Ronnie Barker:
Porridge
“Norman Stanley Fletcher… you are an habitual criminal who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner…”
‘Fletch’, sentenced to a five year stretch at HM Prison Slade in darkest Cumbria, is determined to keep his head down, do his time and not let the b*****s grind him down. But it’s not so simple when you’re an old lag. His naive cell-mate Lenny Godber needs to learn the ropes, skives
and scams; evil Prison Officer Mr Mackay can’t be allowed to run things
his own way and warden Mr Barrowclough is just too weak-willed not to have his good-nature exploited…
“Ronnie Barker will be remembered for Fletcher in Porridge long after everything else he was in has faded from memory.”
Daily Express
SERIES 1, SERIES 2, SERIES 3 + two Christmas Specials
£39.14
The Two Ronnie’s
From 1971-87, over 12 series, four Christmas specials and two classic silent films, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett combined to produce one of the most popular television comedy series ever made.
From their introduction, “And in a packed programme tonight…” to the “Goodnight from him” finale, viewers savoured every moment. The “Four Candles” and “Mastermind” sketches, the Piggy Malone and Charley Farley stories and the hilarious musical numbers have a special place in viewers’ hearts, but these series are packed with so many moments
of comic genius.
The collection comprises all 93 episodes from the series, including the four Christmas specials, as well as the two silent films and Corbett’s 2010 programme, ‘The One Ronnie’, which featured special guests including Harry Enfield, Catherine Tate, Miranda Hart, David Walliams and Matt Lucas.
£71.48
Wartime Comedy:
It Ain’t Half Hot Mum
This complete collection contains all eight series of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, the classic BBC comedy series which follows the exploits of a Royal Artillery Concert Party in India (and later, Burma) during the Second World War.
Running from 1974 until 1981, It Ain’t Half Hot Mum was one of the most popular comedies on British television. David Croft and Jimmy Perry, writers of Dad’s Army, once again established a brilliant group of comic characters including the bombastic, eye-rolling Battery Sergeant Major Williams; Indian Bearer Rangi Ram; drag artist Bombardier ‘Gloria’ Beaumont; diminutive Gunner ‘Lofty’ Sugden with a hauntingly beautiful singing voice, and the effete and ineffectual Captain Ashwood.
£59.99
Dad’s Army
The wartime antics of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard were an essential part of the nation’s entertainment in the years spanning 1968 to 1977. Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson, Corporal Jones and Privates Pike, Godfrey, Walker and Frazer would create enough hilarity in their own incompetence and heroic, if misplaced endeavours, but add a vicar, a verger, an overbearing ARP warden – and Pike’s mum and the whole thing gelled into a comedy masterpiece. Dad’s Army had the lot: class tension; comic characters; farcical situations and hilarious scripts by Jimmy Perry and David Croft and is cherished as one of the nation’s favourite situation comedies.
Contains Complete Series One, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine,
The Christmas Specials and all 3 surviving episodes of Series Two.
14
£45.95
Classic Comedy:
Only Fools & Horses
The first ever episode of Only Fools and Horses was broadcast in September 1981. Over seven series and fifteen specials, Del, Rodders and the gang have given us so many precious moments – the chandelier incident, the yuppy bar fall, the Batman and Robin chase – but it is the characters, the storylines and the great scripts that have earned Only Fools and Horses the enduring love of the public. Every “lovely jubbly”, every exhaust-smoking trip of the Reliant Robin and every tear-filled twist kept millions of viewers glued. And they are all here – in the complete story of the Trotters of Nelson Mandela House: from the very first scam to the final ‘bonjour’.
INCLUDES ALL 7 SERIES AND
15 CHRISTMAS SPECIALS.
Also includes
‘The Story of Only Fools and Horses’
behind the scenes special DVD from 2002.
£59.22

How to Give Gifts that Won’t Be Forgotten
With the festive season fast approaching, it’s a good time to start thinking about the gifts you’ll be giving. While it’s always the thought that counts, you don’t want people to be wondering what in the world you were thinking when you got them their gift. Fortunately, Cape Union Mart has some tips on how to give gifts that people won’t forget (for the right reasons).
