W.C. Fields: The Movie Collection £12.89

W.C. Fields was an American comedian who created one of the greatest comic personas of the first half of the 20th century – a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children and women.

Inside the W.C. Fields: The Movie Collection boxset you’ll find 17 of his most classic films, including "It’s A Gift", "You’re Telling Me!" and "Man On The Flying Trapeze". Sadly there are no special features to speak of, but these movies are entertaining enough for that to not matter much at all.

Blackadder: Remastered – The Ultimate Edition £30.44

Blackadder is a generic name that encompasses four series’ of a BBC historical sitcom, along with several one-off installments. All episodes star Rowan Atkinson as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder and Tony Robinson as his dogsbody Baldrick, and each series is set in a different historical period – with the main characters being completely different every time.

The Blackadder: Remastered – The Ultimate Edition boxset contains every episode ever made, including "Blackadder: The Cavalier Years", "Blackadder’s Christmas Carol" and "Blackadder: Back & Forth". You’ll also find some interesting new bonus material, such as the recent-ish "Blackadder Rides Again" documentary and audio commentaries on selected installments.

Angelina Jolie Collection £4.99

One quick glance at the box art above will pretty much tell you all you need to know about why Angelina Jolie is so popular with members of the male population. The fact that she’s also a very good actress is a bonus, with some excellent performances in such films as Gia and Girl, Interrupted.

The Angelina Jolie Collection doesn’t contain either of these two, but you do get four of her best films to date. Hackers, Life Or Something Like It, Beyond Borders and Mr & Mrs Smith are all brilliant in their own unique ways – although personally I’d recommend Mr & Mrs Smith as being the best of the bunch.

Numb3rs: Seasons One And Two £10.97 Each

Numb3rs is an American series that follows FBI Special Agent Don Eppes and his mathematical genius brother, Charlie Eppes, who helps Don solve crimes for the FBI. Although very popular in the U.S., this hasn’t managed to repeat its success on this side of the pond – probably down to the fact that it’s been stuck out on ITV3 most of the time.

Sadly there are no bonus materials to be found on any boxsets in this country, which is very annoying when you consider that the Region 1 sets are loaded with them!

Quantum Of Solace (Blu-Ray) £12.99

Quantum Of Solace is the 22nd James Bond film, and is a direct sequel to Casino Royale. It’s also Daniel Craig’s second performance in the role, which sees Bond battle Dominic Greene, who is a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist who intends to stage a coup in Bolivia to take control of its water supply.

This high definition release of the movie looks and sounds as fantastic as you would hope, and also comes with all of the extra features found on the standard DVD version. These include a documentary on the making of the film, five featurettes and a multitude of webisodes.

If you fancy Quantum Of Solace, on Blu-Ray, click here to buy it for £12.99 from HMV. This retailer exclusive also comes with a "Bond On Set" mini-book.

ER: The Complete Thirteenth Season £8.99

Although it’s just recently finished its fifteenth and final year, ER will go down in history as quite possibly the best medical drama series that has ever been produced – just compare it to our very own Casualty, which looks quite pathetic when you match them up (how many times the same storyline can be repeated without anyone noticing is beyond me).

ER: The Complete Thirteenth Season contains all 23 episodes from the 2006/2007 era, with the highlights being the aftermath of the last season’s finale and departures of two of the regular cast members for good.

Traffic £2.56

Traffic is a film about the failing war against drugs. We encounter a high-ranking judge who learns that his daughter is addicted to cocaine, a housewife who takes over her husband’s drug dealing business and a police officer who struggles to do the right thing in the midst of corruption.

With a multitude of actors, including Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, this has an all-star cast in the truest sense of the term. It’s not a bad film either, which is always a good thing.

Tremors, Tremors 2: Aftershocks And Tremors 3: Back To Perfection Triple Pack £3.93

Whilst the debut entry in the Tremors series is a very good monster comedy film about a group of people in a small town fighting subterranean worm-creatures, the subsequent sequels are much worse – that being said, Tremors 2: Aftershocks definitely has its moments.

The Tremors, Tremors 2: Aftershocks and Tremors 3: Back To Perfection triple pack contains the first three installments in the franchise in one handy set. Like I said before, Tremors is head and shoulders above the rest.

Dad’s Army: The Complete Sixth Series £1.93

While there is no denying that the events of World War II were very serious, it’s always a good thing when comedians can make light of such tragedy. Classic British sitcom Dad’s Army did this well, with its hilarious depiction of the Home Guard – I dare say even those of us not old enough to see this when it originally aired will find it just as funny as those who did.

Dad’s Army: The Complete Sixth Series contains the full seven episodes from the 1973 year. Also included are a photo gallery and a featurette about John Le Mesurier, who portrayed Sergeant Arthur Wilson in the programme.

Doctor Who: The Invasion £2.93

Patrick Troughton’s Doctor encounters the Cybermen in London in Doctor Who: The Invasion. As with many serials from this era, a complete version doesn’t exist – episodes one and four have been lost forever (although the soundtracks still remain).

Not to worry though as this DVD has both in animated form, which is the closest we’ll get to seeing the complete saga. The documentary "Evolution Of The Invasion" is also included, featuring interviews with a number of cast and crew members.

The Hut have this set of cheap DVDs available for only £2.93 – for more information, click here.
