Können sie die Zeichen deuten und das Unglück verhindern? Dickens, der große Realist des 19. Jahrhunderts, einmal anders: übernatürlich, unheimlich, verstörend. Die Affenpfote: Die Kurzerzählung 'Die Affenpfote' (Originaltitel: 'The Monkey's Paw') wurde erstmals in dem 1902 erschienenen Kurzgeschichtenband 'The Lady of the Barge' veröffentlicht. Sie gilt als eine der berühmtesten Kurzgeschichten der englischen phantastischen Literatur.

    Inspector Barnaby - Vol. 9 (DVD)
    Inspector Barnaby (Midsomer Murders) ist die erfolgreichste britische Fernsehkrimiserie nach den preisgekrönten Romanen der Bestsellerautorin Caroline Graham. Sie behandelt die Fälle des DCI Tom Barnaby und spielt im fiktiven Midsomer County. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die malerischen kleinen englischen Dörfchen vor allem an die Miss Marple-Krimis Agatha Christies erinnern, erzielte die Serie in Großbritannien sehr große Erfolge. Die Verbindung aus Spannung und Humor auf charmant-skurrile Weise erreicht im ZDF ein Millionenpublikum. Inspector Barnaby (John Nettles) und sein gewissenhafter Kollege gehen unermüdlich brutalen Verbrechen nach, die die friedvolle Grafschaft Midsomer mit ihren exzentrischen Bewohnern immer wieder erschüttern. Der Pilotfilm erreichte bei seiner Ausstrahlung 13,5 Millionen Zuschauer und war damit der quotenstärkste Film des Jahres 2005 in Großbritannien. DVD 1 - Kameraschüsse Ein Mitglied der angesehenen Fotografischen Gesellschaft in Midsomer wird ermordet; wenig später der Wortführer des gegnerischen Vereins der Digital-Fotografen. In den Fall ist offensichtlich eine ehemalige Freundin von Barnaby verwickelt. Sein Chef hält ihn für befangen und entzieht ihm den Fall. Heimlich ermittelt der Inspector weiter. Sein Assistent Jones ist nicht nur ferngesteuerter Laufbursche, er muss zusätzlich den argwöhnischen Chef ablenken. DVD 2 - Treu bis in den Tod Fast alle Dorfbewohner haben Alan Hollingsworth ihr Geld anvertraut, um in ein Zentrum für das lokale Kunsthandwerk zu investieren. Erst verschwindet das Geld, dann Alans Frau Simone. Die Betrogenen lassen Alan observieren, doch er entwischt. Seine Nachbarin kommt bei einem seltsamen Unfall zu Tode, als sie ihn verfolgt und wenig später wird Alan selbst ermordet. Plötzlich taucht Simone lebendig wieder auf. Barnaby löst auch diesen rätselhaften Fall. DVD 3 - Ein Toter, den niemand vermisst Fuchsjagd in Upper Marshwood. Am Tag danach wird ein Landstreicher erschlagen aufgefunden. Superintendent Ron Pringle bearbeitet den Fall, seinen letzten vor der Pensionierung und verhaftet einen jungen Wilderer aus dem Dorf. Zu Unrecht, glaubt Barnaby, zumal ein weiterer Mord geschieht und Ron selbst bei einem Reitunfall stirbt. Barnaby ist überzeugt, dies sei der dritte Mord von ein- und demselben Täter. DVD 4 - Drei tote alte Damen Inspector Barnaby nimmt ein paar Tage Urlaub, um sein Haus zu renovieren. Beim Besuch seiner Lieblings-Tante Alice Bly erfährt er von dem Tod mehrerer alte Damen aus der Seniorenresidenz, allesamt für einen natürlichen Tod noch viel zu rüstig. Barnaby findet schnell heraus, dass sie kurz vor ihrem Tod ihr Testament geändert haben, nicht ganz freiwillig...Bonusmaterial:- InterviewDarsteller:Daniel Casey, Jane Wymark, Jason Hughes, John Nettles, Laura Howard

    Paris , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1871min
    City of love. City of splendour. City of terror. City of dreams. Inspired by the haunting, passionate story of the city of lights, this epic novel weaves a gripping tale of four families across the centuries: from the lies that spawn the noble line of de Cygne to the revolutionary Le Sourds who seek their destruction; from the Blanchards whose bourgeois respectability offers scant protection against scandal to the hard-working Gascons and their soaring ambitions. Over hundreds of years, these four families are bound by forbidden loves and marriages of convenience; dogged by vengeance and murderous secrets; torn apart by the irreconcilable differences of birth and faith, and brought together by the tumultuous history of their city. Paris bursts to life in the intrigue, corruption and glory of its people. Beloved author of Sarum, London, and New York, Edward Rutherfurd illuminates Paris as only he can: capturing the romance and everyday drama of the men and women who, in 2000 years, transformed a humble trading post on the muddy banks of the Seine into the most celebrated city in the world. ungekürzt.