Practical
When you’re a kid, practical gifts are the worst, but as you get older you come to appreciate useful gadgets that improve your life. One practical gift that is ideal for almost any recipient from avid adventurers to braai masters is the Kaliber Survival Knife (R699, available for purchase in-store and online). This lightweight tool comes equipped with a comfortable moulded ABS handle and a black oxidised blade coating that prevents corrosion. Plus, it is packaged with a fire starter and a knife sharpener – the utmost in practicality.
141421 (Adventure 60L Backpack) Blue
Another practical present is the K-Way Venture 60L Backpack (R1,599, available for purchase in-store and online). Ideal of course for exploring, this backpack features an Air-vantage Adjustment System that allows you to customise your fit, a rain cover, built-in hydration sleeve and multiple compression straps so you can shrink or expand the pack as required.
136064 (K-Way Men’s Explorer Traveller Jacket)
For the outdoorsman in your life, the K-Way Men’s Explorer Traveller Jacket (R899 available for purchase in-store and online) is a must. He will stay protected from the elements with this lightweight water-repellent jacket that features UPF40+ protection from the sun, back mesh ventilation system and an elasticated hem and cuffs to prevent cold air from getting in.
130710 (Malkin 10 x 25 Roof Prism Binocular )
Multifunctional
Gifts that can be used in a myriad of ways will keep on giving. For instance, the Malkin 10 x 25 Roof Prism Binocular (R350, available for purchase in-store and online) can be used while bird watching but also during sporting events to get a better view of the action. Complete with an all-new design, this powerful, compact x10 binocular provides greater depth for a pleasurable viewing experience. It also features a 25mm objective diameter, eye cups for eye-glass wearers and a fine focus adjustable ring around each eyepiece to adapt to vision differences between the left and right eye.
133892 (K-Way Women’s Tempest Zip-off Trousers)
A pair of trousers that can be turned into shorts is a must-have for spontaneous adventure enthusiasts. The K-Way Tempest Zip-off Trousers (R999, available for purchase in-store and online) offer versatility, practicality and comfort that will take you from hot days to chilly evenings and support you on any adventure – planned or not. These expertly-designed zip-off trousers feature 4-way stretch nylon fabrication, integrated ribbing in the waistband for adjustability, a UPF 30+ finish and cargo pockets for extra storage.
142902 (Suunto 9)
Personal
There’s nothing more special than receiving a gift, that’s been carefully selected – with your personal preference being top of mind. When purchasing a personal gift, why not go the extra mile and invest in a gadget that will take the recipient on many adventures? The Suunto 9 (R9,999, available for purchase in-store and online) is a multisport GPS that tracks up to 120 hours of exercise activity and can withstand extreme conditions. Equipped with a wrist-based heart rate monitor and barometer, the Suunto is water resistant up to 100m and supports over 80 sport modes. Plus it has 25 hours battery life in Performance mode and up to 120 hours in Ultra mode. Alternatively, there’s pieces from the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Range (priced at between R13,499 and R13,999, available for purchase in-store and online). All the watches are WiFi-enabled and feature GroupTrack, music streaming, trendline popularity routing, advanced navigation sensors and preloaded maps.
142030 (DJI Tello)
Being able to look back on their adventures is also highly personal so think about gifting your loved one with a drone or GoPro. Drone flying has just become that much easier with the DJI Tello (R1,999, available for purchase in-store and online) which features automatic take-off and landing at just a single tap, along with failsafe protection to allow for safe landing even when the connection has been lost. This small and agile drone captures 5MP hi-res images with its electronic image stabilisation feature. Another drone option is the Parrot Anafi (R12,999, available for purchase in-store and online) which offers all the accessories you need to capture high-quality images and videos such as a smart battery, a carrying case, 16GB micro SD card, USB-A to USB-C cable, a mounting tool and eight additional propeller blades.

This 360 degree action camera enables images and videos to be shared straight to any smartphone that has the GoPro app downloaded. It is also waterproof with a built-in extension pole and tripod.

New proudly South African cocoa toothpaste – a proven mighty powerful formula
Proudly South African oral care innovator Olgani has a new addition to their outstanding all-natural range – Mighty Cocoa Toothpaste. Made with the antioxidant-rich ‘superfood’ cacao, the new toothpaste contains Theobromine, a water-insoluble alkaloid of the cacao plant. Cocoa in this form has proven to be more effective than fluoride for treating dental hypersensitivity; it also helps harden tooth enamel – making teeth less susceptible to decay, has anti-bacterial properties that help fight plaque and its well-documented anti-inflammatory properties help prevent gum disease.
