The Panasonic TX-P60ZT65 casts a longer shadow than its slender frame might suggest. It is, says it creators, the final word in plasma panel development. The most advanced PDP design to roll off Panasonic’s production line, albeit in limited quantities, the brand says it simply can’t take the technology further in any way than makes economic sense. So what we have here is the culmination of years of development, with a lineage that can be traced back through both Panasonic and Pioneer. The result is, quite simply, the best Full HD image you can buy today. 

Six stories. Three directors. One unfilmable novel. Cloud Atlas should be an absolute mess. Only, it's not. Instead, Cloud Atlas is an ambitious $100million mix of blockbuster spectacle and art house ambition – the likes of which we'll probably never see again.

For most people, the process of piecing together a home cinema system is sheer bliss. Dealer auditions, studying spec sheets, poring over reviews to sniff out that perfect amp/speaker combo – for the seasoned enthusiast it’s like a trip to Alton Towers. But for others, it’s like being poked in the eye with a stick. That’s the beauty of the all-in-one system: you get a complete setup in a single box, eliminating all the hassle and leaving you more time to actually sit down and watch movies.

Now here's a fitting way of celebrating Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. Not only is The Mind of Evil the last John Pertwee story to be released on DVD –excluding any future ‘Revisitations’ of previous Third Doctor DVDs - but this release is also the first time that the six episodes have been seen in colour in decades (click here for how and why). The recolourisation is generally impressive – especially Stuart Humphryes' work on episode one – although the quality varies from episode to episode. As we’ve come to expect from the Doctor Who DVD range, the non-anamorphic 1.33:1 transfer is technically excellent, as is the Dolby Digital dual-mono soundtrack.
