(12, 410 mins, Warner, DVD £29.99)
THE classic US soap opera, which originally ran from 1978 to 1991, continues with this glossy, contemporary update of the internal wranglings of the Ewing oil empire.
John Ross Ewing III (Josh Henderson), son of JR (Larry Hagman) and Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), has followed in his father’s immense footsteps and is determined to achieve power, fame and fortune through black gold.
However, he meets fierce resistance from Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe), the adopted son of Bobby (Patrick Duffy), who believes in putting family first and will do anything to protect Southfork Ranch. Adding to the tension, both young men are attracted to Elena Ramos (Jordana Brewster), daughter of the family cook, who has brains as well as beauty.
