The titles included keep changing (which is annoying), but the selection is pretty good. Titles include the Terminator films, a few of the James Bond Ultimate Editions, The Silence Of The Lambs and Anchorman.

Anybody lucky enough to catch any episodes of The Tick will tell you how good it is actually is/was. The animated adventures of one of the most inept superheroes ever known are still watchable, even now.
The Tick: The Complete Collection is a six disc set which contains all 36 installments. Now you too can join the only superhero who ever had to get a taxi in order to stop crime on his fight for justice.
Amazon have this available for £16.97 (a saving of over £13 when compared to anywhere else) - for more information, click here.
We haven’t featured any for a while now, but today there’s been further HD-DVD reductions that could be of interest.
At HMV you can get The Bourne Identity or The Bourne Supremacy for £3.99 each, or The Bourne Ultimatum for £4.99. If you want all three Bourne films, The Ultimate Bourne Collection is £14.99 (it’s cheaper to buy them individually though).
Meanwhile at Sendit.com there’s a whole host of different titles available for only £3.99 each - click here to check out the full list, which includes such movies as Batman Begins and Superman Returns, amongst others.
UPDATE: The Mummy is also £3.99 at HMV. The reason I’m highlighting this is that it’s quite difficult to get hold of a copy.
All HD-DVDs are now priced at £4.99 each instore (excluding boxsets) at Gamestation as well. Good to know if you’re not a fan of Internet shopping.
Although Babylon 5 was never the most popular of shows (Spaced ridiculed it something terrible in one episode), it still had a big enough fan base to warrant five full seasons and a few spin-offs. Most are lucky to get one season!
Babylon 5: The Complete Collection And The Lost Tales contains every episode from the five seasons, all six Babylon 5 films, and the complete spin-off series Crusade. This is an Amazon exclusive pack that also contains The Lost Tales mini-movie.
Click here to get this set for £70.97 from Amazon - the next cheapest price for this box of cheap DVDs is £109.99, so you make quite the saving.
The Matrix Trilogy is due out on Blu-Ray in November and, as such, doesn’t have any artwork yet - hence the reason for the rather empty looking post. I could have drawn what it will probably look like, but that would just be foolish.
The three Matrix films all differ in quality quite a bit. The first one is excellent, the second is a bit pants, and the third is rather good. You really need to see all of them to get the full story though.
If you fancy this set, click here to get it for £14.99 (which is probably a mis-price, so act quickly!) from Amazon.
HD-DVD owners might like to know that The Matrix Trilogy is still available for this price instore at Gamestation.
In the long-running history of decent British comedy shows, Blackadder must be quite near the top of the list in terms of greatness. I’d go as far to say that Rowan Atkinson was much better in this than he was as Mr Bean, although I’m sure others would disagree.
The Blackadder: The Complete Collection - Limited Edition DVD set contains every episode ever made (including the Blackadder’s Christmas Carol and Blackadder: Back And Forth specials) as well as a huge amount of bonus material.
Click here to buy this set for £25.95 from DVD.co.uk.
Charlie And Lola is an animated show that’s loved by lots of young kids - and for good reason, when you consider how fun-filled and imaginative it is. Well done the BBC!
Charlie And Lola: The Complete Series One is a four disc set that contains all 26 episodes, plus you get a whole load of extra features as well.
Instore at Zavvi you can get this collection for just £4 - quite the saving, when you consider the cheapst price on the Internet is £21.99!
The Persuaders was a short-lived TV show from the 70s that starred Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. It also had a brilliant theme tune performed by John Barry.
Two wealthy playboys from very different backgrounds are paired together by a stern judge, who tasks them with becoming international crimestoppers.
The Persuaders: The Complete Series - Special Edition DVD contains ever episode ever made, as well as some great bonus material - seriously, there’s hours of stuff here (from audio commentaries to an extensive documentary to an episode of The Saint).
Network DVD are selling this set for £29.99 - click here for more details.
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! Very, very odd.
The Norman Wisdom Collection contains 12 of his best films, as well as four audio commentaries from the great man and some interviews with him as well.

Top Gear is brilliant - even if you’re not a particularly big fan of cars (I’m not really), the comedy is enough to keep you watching. Jeremy Clarkson has been capitalising on the popularity of the show by making straight-to-DVD documentaries like Clarkson: Supercar Showdown.
In it, we see Monsieur Clarkson travelling all around the world to find the ultimate Supercar. Along the way, expect explosions and general tomfoolery like what you would get on Top Gear. Minus Richard Hammond and James May.
To get this for only £2.93 from Asda, simply click here.
