The Shield: Deluxe Edition £49.95


The Shield is a American drama series which has proved controversial for its depiction of police officers as corrupt. Interestingly enough, it's based on a real-life scandal in the 70's – where the anti-gang unit of the LAPD were implicated in a wide range of illegal activity.

Inside The Shield: Deluxe Edition boxset you'll find all 88 episodes. There are also a fair few extra features included, but please note that the final installment of season five has been cut quite a bit (no idea why though).

Amazon have this available for £49.95 – for more information, click here.

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).

Laurel and Hardy: The Collection £29.99

Laurel and Hardy: The Collection

Some modern comedy is funny, but to me the classic stuff always seems that little bit better. I suppose I could be in the minority, but everyone enjoys a laugh now and again – and what better way to do this than by spending some time with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Laurel and Hardy: The Collection is a mammoth 21 disc set containing much of their best work, fully re-mastered and some even included in colour as well – though purists will ultimately prefer the original black and white versions.

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.
