SWIFT & SHIFT COURIERS – SERIES 2 (2-DVD Set)

Ian Turpie, Melissa Tkautz, Paul Fenech, Angry Anderson and Amanda Keller return in the second season of SWIFT & SHIFT COURIERS, the hilarious sitcom from the creators of PIZZA that follows the escapades and misadventures of the worst courier company in Australia.

With burning desire to bring Keith (Ian Turpie) and ‘Swift and Shift Couriers’ to a bloody end, Amanda (Amanda Keller) sets up a rival courier depot that diverts jobs to a call centre in India and imports their cheaper drivers, complete with TukTuks! It’s the usual disasters, stuff-ups, crazy driving and familiar faces – only this time the ineptitude has been doubled.

Release date: 5th October, 2011

Why was the world’s first great civilization also its longest-lasting? PLANET EGYPT gives a unique overview, from Dynasty Zero in 3000 BC to the end of the New Kingdom, and sheds light on the secrets of the Pharaoh’s empire and one of the most extraordinary civilisations to have ever existed. By means of dramatic re-enactments and lavish computer animations, entire cities are reconstructed in 3D animations and brought back to life.
