Heroes: Season One (Blu-Ray)    Heroes: Season Two (Blu-Ray)

Heroes is an American series which tells the stories of ordinary people who discover that they have superhuman powers, and how these affect their lives. Although initially a very exciting and watchable show, many have since become disillusioned with how it has progressed – will it continue for much longer?!?

Anyway, the high definition releases of the first two seasons look and sound absolutely fantastic. Both also come with tons of bonus material, which include multiple audio commentaries and featurettes looking at the making of the programme.

Star Trek: The Original Series £14.85

Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One    Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Two    Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Three

Star Trek: The Original Series is the name given to the very first incarnation of the long-running science fiction franchise, simply to distinguish it from both the recent big-screen film and the seemingly endless spin-offs that have appeared over the years.

Running for only three seasons, all of which have been remastered for these DVD releases, it came very close to being cancelled after only one year – something unthinkable when you look at the success some 44 years later.

Zavvi have Star Trek: The Original Series – Season One available for £14.85 – for more information, click here. They also have both Star Trek: The Original Series – Season Two (click here) and Star Trek: The Original Series – Season Three (click here) for the same price.

Father Ted: The Definitive Collection £17.85
