Lost: The Complete Fifth Season £32.99


The sixth, and final, year is fast approaching, so we’ll soon be able to tie up all the loose ends that have helped make Lost one of the most gripping series’ of all time – it’ll be nice to not continually be confused about what’s going on as well!

Inside this five disc boxset you’ll find all 17 episodes, plus audio commentaries, deleted scenes, bloopers and a wide variety of featurettes looking at the making of the show – this HMV exclusive also comes with an additional disc which contains even more bonus material.

Seinfeld: The Complete Series £79.93

Seinfeld: The Complete Series

While it’s a little silly to think now that a show like Seinfeld might never have maid it to air, on more than one occasion this was actually the case – some executives at NBC were convinced that nobody would watch a "comedy about nothing".

Thankfully they were proven wrong, and with the Seinfeld: The Complete Series set you get all 180 episodes ever produced. Also included are hours of bonus material, ranging from audio commentaries to deleted scenes, and a coffee table book created by the cast.

The Hut are selling this boxset for £79.93 – click here for more details.

LG BD370 Blu-Ray Player £129.99


By now, many consumers will probably have discovered that Blu-Ray players can play standard DVDs as well as Blu-Rays – however, with the LG BD370 Blu-Ray player you can also watch almost any kind of media file via a USB stick too.

Those evil people who illegally download may be interested in this feature, but for everyone else it will be useful to play back any stuff you’ve filmed on a video camera (or any other device).

In The Shadow Of The Moon (Blu-Ray) £7.95


While it may initially seem a little strange that a documentary on U.S. manned missions to the moon has been made in Britain, when you see In The Shadow Of The Moon you’ll be left in no doubt that they are more than up to the task.

With its release in high definition, you’re getting the ultimate in picture and sound quality – something made all the more impressive when considering the subject matter.

Dinnerladies: The Complete Collection £6.42


Dinnerladies was a British sitcom set in the canteen of a fictional factory in Manchester, with the caterers and regular customers as the main characters – the jokes mainly coming from the inner lives and social interactions of the predominantly female staff.

Inside the Dinnerladies: The Complete Collection boxset you’ll find all 16 episodes that were ever made. Surprisingly enough there’s only ever been two series’ produced, even though it seems like there were many more…

Amazon have this set available for £6.42 delivered – for more information, click here.

Neverwhere £3.99


Writer Neil Gaiman is perhaps better known for such works as Stardust or Coraline, but his BBC mini-series Neverwhere is something of an overlooked gem – probably down to its restricted budget, which makes it look a bit dated (even though the show was produced in 1996).

This DVD contains all six episodes, although there is sadly no sign of any extra features. A great shame, as it would have been nice to hear from Gaiman himself about what he feels looking back.

Naked Video: Series’ One And Two £4.99 Each

Naked Video: Series One    Naked Video: Series Two

Naked Video was a BBC Scotland comedy programme that was broadcast on BBC2 between 1986 and 1991. Some of the country’s most recognisable stars first appeared on this, such as Gregor Fisher (with his Rab C. Nesbitt character) and Johnathan Watson (of Only An Excuse? fame).

The first three years have been released on DVD, with six episodes per individual season. Sadly there are no extra features, which is a great pity – writers like Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse could have been interviewed at least!

If you fancy Naked Video: Series One, click here to buy it for £4.99 from HMV. The same retailer also has Naked Video: Series Two (click here) available for the same price.

Retro Revival Boxset £4.75

Retro Revival Boxset

The Police Academy films have, quite rightly, come in for a lot of stick over the years – however, the first one is actually pretty good. The bloke who does the funny voices somehow doesn’t seem as funny now though. Shame.

This makes up one third of the Retro Revival boxset, with the other two movies being The Goonies and Gremlins. Most people like these, so I don’t have to defend them!

The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection £9.99

The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection

If your ever stuck for something that will keep young kids entertained for a while, then I can heartily recommend The Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection. The books are excellent, and these animated stories are equally as good.

This 12 disc set contains a whopping 146 classic tales which run for just over 14 hours, meaning this will take quite some time to get through – handy for the inevitable rainy days this Summer.
