Star Trek on Blu-Ray from £49.99

Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection (Blu-Ray)    Star Trek: Legends of the Final Frontier Collection (Blu-Ray)

Whilst the Star Trek franchise has always appealed to many science fiction fans, only the more recent "reboot" has managed to fully cross over to a mainstream audience – however, it's worth noting that many of the previous films were actually pretty good as well.

Inside the Star Trek: Motion Picture Collection (Blu-Ray) boxset you'll find the first six films, from Star Trek: The Motion Picture through to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Loads of bonus material is included with this one too, for good measure. Click here to get this for £49.99 from Amazon.

Meanwhile, the Star Trek: Legends of the Final Frontier Collection Blu-Ray set holds the first ten films in the series (including the six in the boxset above). This comes with far too many extras to list here – suffice to say, they'll keep you busy for some time to come! Click here to get this for £74.97, again from Amazon.

Six Feet Under: The Complete Collector's Edition

Six Feet Under is a U.S. drama series that centres on the Fisher & Sons funeral home, and explores the lives of the Fisher family after the death of the family patriarch. Nice little pun they've done with the title as well – six feet is the depth at which bodies are buried you see.

On the Buses: The Complete Series £24.95

On the Buses: The Complete Series

On the Buses is a British situation comedy that was rejected by the BBC, which led to the creators instead offering the show to ITV – who snapped it up and subsequently turned it into one of the most famous series' we've ever had.

The On the Buses: The Complete Series boxset contains all 74 episodes that were ever produced, along with the first installment of spin-off "Don't Drink the Water" (which is about the adventures of Blakey in Spain).

The Complete Murder in Mind £17.87

The Complete Murder in Mind boxset contains some nine cheap DVDs

Muder in Mind was a BBC drama show that examined what it's like to kill, and why people do it in the first place. The subject matters addressed are quite deep and include euthanasia, accidental murder, contract killing, revenge and a sleepwalker who knows that she's done something but not what or to whom.

The Complete Murder in Mind boxset contains all 23 episodes ever made across nine discs. Also included is the unaired pilot, which is quite different from the rest of a very underrated show (which not too many people have seen, rather tragically).

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I-III) £13.97


Whilst the original trilogy of Star Wars films still stand up as some of the best science fiction movies ever made, the long awaited prequels never really stood a chance of matching their greatness – although there are one or two iconic scenes that take place.

Inside the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I-III) boxset you'll find double disc versions of The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith. These come with hours of extra features, including audio commentaries, extensive documentaries and deleted scenes.

Count Duckula: The Complete Collection £12.85

Count Duckula: The Complete Collection

I'm not sure that it's an entirely known fact, but the classic British animated series Count Duckula was actually a spin-off from Danger Mouse – with both characters just happening to be voiced by David Jason (more known for his roles in Only Fools and Horses and A Touch of Frost).

Inside the Count Duckula: The Complete Collection boxset you'll find all 65 episodes ever produced. Sadly there are no extra features included, which feels like something of a missed opportunity in my opinion.

The Hut are selling this set for £12.85 – click here for more details. You can also get at least £1 off by using the discounts at The Hut this weekend.

To everyone else, it's an animated show about the world's greatest mouse detective and his bumbling sidekick Penfold who go on a series of dangerous and death-defying missions.

The Danger Mouse: 25th Anniversary Ultimate Collection boxset is a 12 disc set that contains all 161 episodes ever made. Not only that, but you also get some very good bonus material – which includes the pilot episode, interviews and a selection of interactive games.

The Shrek Trilogy £9.47

The Shrek Trilogy

Even though they were made for kids, the Shrek trilogy appeals to adults as well – this is probably down to the all-star cast, and the fact that some of the jokes are a bit more risqué than you might expect (nothing too strong though!).

Each film has Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) dealing with all kinds of madness that happens in his life. From Donkey (Eddie Murphy) through to Fiona (Cameron Diaz), he's never short of friends – or trouble!
