Dark Angel: Seasons One And Two £14.99 Each

Dark Angel: Season One    Dark Angel: Season Two

While it’s easy to dismiss Jessica Alba as just another generic sexpot, at time she does actually put in a good performance. Take for example the short-lived James Cameron series Dark Angel – it would never have been as watchable if she wasn’t in it (in my opinion anyway).

Only two seasons were ever produced, with the first having 22 episodes and the second being 21 installments long. Sadly the DVD releases come with nothing in the way of bonus material, which is a shame to be honest.

Click here to get Dark Angel: Season One for £14.99 from Play.com, or click here to buy Dark Angel: Season Two for the same price from the same retailer – in fact, if you’re buying both you’ll get them for £12.50 each as part of Play.com’s 2 for £25 promotion.

Monsters, Inc. £5.93


Monsters, Inc. is the largest scare factory in the world, with the top Kid-Scarer being Sulley who is assisted by his best friend Mike Wazowski. After a human girl named Boo visits them though, both monsters will have their world turned upside down…

This excellent Pixar movie comes with some equally decent extra features. These include the "For The Birds" and "Mike’s New Car" shorts, deleted scenes, outtakes and an interactive game.

Bottom: Series One To Three £14.89

Bottom: Series One To Three

After the massive success of The Young Ones, Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall continued working together for quite a while – generally with characters who closely resembled Rick and Vyvyan. Bottom is perhaps their best production since the end of The Young Ones, with Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler causing mayhem and anarchy wherever they go.

Inside the Bottom: Series One To Three boxset you’ll find all 18 installments of the BBC2 comedy. Pity there’s nothing in the way of special features, as it would be nice to hear how the guys feel about the show now.

John Mills: The Centenary Collection I £12.99


For such a small country (in terms of land mass anyway!), Britain has managed to produced some of the finest actors the world has ever seen – one such example is the legendary John Mills, who starred in more than 120 films in a career that spanned seven decades.

Inside the John Mills: The Centenary Collection I boxset you’ll find seven of his best works – In Which We Serve, We Dive At Dawn, Waterloo Road, Great Expectations, The October Man, The History Of Mr Polly and Flame In The Streets.

HMV are selling this set for £12.99 – click here for more details.

Married With Children From £6.93

Married With Children: The Complete First Season    Married With Children: The Complete Second Season

Married With Children was an American comedy series that ran for 11 years. It follows the lives of the Bundy family and, more often that, storylines revolve around a scheming Al being foiled by his cartoonish dim wit and bad luck.

The first two seasons are still available in this country, with season one containing 13 episodes and a reunion special – season two has considerably more installments (22), plus some interviews with the cast.

Lost: Seasons One To Four £15.89 Each

Lost: The Complete First Series    Lost: The Complete Second Series    Lost: The Complete Third Series


Every man and his dog has heard of Lost by now, so I don’t really need to explain what it is. I’m a bit afraid to even attempt that anyway, as how can you sound normal when talking about an island that has so much strangeness going on in it?

Anyway, whilst some have said it should have finished by now, I’ve personally enjoyed the last couple of seasons. The third year was a bit ropey in places, but apart from that minor blip it’s been excellent.

To get Lost: The Complete First Series for £15.89 from Sendit.com, simply click here. The same retailer also has the Lost: The Complete Second Series (click here), Lost: The Complete Third Series (click here) and Lost: The Complete Four Season (click here) sets available for the same price.

Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1989-1997) (Blu-Ray) £23.98

Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1989-1997) (Blu-Ray)

Since the magnificent performance from Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, many have forgotten how good at least two of the original four Batman movies were – the least said about Batman & Robin, however, the better (even George Clooney often says how ashamed he was of the finished product).

Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1989-1997), on Blu-Ray, contains excellent high definition copies of Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and the aforementioned travesty that is Batman & Robin. You also get all of the extra features found on the Special Edition DVD releases, which are far too numerous to list here.

Charlie Chan Collection £8.93


Created by Earl Derr Biggers in 1923 for a novel published in 1925, the Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was conceived as an alternative to the stereotypes at the time – although some have since claimed that the character is offensive due to his feminine traits and the fact that he is subservient to whites.

Inside the Charlie Chan Collection you’ll find six early films about the detective. Charlie Chan In London, Charlie Chan In Paris, Charlie Chan In Shanghai, Charlie Chan At The Circus, Charlie Chan At The Opera and Charlie Chan On Broadway are all pretty good for their era.

The Inbetweeners: Series One And Two £13.98


After initially going somewhat unnoticed when its first series aired, The Inbetweeners has since gone on to become one of the funniest show on British television – and with a third series on the way (plus a film rumored to be in the offing), we’ll be seeing much more of them in the future.

The Inbetweeners: Series One And Two boxset contains all 12 episodes that have aired thus far, along with a fair few extra features. These include audio commentaries, featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes and some video diaries.

The Wrestler (2008) £6.99


The Wrestler (2008) is an excellent film that stars Mickey Rourke as a professional wrestler who has fallen on hard times. As hard as it might seem to believe, the story in this is entirely accurate – many former wrestlers simply either can’t give up the limelight, or have wasted any money they did make from being on top.

On the DVD you’ll find a featurette on the making of the movie and an interview with Rourke, but for some reason the "Wrestler Round Table" discussion is only on the Blu-Ray release.
