Ah, Columbo. Solver of crimes that seem impossible to solve and wearer of the dirtiest mac this side of the pervert hiding outside your house in the bushes. I’d like to point out that I’m not implying that Columbo is a pervert, just that his choice of clothing could have been a bit better.

The Columbo: Seasons 1-7 Boxset contains 43 feature-length episodes across 23 discs, with each installment seeing our hero cracking cases that would leave most ordinary men perplexed.

Once Upon A Time In The West: Special Collector’s Edition £4

Westerns are an interesting film subject, but one genre that I’ve never personally been a big fan of. I can, however, appreciate the greatness of Once Upon A Time In The West - it’s easily one of the best westerns ever made.

Even though you might get a bot put off by the lengthy opening titles, stick with it and you will be entertained from beginning until end. With fantastic performances from Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Jason Robards (not forgetting the brilliant score by Ennio Morriconne and equally excellent directing by Sergio Leone) this is one film you should definitely get a hold of.

Instore at Asda you can get the Once Upon A Time In The West: Special Collector’s Edition DVD for only £4 - well worth it, as you get a ton of bonus material thrown in (including a commentary and numerous documentaries).

Planet Earth: The Complete Series (HD-DVD) £15.95

When you see the words "BBC" "documentary" and "David Attenborough" together in one sentence, you know that you’ll be getting top quality. This is exactly the case with Planet Earth, the series about our planet (funnily enough).

From the highest mountains to the lowest rivers, and everything in between, we are shown some beautiful and unforgettable moments in this four disc set - some stuff you’ll see in this you will never see again, I can guarantee.

Wacky Races: The Complete Series £12.99

Some of the Hanna-Barbera stuff is incredibly watchable, even now. It seems a little odd saying that, as each episode of every show they made used basically the same template (e.g. baddies appear, chase scene, capture, etc.).

Wacky Races: The Complete Series contains all 34 episodes of the classic cartoon about different characters who race various cars. Who can forget Dick Dastardly, Mutley or Penelope Pitstop?

HMV are selling this boxset for £12.99 - click here for more details.

Tom And Jerry Classic Collection: Volumes 1-6 Boxset £14.99

The Tom And Jerry Classic Collection: Volumes 1-6 Boxset contains hours and hours of classic animation - nearly 18 hours in actual fact. I think that’s more than enough to keep you entertained for a while. Probably.

You may be interested to know that some of these cartoons have either been nominated or even won Academy Awards. I sadly doubt that would happen today, as we’re all too interested in Pixar stuff. Damn technology.

The Omen Pentology £6.99

Do you like scary movies? I don’t mean the Scary Movie films, because they got terrible after the second one - seriously, if you’ve enjoyed any of the rest of them I’d advise never speaking to me in real life.

Anyway, if you like genuine scary movies, then you’ll love The Omen Pentology boxset. This contains all five Omen films made so far, including the incredibly average 2006 remake of the fantastic original.

In order to get this set for £6.99 from HMV, all you have to do is click right here (at the moment it’s saying £59.99, but add it to your basket and the price goes down).

30 Days Of Night (Blu-Ray) £11.97

30 Days Of Night is based on the Steve Niles comic book mini-series of the same name. Generally this is a good thing, as long as the filmmakers stick closely to the story found in the comic (please take note Joel Schumacher).

In Barrow, a sleepy and secluded Alaskan town, the sun sets and doesn’t rise for thirty consecutive days and nights. From the darkness will come an evil that will bring the residents to their knees - the only hope rests with the married Sheriff and Deputy, who are torn between their own survival and saving the town they love.

House: The Complete Seasons 1-3 Boxset £34.99

Hugh Laurie was best known in this country for either his comedic partnership with Stephen Fry or his many appearances on Blackadder. However, he’s more recently turned to straight acting and become an even bigger success both here and in the US with his drama series House.

Dr Gregory House is a maverick physician who is completely devoid of any kind of bedside manner. While his behaviour is somewhat anti-social, he thrives on the challenge of solving seemingly impossible medical cases. Together with his team of young experts, he’ll do whatever it takes to solve a case.

HMV have the House: The Complete Seasons 1-3 Boxset available for £34.99 - for more information on this set of cheap DVDs, click here.

Planet Of The Apes Collection £6.99

If you’ve only seen the remake of Planet Of The Apes, please do yourself a favour and get the Planet Of The Apes Collection. This contains the five original films made - and trust me, they are each about a billion times better than the Tim Burton fiasco.

In this six disc boxset not only do you get the five movies (Planet Of The Apes, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes and Battle For Planet Of The Apes), but you also get the extensive "Journey Back To The Planet Of The Apes" documentary which is hosted by star Roddy McDowall.

Heroes: Season One (HD-DVD) £12.99

In a move that really shouldn’t surprise anyone, HMV have decided to put the price of the HD-DVD release of Heroes: Season One down to £12.99 again. Maybe it will stay like this for a while, but somehow I very much doubt it.

If you’ve been hiding under a rock for a while, Heroes is about a group of seemingly ordinary people who have extraordinary powers. The programme shows how they deal with these powers, and how devastating they can actually be.
