Happy Tree Friends: Overkill £6.99

Although Happy Tree Friends is a Flash cartoon series, its become a popular hit on the Internet since it began in 2000. Be warned though that beneath its child-friendly exterior lies something definitely unsuitable for kids – nearly every episode features blood, gore and extremely painful, violent and gruesome deaths.

The Mel Brooks Collection £12.89

Mel Brooks is an American director, writer, composer, lyricist, comedian, actor and producer, who is probably best known as a creator of broad film farces and comic parodies. He’s also one of only nine people to have ever won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award.

The Mel Brooks Collection contains seven of the best comedies he’s ever directed.

The Warriors: Ultimate Director’s Cut £3.99

Even though it first came out in 1979, The Warriors is still a very watchable film about a gang being pursued through the streets of New York City by some 100,000 other gang members – all because they’ve been wrongly accused of murdering the leader of "The Gramercy Riffs".

The Warriors: Ultimate Director’s Cut contains a slightly different version of the movie, which includes a brand new opening sequence and some animated transitions. There’s also an introduction to the film by director and producer Walter Hill and four featurettes that look at how it was made.

Doctor Who: Lost In Time £7.37

It’s sad that many BBC programmes from the past have been lost from the archives forever, so we should be thankful when any attempts to preserve older material prove successful – as is the case with the three disc Doctor Who: Lost In Time release.

Disc one contains the remains of nine stories from the William Hartnell era, whilst the second and third discs hold surviving parts of 13 from the Patrick Troughton period. Additionally, selected installments have audio commentaries and there’s an updated version of the 1998 "The Missing Years" documentary.
