Stephen King Collection

Stephen King is rightly regarded as one of the best horror writers of all time, and his work really does speak for itself. Both The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption are film adaptations of his novels, and we all know how popular they are.

The Stephen King Collection contains six mini-series’ which are also adapted from some of his novels. Included are Diary Of Ellen Rimbauer, It, Rose Red, Salem’s Lot (the 1979 version), The Shining (not the Jack Nicholson one), and Storm Of The Century.

Tom And Jerry Classic Collection: Volumes One To Six £16.98

Tom And Jerry Classic Collection: Volumes One To Six

The Internet is a great place to buy stuff, as prices can be quite a bit lower than you would find on the high street. However these same prices sometimes go up and down like a yo-yo, which is the case with the Tom And Jerry Classic Collection: Volumes One To Six boxset.

It contains almost all of the original cartoons ever made across six discs, although I should mention that some have been edited due to perceived racism and controversy (these only amount to close-ups and sound edits though).

Sleeper Cell: Season One £3.89

Sleeper Cell: Season One

Even though the excellent drama series Sleeper Cell only lasted two years, there’s apparently hope that it may return for one-off events (in the same way that Prime Suspect has returned). The first season was about an FBI agent who was assigned to infiltrate a terrorist cell who planned to attack Los Angeles.

The installments that make up this first year are all included in the Sleeper Cell: Season One boxset, along with audio commentaries and deleted scenes.

Sendit.com are selling this for just £3.89 - click here for more details.

The IT Crowd: Series One & Two £10.99

The IT Crowd: Series One & Two

Channel 4 could be considered the home of original British comedy with hits like Peep Show and the still much-loved Father Ted. The IT Crowd is another popular series, focusing on the three person team that makes up the IT department at a fictitious corporation (who once made part-year profits of "eighteen hundred billion billion").

The IT Crowd: Series One & Two boxset includes the 12 episodes made so far. Also of note are the way that the DVD menus are designed, picking up on popular Internet rubbish and classic computer games.

Friends: The One With All Ten Seasons £49.99

Friends: The One With All Ten Seasons is a very big set of cheap DVDs

With the recent Sex And The City movie proving that successful TV shows can transfer well to the big screen, I’m sure the calls for a Friends film will become even louder. Quite whether it would be any good or not will depend on if all the cast return and a decent script is written - Jean-Calude Van Damme returning would be nice as well!

Friends: The One With All Ten Seasons is the complete collection of all 236 episodes, across 30 discs. There’s also some bonus material, including extended episodes and featurettes.

Doctor Who: The Complete Third Series £29.99

Doctor Who: The Complete Third Series

When Christopher Eccleston announced he was leaving Doctor Who after only one year, many wondered how good his replacement would be. Thankfully, David Tennant has been more than up to the job - in fact, his is possibly one of the best portrayals of the character yet.

The 13 episodes that make up the third year are all contained in the Doctor Who: The Complete Third Series boxset, as is the 2006 Christmas Special "The Runaway Bride".

The Shield: Seasons One And Six From £10.49

The Shield: The Complete First Season

The controversial portrayal of corrupt police officers has helped police drama series The Shield become one of the best shows to come out of the US. The Strike Team use many illegal and unethical methods to maintain peace on the streets, whilst making money through illegal drug protection schemes and robbery.

To ease you into it, The Shield: The Complete First Season contains the first 13 episodes for you to enjoy at leisure. There’s also a number of extra features included as well.

The Shield: The Complete Sixth Season

After the seventh season has finished airing at the end of November, it won’t be returning for an eighth. I suppose there’s an outside chance of one-off episodes being made in the future, but it’s far too early to tell.

The Shield: The Complete Sixth Season has 10 more hard-hitting installments. I would recommend that you catch season five before watching this one, as the stories overlap somewhat.
