The Prisoner: The Complete Series (Blu-Ray) £33.67

The Prisoner: The Complete Series (Blu-Ray)

The Prisoner is a classic British show starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan that combined spy fiction with elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama. A U.S. remake was recently produced, which was unsurprisingly rubbish compared to this great original.

The Prisoner: The Complete Series is a six disc boxset which has all 17 episodes in the best picture and sound quality ever. Two of the discs are filled with extra features, many of which have been specially created for this release.

Harry Potter Limited Edition Gift Set £25.97

Harry Potter Limited Edition Gift Set

The sheer madness that surrounds the Harry Potter franchise refuses to go away, much like I refuse to read any of the books! With "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard" out not that long ago, the craziness continues and show little sign of stopping any time soon.

The Harry Potter Limited Edition Gift Set is a 12 disc set which contains Special Edition versions of the first five films, a bonus disc filled with extras, and a DVD game. This is all to be found in a collectible suitcase, which looks very nice indeed.

The Benny Hill Annuals: 1970-79 £24.99

The Benny Hill Annuals: 1970-79 boxset contains a total of 12 cheap DVDs

Benny Hill was quite possibly one of the funniest comedians of the 70s. Some might dispute this by using the easy cop-out of saying he was a bit of a pervert, but it's plain as day that he's influenced many of the top comedy acts of today (just look at Little Britain, for example).

The Benny Hill Annuals: 1970-79 boxset is a 12 disc collection which contains more than 30 of his classic shows. This retails for a considerably higher price at most other retailers – both online and off -, so is something of a bargain at this price.

Movie Mail have this set available for £24.99 – for more information, click here.

The L Word: Complete Seasons One to Three £17.98

The L Word: Complete Seasons One to Three

The L Word was an American and Canadian co-produced drama series portraying the lives of a group of lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their friends, family and lovers in the trendy Los Angeles-area city of West Hollywood, California. Although initially popular, ratings went downhill around the beginning of the sixth year – resulting in cancellation, to the surprise of no-one.

Inside The L Word: Complete Seasons One to Three boxset you'll find the first 38 episodes. Also included are a fair amount of extra features such as audio commentaries on selected installments, documentaries, featurettes, deleted scenes and other short bits and bobs.

The Saint From £26.47

The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series

The Saint was a long-running mystery spy thriller which ran on ITV between 1962 and 1969. It was based on the book series by Leslie Charteris, and centered on Simon Templar – a Robin Hood-like character who has a penchant for disguise.

Originally it was aired in black and white, and The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series contains the 71 episodes that were broadcast in this fashion. Also included is an audio commentary with star Roger Moore and a "making of" documentary.

Tesco are selling this set for £39.47 – click here for more details.

The Saint: The Complete Colour Series

Beginning with the fifth series, episodes were shown in colour. Sadly this change resulted in the loss of Templar starting each episode by talking to the audience, which was replaced by simple narration.

The Saint: The Complete Colour Series features the final 47 installments, along with another audio commentary from Roger Moore and an extended documentary on the story behind the show. Also included are movie versions of the episodes "Vendetta For The Saint" and "The Fiction Makers".

Click here to get this boxset for £26.47, again from Tesco.

Return Of The Saint: The Complete Series

After a break of nearly ten years, the show was revived in the form of Return Of The Saint. Roger Moore was replaced by Ian Ogilvy, and instead of being filmed in Britain most episodes were shot on location across Europe.

Return Of The Saint: The Complete Series is a seven disc set that contains all 24 episodes, although there are no special features with this one for some reason.

Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight £69.99

Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight

In what has since become an incredibly irritating move, for some reason when it comes to certain TV shows (American Dad and Family Guy being the most obvious) in this country we get DVDs that are numbered wrongly – for example, this Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight boxset actually contains all of the episodes from seasons one to six and the first nine from season seven.

Why they insist on doing this I'll never know, but I'm afraid we have to live with it. Anyway, this set does come with a total of 115 installments to get through, plus there are countless hours of bonus material included as well – at least that' something to be happy about!

The New Statesman: The Complete Series £9.97

The New Statesman: The Complete Series

The New Statesman was a sitcom that aired during the late 80s and early 90s that satirised the Conservative Government of the time. It was sort of like a combination between "Yes Minister" and "The Young Ones" – in fact, both this and "The Young Ones" star Rik Mayall in a leading role.

The New Statesman: The Complete Series contains every episode from all four series', as well as the "Who Shot Alan B'Stard?" special and audio commentaries on selected installments.

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration £9.99

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration

The Godfather films are all excellent, even if the third one is a bit iffy in places. The best of the three has to be the second one though – not only does it last what seems like an eternity, but it has possibly the best performance in the history of cinema from Al Pacino.

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration is a boxset which contains bonus materials from the original trilogy release, plus some brand-new ones as well. The picture for all three movies has also been carefully restored, and have never looked better.
