Kavanagh Q.C.: The Complete Collection £17.99


Kavanagh Q.C. is a British television series that was produced for the ITV, and starred the late John Thaw as a criminal law barrister who comes from a working-class background. The programme usually followed the same format of him defending a client who seems to be guilty until a twist in the case occurs.

Inside the Kavanagh Q.C.: The Complete Collection boxset you’ll find all 27 episodes ever made. No sign of any special features, but that is to be expected with a show that wasn’t hugely popular (not to say that it was bad, mind you).

The Magic Key: The Complete Collection £2.93

The Magic Key: The Complete Collection

The Magic Key started off life as a series of books, published for children, that primarily follow the lives of three children, their parents and grandmother, and their dog. In the TV show, the dog wears a golden key around his neck – this is the only real difference from the books, as in them the key is kept in a box and the dog doesn’t go on all of the adventures.

Inside The Magic Key: The Complete Collection, you’ll find two discs that contain all 26 episodes from the animated TV series. Originally shown on the BBC Schools segments in the morning, this transferred to CBeebies in 2004 (which is probably where your son or daughter saw it first!).

Yes Man (Blu-Ray) £9.99


Yes Man is a 2008 comedy film loosely based on the true story and book of the same name by British humourist Danny Wallace. Jim Carrey stars in it as a withdrawn and depressed man who decides to try and turn his life around by saying "yes" to everything after attending a self-improvement seminar.

This high definition release looks and sounds as fantastic as it did in the cinema, and also comes with all of the extra features found on the DVD version. These include six featurettes looking at the making of the movie, five music videos and a gag reel.

Casino, Scarface And Carlito’s Way Triple Pack £3.45


There’s no question that both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro will go down in the history books as two of the greatest actors of their generation, but who is the better of the two? Personally I prefer De Niro for his magnificent performances in The Godfather Part II and Taxi Driver – although some of his career decisions have been odd to say the least (The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle anyone?!?).

Anyway this Casino, Scarface and Carlito’s Way triple pack contains three excellent movies starring one of the guys – Pacino is in Scarface and Carlito’s Way, whilst Robert De Niro is in Casino.

Eden Lake (Blu-Ray) £6.98


Despite some of the clichés, there is no denying that Eden Lake is one of the best British horror films of the last couple of years. I don’t want to spoil it too much, but what I will say is that it will be right up your street if you are a Daily Mail reader!

This high definition release looks and sounds fantastic, and also comes with all of the bonus material from the standard DVD version. These include interviews with the cast and crew, a "behind the scenes" featurette and a question and answer session with director James Watkins.

Reservoir Dogs: Limited Collector’s Edition (Blu-Ray) £6.99

Reservoir Dogs: Limited Collector's Edition (Blu-Ray)

Reservoir Dogs is the debut film of director and writer Quentin Tarantino, and potrays what happens before and after a botched jewel heist – but not the actual heist itself. An all-star cast helped make this quickly become a cult hit, and is ranked as one of the best independent movies of all-time.

The Reservoir Dogs: Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray release comes with hours of extra features, and is contained in a snazzy petrol-can steel case. Looks and sounds absolutely fantastic as well, which is nice.

HMV are selling this for £6.99 – click here for more details.

Stephen King’s It £2.99


Stephen King’s It is a television mini-series based on the book of the same name by the famous horror writer. A spate of murders prompts Mike Hanlon to suspect that the supernatural menace he and his friends battled as a child has returned – now they must defeat the evil again, but this time for good…

Due to the length of this, the film has been spread across both sides of the DVD (which means you’ll have to flip it over half-way through). You’ll also find a feature-length audio commentary with some of the cast and crew on each side as well.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story £1.89


Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a parody of pretty much every musical biopic that has ever been made, but more specifically its plot echoes the storyline of the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line. Although the film was deemed something of a failure at the box office, many critics have praised the movie – John C. Reilly’s performance in particular is a joy to behold.

On the DVD you’ll find hours of bonus material, which includes an audio commentary, a handful of featurettes, 10 deleted scenes and the ability to watch the musical or song performances from the film.
