I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere on this forum, but there are some great bargains around at the moment. The first series of Extras is on sale in HMV for £4, and Smiths are selling Friends series for £12.99 each.

isn't that always the way, you fork out £12.99 for a D.V.D then they reduce it to £4, bloody typical,

I reckon that I picked up a great bargain the other day: Allo Allo complete series 5 (11 hours) for Aus$25 (about 10 pounds). I got this from k-mart - other stores are selling for about Aus$40.

Sale at choices UK. Quite a few old sitcoms in the replay sections (Bread/Brushstrokes/'Allo 'Allo). Curb Your Enthusiasm are under a tenner (though can't see all of the series just some) and Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy (which is under a tenner) are in the animation section. Some of you might be interested.

Thanks for that Dan. Might have a better look around later. Doesn't look particularly wow-ish though. The trouble with the sales on thos sites is that the "discount" is off the RRP and not their normal retail price at the respective shop. Sometimes you can save a couple of pounds, but I've seen stuff go UP in price when put into a 'sale'!

Shirley Ghostman is an absolute bargain at that price as it has the entire series of My New Best Friend as a DVD extra.

The complete series of Little Britain is 100.00 Canadian! That's 50 pounds!
My big complaint with British DVD's is that they are never available in the North American market. I had to convert my DVD player to UK codes, then had to get a new TV (otherwise it would be in black in white) just to watch my Spaced DVD I ordered from Amazon.uk! It won't work any other way thus I am forced to search websites like OV Guide to watch usually poor quality videos. Booooo, being part of the Commonwealth gives us no benefits in the entertainment industry.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Aaron said:
Ouch.
You should be able to set your DVD player to Region 0, multiregion, region free (it'll have a different name depending on the make/model). But TVs can be a proper bitch.
Interesting point though. I've found that until very recently, there's been a hell of a lot of British TV shows available in Region 1 that's just impossible to find here. Bloody regions.

Not that I would ever condone purchasing DVDs from a site which doesn't award the BSG commission, Sendit.com are running a "Classic British Comedy from £3.89" special at the moment.
In truth, barely any of it is much - if at all - cheaper than it would be the rest of the time, but there are a few items there which may be of interest.
