Twin Peaks gets a second outing


Fans of twisted 1990s TV masterpiece Twin Peaks have been rejoicing since news hit that the complete two series box-set is available on DVD.


Die-hard viewers were left stewing after the series' madcap director David Lynch vowed that his hit homage to teen angst, daytime soaps, and murder mysteries would never be repeated on British TV.



Almost 20 years have now passed since FBI agent Dale Cooper (pictured above with the Little Man From Another Place), played by Kyle MacLachlan, arrived at the small Washington town Twin Peaks on the trail of a killer. When high school homecoming queen Laura Palmer (pictured below) is found brutally murdered MacLachlan's eccentric FBI agent is sent on a seemingly straightforward assignment which finds him slowly picking away the town's squeeky clean veneer to expose the kind of savagely dark critique of American society that Lynch has made his creative playground.




If you haven't seen or heard of Twin Peaks let your imagination off the hook and get your hands on the DVD box-set, if only to discover the macabre secrets that lurk in the woods.
