Watership Down DVD Boxset £14.95 @ Zavvi

The Watership Down series is available from Zavvi for £14.95, a £19.34 saving o the RRP, for this boxset of 39 titles over 14 DVDs.

Actually, I’ve never seen or read any of the Watership Down stories, but I think I should, since I now live in Hampshire and all! (Being where it’s set.) According to Wikipedia “Watership Down is a classic heroic fantasy novel, written by English author Richard Adams, about a small group of rabbits. Although the animals in the story live in their natural environment, they are anthropomorphised, possessing their own culture, language, proverbs, poetry, and mythology. Evoking epic themes, the novel recounts the rabbits' odyssey as they escape the destruction of their warren to seek a place in which to establish a new home, encountering perils and temptations along the way.”

The stories in the set are:

  1. The Promised Land
    2. Home on the Down
    3. The Easy Life
    4. Strawberry Fayre
    5. The Shadow of Efrefa
    6. The Raid
    7. Challenge to Efrefa
    8. Escape from Efrefa
    9. The Vision
    10. A Tale of a Mouse
    11. Lost
    12. Friends and enemy
    13. Kidnapped
    14. Prisoner of Efrefra
    15. The Roundabout

Up To 80% Off @ BBC Shop

It seems everyone is getting in on the 'get ready for Christmas' action, and this offer of up to 80% off on Books, DVDs, CDs and Toys from the BBC Shop is no exception.

I just love snuggling up on the sofa for a good movie, and many a winter's evening has been offered up to watching a new (to us) series from start to finish. The same applies to books and music – the rare quiet weekend cuddled up in bed reading a good book to background music does wonders for the soul.

Which is where this awesome sale from the BBC Shop comes in, with movies such as Single Father: Starring David Tennant, and box sets like Merlin Series 3 at 75% off. In the CD sale, BBC Shop have audio books starting at just £3.25, and Doctor Who: The Essential Companion for £9.79.

Books like Match of the Day Annual 2011 (£4.49) and Saturday Kitchen Cookbook (£9.99) will make great gifts, while £5.59 for Alan Titchmarsh's How to Garden: Vegetables and Herbs is a small price to pay to learn a new hobby.

Finally, the BBC Christmas Toy Shop is a dream for anyone who loves Dr. Who, Top Gear, In the Night Garden and most other BBC shows, with toys from £4.45 (ZingZillas - 4 Jigsaws in a box) to £48.99 (Eleven Doctors Figure Set (Doctor Who).

BBC Shop delivery charges start at £2.45 and orders are generally despatched in one working day, so there's plenty to get your orders in. No sign of how long the sale will be lasting for though, so don't delay – fill your stockings today!

2 For 1 Disney DVDs £12.66 @ HMVHMV have a BOGOF offer on Disney DVDs meaning that for £12.66, a saving of 50%, you can have two children's movies from the extensive collection – that's double the family-friendly fun!

While I am no fan of children's TV – it's not the shows, but the advertising that drives me to the brink – I have always been one of those people who can't wait to have a child so that I could take said child to see the plethora of Disney movies that come out in time for the school holidays. I'm also one of those people who started buying up Disney DVDs long before I even had that twinkle in my eye, for the babies I'd one day have!

2 For 1 Disney DVDs £12.66 @ HMVSo, for that secret underclass of those people, this is the ideal opportunity to stock up. Of course, it's also a great time to start thinking of stocking fillers – well, not really, but when opportunity knocks...

HMV have great classic titles, such as Dumbo and Pinnochio as well as the recent releases such as Up, Cars and Toy Story 2 included in this buy one get one free offer. Whereas they would normally set you back £12.66 each, you're now getting two for the price of one, effectively making them £6.33 each.
