Cirque Du Soleil: Volumes One To Three £7.98 Each

Cirque Du Soleil is a Canadian entertainment company that performs modern circus shows around the world, without the use of rings or animals. Initially struggling to get anyone to attend any shows, they now routinely sell out to crowds of over 9,000 a night in Las Vegas – quite the success story, I think you’ll agree.

The Cirque Du Soleil: Volumes One To Three boxsets each contain four feature-length performances per set, along with a range of extra features that look into the making of each show.

To get Cirque Du Soleil: Volume One for £7.98 from Amazon, simply click here. If you fancy Cirque Du Soleil: Volume Two, click here to buy it for the same price from the same retailer – Cirque Du Soleil: Volume Three (click here) is also available for £7.98.

Mile High: The Complete Series £14.89

Although it only lasted two seasons, and finished airing in 2005, Mile High has managed to keep a small fan base. Considering it’s also a Sky1 show that didn’t get particularly fantastic ratings, this is nothing short of remarkable – perhaps the lives of cabin crews are fascinating to some people!?!

Inside the Mile High: The Complete Series boxset you’ll find all 39 episodes ever made. There are no extra features, but when you see that each installment lasts around 44 minutes then you realise that this will take you just over 29 hours to get through!

The Marx Brothers Collection £11

The Marx Brothers were a popular team of five brothers who appeared in variety shows, stage plays, film, and television. Even though they have long since passed on, an incredible amount of true comedy classics have been left for the generations that follow to enjoy.

Six of their best movies can be found in The Marx Brothers Collection. "A Night At The Opera", "A Day At The Races", "At The Circus", "Go West", "The Big Store", and "A Night In Casablanca". Chico, Harpo, and Groucho star in each, and a range of bonus material looking back at them all is also included.

Tesco have this boxset available for £11 – for more information, click here.

Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection £17.89

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce became global icons after their portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson respectively delighted audiences between 1939 and 1946. The outbreak of World War II didn’t stop them either, with many of the mysteries from this period focusing on strong anti-Nazi themes.

Inside the Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection boxset you’ll find all 14 films the pair made together. There’s also four audio commentaries, extensive production notes on each mystery, a featurette discussing the restoration project for the series, and a photo gallery containing the original movie posters.

The Young Ones: Complete Series One And Two £9.97

The Young Ones was a popular British sitcom that was first aired in 1987 on BBC2. It revolves around four undergraduate students sharing a house and combines the traditional style of sitcoms with violent slapstick, non sequitur plot turns, and surrealism – all to great effect.

Inside The Young Ones: Complete Series One And Two boxset you’ll find all 12 episodes ever made (some edits have been made to them, but much fewer than other DVD releases). There’s also a couple of audio commentaries to be found, along with three documentaries looking back at the success of the show.

My Family: The Complete Series One To Seven £32.77

With many of the BBC’s current attempts at comedy, it seems as though they’ve forgotten that people watch them to laugh. Thank heavens then that My Family still manages to eek out a giggle or two, even though it’s now running into its ninth season.

Inside the My Family: The Complete Series One To Seven boxset you’ll find the first 76 episodes of the regular show, but none of the specials are included – you have to buy a separate DVD to get them, for some reason.

Earth (Blu-Ray) £7.98

Earth is an award-winning natural history film from the BBC that depicts the diversity of wild habitats and creatures that live across our planet, and looks at the threats they may encounter in the future in order to survive.

Looking stunning and sounding equally as good in high definition, this is highly recommended if you want something to show off the capabilities of improved quality. Owners of "Planet Earth" may choose to avoid this though, as much of the footage is recycled from it.

Amazon are selling Earth, on Blu-Ray, for £7.98 – click here for more details.

National Treasure: The Treasure Hunter’s Collection (Blu-Ray) £17.98

Nicolas Cage has had quite an odd career, with some fantastic films (The Rock, Con Air) under his belt and some absolute howlers as well (Next, The Wicker Man). When National Treasure was announced, I don’t think many were too interested – however, it’s turned into a fairly successful franchise.

National Treasure: The Treasure Hunter’s Collection, on Blu-Ray, contains both movies made so far in glorious high definition. Each are packed with bonus material as well, which is nice.

The Sopranos: The Complete Series – Deluxe Edition £88.68

The Sopranos is a U.S. drama set in New Jersey, which revolves around mobster Tony Soprano and the difficulties he faces as he tries to balance the often conflicting requirements of his home life and the criminal organisation that he heads.

Inside The Sopranos: The Complete Series – Deluxe Edition boxset you’ll find all 86 episodes ever made. This includes all the special features from individual season releases along with additional deleted scenes, exclusive interviews, discussions about the finale and deceased characters, and a collection of the various spoofs and parodies other shows have carried out.
