Slumdog Millionaire £6.99

Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire is an adaptation of the novel Q & A by Indian author and diplomat Vikas Swarup. Set and filmed in India, the film tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and exceeds people’s expectations, thereby arousing the suspicion of the game show host and law enforcement officials.

Although this is certainly one of those DVDs that many will buy based purely on the fact that it won eight Academy Awards, it’s worth noting that their are a fair few extra features included as well – such as two audio commentaries, a "making of" documentary, a music video and some deleted scenes.

Ally McBeal: The Complete DVD Collection £45.95

Ally McBeal: The Complete DVD Collection

Ally McBeal was an American comedy drama series about a young lawyer working in the fictional Boston law firm Cage, Fish and Associates with other young lawyers whose lives and loves were eccentric, humourous, and dramatic.

Ally McBeal: The Complete DVD Collection is a huge 30 disc boxset that contains all 112 episodes ever made. Sadly there are only a couple of short featurettes in the way of bonus material – not to worry, as the show itself is very good indeed.

Family Guy: Season Four £7.93

Family Guy: Season Four

Family Guy is an animated sitcom that holds the unique distinction of being the very first show to be resurrected on the strength of DVD sales, after it was initially cancelled in 2000 and then again in 2002 – which makes the fact that its now considered by many to be better than its biggest rival, The Simpsons, all the more impressive.

The UK DVD release of Family Guy: Season Four is actually slightly confusing, in that it actually contains the first 14 episodes from the fourth year. This is because it was released before even getting a chance to air on television in this country.

Primeval: Complete Series One And Two Boxset £8.98

Primeval: Complete Series One And Two Boxset

When Doctor Who returned to our screens a few years ago, it was inevitable that ITV would try and come up with something to beat it. Their result? Primeval – a show about prehistoric creatures appearing on Earth.

The Primeval: Complete Series One And Two Boxset contains the first 13 episodes of the show, along with audio commentaries and a featurette on the making of the programme.

Amazon have this set available for £8.98 – for more information, click here.

Films Of The Year Boxset £4.99


2006 was a pretty good year for movies, as proven by the four that you’ll find inside this Films Of The Year Boxset – The Devil Wears Prada, The Last King Of Scotland, Little Miss Sunshine and The Queen all doing well both at the box office and during the awards season.

Of this little lot, I’d have to pick out Little Miss Sunshine as the real highlight – some genuinely good acting from all involved, together with a decent story, makes for one of the best films of the last few years.

Heroes: Complete Seasons One And Two £17.99

The Heroes: Complete Seasons One And Two boxset contains 11 cheap DVDs

While it’s fair to say that the first year of Heroes was excellent, the second in comparison was very disappointing – instead of the all-out action we instead got a build-up of characters and the discovery of their powers, problems with plot development, and some horrendous romantic nonsense (no to mention the far-too-long "Hiro in Japan" storyline).

The Heroes: Complete Seasons One And Two boxset contains the first 34 episodes of the series, along with hours of bonus material. This includes a 71 minute pilot, multiple audio commentaries, countless featurettes, many deleted scenes, and an interactive game.

Elvis: Limited Edition Boxset £24.99

Elvis: Limited Edition Boxset

Although Elvis Presley is rightly remembered more for his music, he also had a fairly decent acting career as well. Although it wasn’t that much of stretch for him to star in movies with a musical bent, Elvis managed to perform in the couple of serious roles he had without seeming out of place.

The Elvis: Limited Edition Boxset, of which apparently only 5,000 have been produced, contains some of his best work. These are the "That’s The Way It Is" and "This Is Elvis" double disc documentaries, plus deluxe editions of "Jailhouse Rock" and "Viva Las Vegas" – with "Kissin’ Cousins", "Girl Happy", "Stay Away, Joe", "Live A Little, Love A Little", and "Charro!" rounding out the collection.

The Mist: Special Edition £2.99

The Mist: Special Edition

After a violent thunderstorm, a small town comes under attack from creatures who prowl in a thick and strange mist. Retreating to a local supermarket, the survivors face off against each other while attempting to take a united stand against an enemy they cannot see.

The Mist: Special Edition DVD has an interesting bonus feature, in that you can choose to watch it in black and white. There’s also an audio commentary with the director, an interview with writer Stephen King, and some deleted scenes – plus the expected collection of featurettes on the making of the movie.

Thundercats: The Complete Collection £29.95


Whilst it’s fair to say that many animated series’ in the 80’s were purely designed to try and shift action figures based on characters featured in them, it doesn’t mean to say that they were bad – quite the opposite in fact, much like in the case of Thundercats.

Inside Thundercats: The Complete Collection you’ll find a whopping 24 discs that contain all 130 episodes of the classic show. Also included are a couple of featurettes on its success, a music video and an interactive game.

Zavvi have this available for £29.95 – for more information, click here.
