In 1958 Rock'n Roll was king and every kid dreamed of being a star. For 17-year-old Richie Valens that dream was to become reality in just eight short months as his first three singles - 'Come On, Let's Go', 'Donna' and 'La Bamba' became international chart-toppers. But at the height of his popularity tragedy struck one stormy night when he boarded a plane with the great Buddy Holly. Lou Diamond Phillips gives a dynamic performance and the music is superbly recreated by Los Lobos.

Many criminals made the mistake of underestimating Lieutenant Columbo, a homicide investigator with a crumpled trench-coat and a beat-up car, who certainly acted as an incompetent bumbler. But he was so polite to every suspect, and he talked so much about his wife (who we never got to see on any episode, but who many believe later had her own show, starring Kate Mulgrew, later of Star Trek: Voyager fame) that he lulled even the shrewdest murderer into a false sense of security. And although the audience had witnessed the murder in the beginning of each episode, it was still a surprise to see what mistakes the killers had made during the seemingly perfect murder. Episodes include: Forgotten Lady, A Case of Immunity, Identity Crisis, A Matter of Honor, Now You See Him, and Last Salute to the Commodore.
Three films. Scanners - Cameron Vale is living on the fringe of society, self induced due to his telepathic ability to read other people's minds. Darryl Revok has the same condition and is the head of an underground association of scanners that want world domination. When Vale is taken to Dr Paul Ruth as a result of supposed insanity, he's enlisted into a program that will involve him in a battle against his fellow scanners. Scanners II: The New Order - In order to take over the city, corrupt police commander Forrester intends to use a telepathic breed of human, Scanners. To control the Scanners, Forrester enlists the help of evil scientist, Dr Morse, who wants to conduct mind control experiments on the Scanners with a new drug. Unfortunately the side effects render the scanners incapable, so Forrester finds David Kellum, a good, rational scanner who, unaware of his own powers, agrees to work with him. Scanners III: The Takeover - A young, lovable scanner with extraordinary telepathic powers transforms into a murderous megalomaniac after taking one of her father's experimental drugs. After taking over the pharmaceutical drugs company, the deranged scanner runs amok on a killing spree and takes over a television company in her quest for world domination. Will her scanner brother, fresh from a spell in a Thai Monastery, have the power to stop her?
