of more twists and turns than the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. The five part drama is based around a straightforward topic – the murder of a young woman. The events thereafter are handled in a rather unusual manner.

Steed The Avengers
B Van Heusen
The Avengers is one of the most popular shows in British TV history. Sadly, many of the episodes from the first year of the show no longer exist. However, Big Finish — the production company behind the Doctor Who audio stories — are bringing the lost episodes back to life.
Production is under way on audio adaptations of the original season one scripts. Writer John Dorney has adapted the stories for the new format. Julian Wadham (Father Brown) plays Steed, Anthony Howell (Foyle’s War) takes on the role of Dr Keel while Lucy Briggs-Owen is cast as Carol Wilson. Guest stars include Doctor Who duo Colin Baker and Sophie Aldred. The finished stories will be released on CD and in digital format early next year.