The power-packed Mighty Cocoa helps protect and strengthen teeth and gums thanks to:
Cocoa – rich in minerals, vitamins and Theobromine;
Turmeric – boasts antiseptic, analgesic and antibacterial properties; helps reduce staining; proven to help stop tooth pain and prevent infections and abscesses;
Activated charcoal – effectively removes surface stains on teeth for a whiter brighter smile!
Olgani’s signature NutrireB blend of mineral-rich rice flour, Himalayan salt, sesame and coconut oil.
Himalayan salt is the mineral rich base of Mighty Cocoa and gives the toothpaste a fresh, salty taste. The nutrients in the salt – calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, silicon, sodium, nickel and iron – are all proven to help strengthen gums, protect against tartar and bad breath, and may even whiten your teeth over time. High in iodine, salt has antibacterial properties and helps neutralize acids in the mouth. Salt makes you salivate, and your saliva creates an antibacterial barrier that protects your enamel. Increased amounts of saliva act like a rinse removing food particles from in between teeth, preventing dental plaque build-up. Salt also helps alkalise saliva which stimulates a natural remineralization of tooth enamel.
Free from glycerine, fluoride and any artificial ingredients, the Olgani Mighty Cocoa Toothpaste is good enough to eat. It’s an excellent choice for those who prefer natural toothpaste without fluoride and safe to swallow, so is suitable for adults and children.
The new Mighty Cocoa Toothpaste is the latest in the Olgani Naturals range which includes their Herbal Refreshing Toothpaste; Mineral Rich Evening Toothpaste; Kids Fruity Orange Toothpaste; Detoxifying Charcoal Toothpaste, and also includes Olgani mouth wash and rinsing salts – Sage & Spearmint and Clove & Xylitol.
If you care about what you put into – and onto – your body, choose natural oral care from Olgani, made with love and ingredients that effectively clean your mouth and nourish your body.
The Olgani range is available online from Faithful to Nature and Wellness Warehouse and at selected Dis-Chem, Clicks stores and health shops nationwide for the following recommended selling prices; #OlganiMightyCocoa for approx R115.00.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Olgani story – “Health is a precious gift you give yourself.”
Olgani Naturals founder, Olga Niemkiewicz immigrated to South Africa from Poland in the 1980s with her husband in search of new beginnings.
“I grew up in a country that for political reasons was isolated from modern discoveries in body care products and agriculture, so we had to use what was available naturally. Nowadays you would say, we lived an organic life. And so the use of natural ingredients and wholesome food to protect and maintain health has been an integral part of my life since childhood” says Olga.
In 2004, she was diagnosed with a serious case of periodontal disease, the same problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Her dentist suggested removing the affected areas, however, Olga was not prepared to undergo surgery without a fight. “I knew that the operation would only be a temporary solution, and that the problem would return in a few years.”
Delighted with the abundance of natural ingredients and plant variants available in South Africa, Olga set out to remedy her oral health condition using her knowledge of natural remedies, rather than submit to the knife.
She formulated herbal brushing salts and after using them for four months, the amazed dentist confirmed that no operation was necessary. Over the coming years Olga’s “salts blend” enjoyed growing acclaim from friends with gum problems and this encouraged her to market it. In 2006 the first Olgani product ‒ Herbal Brushing Salts “Original” appeared on the shelves of selected health stores in Cape Town, followed by a range of salts to suit all ages and problems.
From the beginning Olgani committed to being a brand that cares about the entire human body. “Our products consider each ingredient and what the ingredient does, not only to improve our oral health, but as importantly, its overall health-promoting effect on our body as a whole.”
Instead of using glycerine, Olgani applies the principal of “oil pulling”, using sesame and coconut oils in their unique signature blend, NutrireB – a vitamin and mineral rich proprietary base of rice flour, sesame oil and sea salt.
If you’re looking for an intelligent, all-natural oral health care range that will nourish you as you brush your teeth and leave your mouth clean and fresh, Olgani Naturals is the range for you, and your entire family.
