DVD Boxsets - what are the best series at the mo?

[matthew123]

"Prison Break" seasons 1 and 2 - simply the best!

[Andystar]

ok this is copied from my facebook..

Arrested Development- I never thought I'd say that I found a show better than Spaced but this is it, Spaced, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, The Wire, Lost, American Dad, Danger! 50,000 Volts, Curb ur Enthusiasm, SATC (only kidding), Garth Merenghi's Darkplace, Dean Learner, flight of the Concords, Black Books, Green Wing (much funnier than Scrubs), IT Crowd, Monkey (AKA monkey magic), Father Ted, Red Dwarf, NCIS, Dexter etc...I'm a quality guy, oh Star trek the Animated Series and Quincy.

Yes, I AM a quality guy..

have you had "The Singing Detective" & "I, Claudius" from the Beeb? There's also two series of "Rome" of course....

I actually watched the whole of I Claudius quite recently, about a month after rewatching Rome. It was quite handy that the former actually starts just 30 odd years after the latter leaves off.

I love I Claudius, so funny, and so many evil evil women!

Tommy agree totally mexico - keep it futile.

Talking of futile - what about the box set of DVD's Obama gave to GB

[SimonM]

Hardly "futile", given that so many DVD players these days are multi-region. Press conjuring up a non-story yet again!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The Beiderbecke Affair. Gentle comedy of yesteryear.

Watched the first episode last night and forgotten how delicious it was.

If you like Mike Leigh there's a box set of all his TV stuff coming out.

[Moos]

Not really a fan of Westerns either (SeanMac and Huguenot) but I loved Lonesome Dove. Try it.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I did try it Moos and wasn't a fan - but that was quite some time ago. My abiding memory is very "made for tv"

[bigbadwolf]

Creature comforts.

[Huguenot]

Any non-entertainment ones - Yellowstone looks cool, and just finished Coast 2?

[Moos]

Well, now I'm revealing my embarrassingly geeky side - so I hope you appreciate it Huguenot - but have you seen The Blue Planet?

Edited for poor English. Still poor, but can't be bothered to rephrase.

[Siduhe]

Megastructures and/or Monarchy (parts 1 and 2)? Depends what you're in to really. Note that some of the international (non-UK) versions of the Monarchy DVDs appear to be abridged.

[tommy]

Phoenix Nights (you can get series 1 and 2 for ?8 from HMV.com)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Phoenix Nights - one of the best commentaries on any DVD

[bigbadwolf]

GUYS!! You don't have to shell out for expensive boxsets. Just use the link I've provided.

Thank me later.

[dukesdenver]

The West Wing - seven seasons so should keep you going for a while...

[PeckhamRose]

Is that legal below?

And can you watch Premiership footie?

Meanwhile, no-one's mentioned The Persuaders. So I will.

THE PERSUADERS!

A few of my Fav's are: Wire in the Blood, Brothers and Sisters and Dirty Sexy Money...

[jaybee82]

The Wire is absolutely awesome...

I'm about half way through Season 1 and can feel large chunks of my life beginning to disappear.
