The Saint From £26.47

The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series

The Saint was a long-running mystery spy thriller which ran on ITV between 1962 and 1969. It was based on the book series by Leslie Charteris, and centered on Simon Templar – a Robin Hood-like character who has a penchant for disguise.

Originally it was aired in black and white, and The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series contains the 71 episodes that were broadcast in this fashion. Also included is an audio commentary with star Roger Moore and a "making of" documentary.

Tesco are selling this set for £39.47 – click here for more details.

The Saint: The Complete Colour Series

Beginning with the fifth series, episodes were shown in colour. Sadly this change resulted in the loss of Templar starting each episode by talking to the audience, which was replaced by simple narration.

The Saint: The Complete Colour Series features the final 47 installments, along with another audio commentary from Roger Moore and an extended documentary on the story behind the show. Also included are movie versions of the episodes "Vendetta For The Saint" and "The Fiction Makers".

Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight £69.99

Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight

In what has since become an incredibly irritating move, for some reason when it comes to certain TV shows (American Dad and Family Guy being the most obvious) in this country we get DVDs that are numbered wrongly – for example, this Family Guy: The Complete Seasons One to Eight boxset actually contains all of the episodes from seasons one to six and the first nine from season seven.

Why they insist on doing this I'll never know, but I'm afraid we have to live with it. Anyway, this set does come with a total of 115 installments to get through, plus there are countless hours of bonus material included as well – at least that' something to be happy about!

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration £9.99

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration

The Godfather films are all excellent, even if the third one is a bit iffy in places. The best of the three has to be the second one though – not only does it last what seems like an eternity, but it has possibly the best performance in the history of cinema from Al Pacino.

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration is a boxset which contains bonus materials from the original trilogy release, plus some brand-new ones as well. The picture for all three movies has also been carefully restored, and have never looked better.