Note: Published studies confirm that gum disease has been linked to health problems like heart attack, stroke and diabetes.
The shoe fits for Sharks with LANX partnership
Luxury English shoe company, LANX, has partnered with Premiership Rugby team, Sale Sharks
Exclusive bespoke shoes have been produced for the team, featuring an embossed Shark fin on the heal of each shoe
Sale Sharks has paired up with leading English shoe specialists, LANX, in a new season-long partnership, which will see the players sporting the brand’s formal footwear.
The Whalley-based company will provide bespoke Sale Sharks footwear for staff and players at the club, having created a limited-edition range of business-casual shoes for the Premiership Rugby side.
Players at the club, which include England internationals Chris Ashton, Denny Solomona and Tom Curry, will wear the formal shoes travelling to and from games, as well as during public appearances throughout the season.
A specialist team of shoe-makers from LANX made paid a visit to the club’s training ground in Carrington to host an exclusive fitting, which can be seen online here.
“The new formal footwear has been made with some of the finest leather. On the inner sole and on the bottom of the shoe, the Sale Sharks badge has been embossed into the leather alongside the LANX logo, and a Sharks fin has also been etched into the leather of the heel.”
Mark Cueto, Sale Sharks’ Commercial Director and former player said: “It’s fantastic to have a new partner on board in LANX – an outstanding footwear brand based just down the road from us in Whalley.
“The players and staff will get to show off some of the finest English shoes through this partnership and we’re proud to welcome another leading North West business into the Sharks family.
“I’ve said this before, but as a player looking and feeling your best helps you to excel on the pitch. It breeds confidence and inspires professionalism, so as well as being a great partner for the club, companies like LANX can also play an important role in helping the lads on the pitch.”
To help launch the new partnership, LANX will be hosting a pop-up shop at the AJ Bell Stadium as Sale Sharks take on Northampton Saints in a Gallagher Premiership Rugby fixture on Saturday November 24.
Founder of LANX, Marco Vaghetti said, “Our shoes are based on classic designs with a Northern twist and our heritage is really important to us, which is why we’re so excited to partner with a club like Sale Sharks.
“With our shoes, we have fused overseas flair with solid British tradition, so having some of Sale’s international players showcase them this season is really exciting. We’re also excited to be involved in the Business Club and look forward to building stronger links with other brands and people that share our passion for style.”

HAPPY CHRISTMAS MOTOR RACING FANS!
The perfect Christmas present for the petrol head in your life – not to mention any partners who may not want to spend the entire GP weekend at the trackside! New for the 2019 British Grand Prix, the Silverstone Boutique Glamping Hotel is set in stunning countryside just a few miles from the famous GP circuit, with a Mercedes shuttle service for patrons, running ‘trackside to hotel’ day and night.
The luxuriously sized, lotus style tents, sleeping two or four, are carefully kitted out to provide the best possible comfort as befits a boutique hotel: raised beds and memory foam mattresses with top quality linen and duvets, cushions, lights, lanterns and rugs as standard. There’s a toiletry hamper in every tent with eye masks and ear plugs on the pillow to ensure the perfect night’s sleep. Even the fully tiled bathrooms are beautiful.
After a day watching the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Riccardo whizzing around the track, you’ll be driven back to the glamping village, where you can pop into the gin bar for a quick snifter before freshening up in one of the many hot clean showers. Maybe, as you stroll down the avenues to the pamper pod (straighteners and dryers always available), you could wave down one of the vintage bikes delivering glasses of ice-cold prosecco around the village, to sip as you get ready for the night ahead. And whilst you are otherwise engaged, the man in your life can visit the groom room where the on-site barber will treat him to a wet shave or even a haircut.
After that you’ll both be more than ready to join fellow racegoers in the cocktail bar before enjoying a three-course dinner in the fully waited restaurant. As the summer evening slowly fades to dusk, the nightclub will feature a different band and DJ set every night of the GP weekend. And did we mention the firepits? Just make sure that you don’t stay up too late, there is a race to watch – remember?
The Silverstone Boutique Glamping Hotel is providing a three-night package from July 12-15th from £1,320 for a two-four person tent rising to £1,840. Meals and drinks are extra but there will be all inclusive food package options available nearer to the date.
