Easter Viewing


Sex and the City. The Essential Collection: Seasons 1-6
I don’t know if I could ever get bored of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte and I’m sure lots of you feel the same. I know there’s lots of people who religiously watched every single episode back when it was on our television screens, but perhaps some people missed a few and this Boxset provides the opportunity to make sure no episode is missed! Follow New York writer Carrie Bradshaw and her three fantastic girlfriends and their experiences with love, careers, sex, and of course...fashion! It’s also a perfect excuse for a few girly cocktail nights with your friends, not forgetting the most important drink...the iconic cosmopolitan.

The Inbetweeners: Series 1-3
One of my favourite shows yet and I’m sure you’ve heard at least one person in your household mention this hilarious programme. This channel 4 gem centres around four oddball school mates who all share the same aspirations – pulling girls and appearing cool. Unfortunately things never go smoothly for Will, Jay, Neil and Simon. The foursome get themselves into loads of sticky situations and each episode is filled with plenty of cringe worthy and LOL moments. There is also a film out which I highly recommend renting out after you have watched some of the episodes, so that you can appreciate each boy’s personality and stupidity. I have to warn you The Inbetweeners is very rude so if you’re sensitive to bad language etc give it a miss.

F.r.i.e.n.d.s Seasons 1-10
How could this classic not be on the list? Friends will definitely keep you occupied for a few nights. I personally never grow tired of the show and could probably tell you every sentence in each episode but who cares its hilarious! Remind yourself why you originally fell in love with Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler (Chandler’s my favourite) and follow the group of friends in their everyday lives and their relationships with each other. I really wish they would follow in the footsteps of SATC and make a film for us all!

Fast and Furious 1-5
Right ladies send your husbands, boyfriends, sons etc to the other TV room while you get stuck into your girly Boxsets and set them down these five Fast and Furious films with some pizza and crisps and you’ll not hear a peep out of them for a few hours. That’s not to say you can’t gatecrash and drool over the gorgeous Paul Walker and Vin Diesel while stealing all the food! These action packed car films follow the story of street racers Brian O’Conner (Walker) and Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and all the different relationships forged along the way. The films are filled with excitement, action and very, very nice cars. The only film in the franchise that is different from the others is number 4 titled Tokyo Drift as it follows a teenager who gets sent to live with his dad in Tokyo following his arrest for illegal street racing. However he falls into contact with all the first class street racers of Tokyo as well as some first class criminals! All in all the Fast and Furious Boxset is a great option for the males in your lives to either escape evenings of SATC and Friends, or even a great suggestion for a “lads” night in with some beer and food!
