Ultimate Force: The Complete Series £10.99

Ultimate Force: The Complete Series

Ross Kemp plays Sergeant Henno Garvie, the tough and charismatic leader of the fictional Red Troop of the SAS, in the action and drama series Ultimate Force. He and the members of his team are never afraid to put their lives on the line in the name of their country.

Ultimate Force: The Complete Series is an eight disc set that contains all 21 feature-length episodes from the four series' that were produced. There are also documentaries looking at the making of the first three years, although the fourth oddly doesn't have anything (ITV didn't air the complete final series for some time, so I presume they pretty much washed their hands of the whole thing).

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince £5.99

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth film in the series based on J. K. Rowling's still incredibly popular books. Interestingly, it's not only been a hit with fans (as you'd expect), but with those often-very-hard-to-please critics as well…

This double disc set comes with far too many extra features to list here, but hat I will say is that there are more behind-the-scenes featurettes than you can shake a broomstick at.

The Munsters: The Complete First Season £5.49

The Munsters: The Complete First Season

While it's usually compared to The Addams Family (which was also running at the same time in the 1960's and had a similar look), The Munsters was actually the more popular of the two – the fact that they were supposed to be more of a blue-collar family probably helped this.

Inside The Munsters: The Complete First Season boxset you'll find the first 38 episodes. Also included is the unedited colour version of the pilot "My Fair Munster".
