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.

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".

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.

Deadwood: The Ultimate Collection £34.89

I’ll give you an advance warning that Deadwood has an extreme amount of swearing, but it actually works quite well in the context of the show. The growth from camp to town before and after the area’s annexation by the Dakota Territory is charted throughout the entire three years, with many historical characters making appearances.

Deadwood: The Ultimate Collection contains all 36 episodes ever made, although there is a very slim chance that it could return in the form of TV movies at some point in the future.

Mamma Mia!: The Movie (Blu-Ray) £13.89

It’s very hard to believe the success of Mamma Mia!: The Movie, but when you see that it’s made just over half a billion dollars worldwide they must be doing something right!

Mamma Mia!: The Movie, on Blu-Ray, comes with some deleted scenes and an audio commentary. As it’s a Blu-Ray release, you can expect that the picture and sound will be top notch.

Teachers: The Complete Series £23.89

Teachers was a very good comedy drama series shown on Channel 4 between 2001 and 2004, at least for the first three years anyway. Sadly the fourth series wasn’t very good at all, probably down to the fact that most of the original cast had left.

Teachers: The Complete Series contains every episode ever made, but there’s no special features to speak of. Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity, if you ask me.

Sendit.com have this available for £23.89 - for more information, click here. You might also like to know that until the 26th of October you get 10% off any order at Sendit.com, taking the price of this set down to around £21.50.

Shameless: Series One To Five £28.89

Shameless is supposed to reflect some of the real-life inhabitants of the UK, and I reckon it does a very good job. It’s a pity that the show has lost its way in recent years, as to begin with it was indeed most excellent.

The Shameless: Series One To Five boxset contains every episode from the series’ that have been made so far, including the feature-length Christmas and New Year Specials.

Click here to get this 16 disc set for £28.89 from Sendit.com. Until Sunday the 16th of October you’ll get 10% knocked off automatically, so this will actually be around £26 until then.

Babylon 5: The Complete Collection And The Lost Tales £60.97

It’s often annoying that full season sets are released some time after individual releases, but more often than not they’re worth the wait - as is the case with Babylon 5: The Complete Collection And The Lost Tales.

This bloody massive 42 disc set not only contains all the episodes from the standard series, it has the full spin-off season of Crusade and six feature-length TV movies as well. This special Amazon boxset is also the only one which includes The Lost Tales (which is a set of mini-stories featuring established characters from the show).
