Battlestar Galactica: The Final Season

Just to confuse almost everybody on the face of the planet, Battlestar Galactica: The Final Season contains the remaining 10 episodes that weren’t included on the Battlestar Galactica: Season Four release – quite why they didn’t just wait and lump them together in one box is beyond me.

This four disc set also comes with a fair few extra features, including multiple audio commentaries and deleted scenes. There’s also a look at the forthcoming "Caprica" series, which is set in the same fictional universe as Battlestar Galactica.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season Seven

Star Trek: The Next Generation holds the distinction of not only being the longest-running Trek series thus far, but also probably the best of all-time as well – the new crew and new Starship Enterprise added quite a bit to a franchise that was seemingly dead in the water back in 1987.

Individual boxsets of the series usually contain 26 episodes (although the second year has 22), and come with hours of bonus material – this includes audio commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes and lots of others bits and pieces.

Get Smart: The Complete Series £29.99


After recently being turned into a hit film starring Steve Carrell and the lovely Anne Hathaway, it’s easy to forget that the original incarnation of Get Smart was actually much funnier – which more than likely has to do with the fact that the legendary Mel Brooks was one of the creators.
