Watchmen (Blu-Ray) £10

Watchmen is a superhero film adapted from the comic book of the same name. It's set in an alternate-history 1985 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, as a group of mostly retired vigilantes investigate an apparent conspiracy against them – uncovering something even more grandiose and sinister as they do…

This high definition release of the movie looks and sounds fantastic, plus it comes with a bonus digital copy as well. Also included are a range of extra features, such as a handful of featurettes, some "making of" webisodes, and a collection of viral videos.

Blockbuster have Watchmen, on Blu-Ray, available for £10 – for more information, click here.

Dad’s Army: The Complete Collection £28

Until 1978 both the BBC and ITV didn't have proper archives for programmes recorded on video tape, which resulted in significant amounts of material being wiped. Dad's Army is less affected than most, but three episodes from the second series are missing, and one installment from series three was filmed in colour but now only exists in black and white.

Dad's Army: The Complete Collection is a big 14 disc set that contains all of the surviving episodes, including the three Christmas specials. There's also a couple of documentaries, radio remakes of the lost episodes, three "Christmas Night With The Stars" sketches, and other short odds and sods.

The Norman Wisdom Collection £14.97

If you're a fan of classic comedy, you'll no doubt know who Norman Wisdom is. The thing that I find most interesting about him is that he's massively popular in Albania – he was the only Western actor whose movies were allowed in the country during the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha.

The Norman Wisdom Collection contains 12 of his best films (including Trouble In Store and  Press For Time), as well as four audio commentaries from the great man and some interviews with him as well.

Monk: Seasons One to Six £26.97

Monk is an American comedy-drama series about an obsessive-compulsive private detective. As a bit of back story, Adrian Monk was previously a brilliant detective for the San Francisco Police Department, until his wife was killed by a car bomb in a parking garage – Monk then suffered a nervous breakdown and didn't leave his house for three years.

The Monk: Seasons One to Six boxset contains the first 92 episodes of the show. There's also a few special features, but these only amount to incredibly short (around five minutes) featurettes about the cast and crew and the making of the programme.

The Munsters: The Closed Casket Collection £23.97

The Munsters is a 1960s American television sitcom depicting the home life of a family of monsters, which is a satire of both traditional monster movies and popular family entertainment of the era, such as "Leave It To Beaver". Although it was cancelled in 1966, the series has proved popular enough to still continue in syndication across the U.S. and has also led to a spin-off ("The Munsters Today") and several movies being made.

All 70 episodes ever produced can be found in The Munsters: The Closed Casket Collection boxset. Sadly we don't get any extra features at all with this, which is a shame as the American release had quite a few.

Amazon are selling this set for £23.97 – click here for more details.

Maid Marian and her Merry Men: Special Edition Boxset £11.89

Maid Marian and her Merry Men may be a children's comedy series, but this partially-musical comic retelling of the legend of Robin Hood (with Maid Marian as the leader of the Merry Men and Robin as an incompetent ex-tailor) is still very popular with adults as well.

Inside the Maid Marian and her Merry Men: Special Edition Boxset you'll find nine discs which contain all 26 episodes of the show. Also included are a range of bonus materials, such as audio commentaries, featurettes on the making of the programme and other bits and bobs.

The Shield: The Complete First Series £5.43

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 U.S. 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.

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

Wallace and Gromit: The Complete Collection (Blu-Ray) £9.85

Wallace and Gromit have graced our screens for over 20 years now, though they've only actually appeared in four short films (as well as some mildly irritating adverts and an excellent feature-length movie) – good job that all four are brilliant then!

Inside the Wallace and Gromit: The Complete Collection (Blu-Ray) release you'll find A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death in glorious high definition. Tons of extra features are included as well, such as audio commentaries and multiple "making of" featurettes.
