Save up to 57% - Best of the BBC Sale! (http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/studio.cfm?mainStudioId=33)

This is great because I've been meaning to pick up MI-5 Vol. 1 since I won Vol. 2 in a contest a while back. Hope you folks find something you've been waiting/looking for. :)

[Smithers]

Sweet I can pick up Blackadder I-IV for 40 bucks(10 bucks each) without having to buy the shitty fifth one.

[mifuneral]

How can it be "Best of BBC" and yet have no Monty Python?

[dpz301]

i dont watch much off the BBC, but the office could be a potential good pickup. thanks OP.

Highley recommended from me, I bought it as a blind buy and have watched it many times. Very rewatchable.

Plus, it has the best last line of a season of any TV show ever.

[Lemdog]

:grunt: Damn you DeepDiscount DVD! :why: Coupling, AbFab, Dr. Who More of my money gone.

[onebyone]

I have been looking for an excuse to give Absolutely Fabulous a chance, and here it is. Thanks for the link.

[James Anderson]

the office complete is my highest recommendation. period. i got mine for $5 at a poorly run Electronics Boutique.

[historyavenger]

does anyone know the DDD's normal price on the complete coupling set (s1-4)?

[justbarelymovin]

WOW. That's amazing. Also highly recommended by me. I absolutely love BBC's version of The Office (the original and best, imo).

[cupon]

I highly recommend Bleak House

Gillian Anderson and Charles Dance are incredible. For you X-Files folks, you've never seen Anderson like this. She's got some serious acting chops. It's easily the best miniseries I've ever seen. It's likely to sweep this year's BAFTA awards.

Also worth considering:
Daniel Deronda
North & South
The Way We Live Now
Wives and Daughters

[HE Pennypacker]

I would get THE OFFICE COMPLETE but the price isn't better than at any other place.

[Lemdog]

$20 - $24 ish. Trust me it's a deal. I'm picking up season three and four.

I'm pretty sure if you go to dvdpricesearch.com and search for whatever it is you're looking for, the price they had before the sale will show up, so that way you can tell whether or not or how much of a bargain you're getting. :)

[slothroplt]

I really wish there was a Region 1 release for the "I'm Alan Partridge" DVDs. "The Mighty Boosh" would be nice, as well. Of course, I could just shut it and get a multi-region player...

God, me too. I LOVE "I'm Alan Partridge." Having the cow dropped on him and the voice box, and on and on. So amazing.

[Lastdaysofrain]

I highly recommend:

Black Books
Peep Show
Nighty Night
Father Ted
The Office
League of Gentlemen
Knowing Me, Knowing You

Stuff I didn't have that I picked up:
Bottom ($21 is VERY cheap)
Blad Adder
Men Behaiving Badly

[fumanstan]

$20 - $24 ish. Trust me it's a deal. I'm picking up season three and four.

I'm sure he meant the complete box set, not each one individually, since that's what i'm wondering too :)

DVDPriceSearch lists it as 66 bucks from DDD though, so it looks like its a decent amount cheaper.

I'm definitely in for Coupling.

[Vellsbells]

Picked up North & South, I'm a sucker for costume dramas.

[tofferman]

The BBC History of World War II box set looks tempting at $79.33 (normally $113.33).

[kaisha no saru]

Go get that multi-region player. The 2nd season of Boosh is worth it (says the girl that named her dog Vince Noir).

[slothroplt]

says the girl that named her dog Vince Noir. I'll bet that dog has great hair. Wait....UPDATE: Saw the pic. He's a pug. Tough to be King of the Mods when you're a pug -ohbfrank- (but I dig the sentiment).

correct.

i shouldn't but i am sure i won't be able to rest until i order it. ddd hates me.

[TheBigDave]

Coupling is a great set, and that price is about $15-$20 less than everywhere else.

[dtcarson]

How can it be "Best of BBC" and yet have no Monty Python?

I think because most, if not all, of the Python disks are released on labels other than "BBC Home VIdeo" or whatever...The Megaset is from A&E, for instance.

Tempted by BlackAdder, 1-4 [yes, it does look like 5 is somewhat of a waste, maybe worth a rental]. Are there any extra features on the 'Complete Collection' that would not be available on the first four releases?

I was somewhat disappointed in Bottom. I loved the Young Ones, both the program and the dvd release [one of the few dvds I watched everything on], but Bottom didn't stand out to me. It did have some funny bits, but it didn't have the anarchic feeling that Young Ones did, to me.

[Sean O'Hara]

If only they'd held this until July when the new Doctor Who comes out on DVD.

Oh well, but I've already given DDD too much money this month between the Criterion, Mother's Day, and Paramount sales.

Though I suppose if my tax refund comes through in time, I could buy some Red Dwarf DVDs ....

[BigPete]

Price is awfully high for the Office complete set ... must be more popular since the US show aired. Regular price used to be $35ish.

[RevKarl]

What, no love for Elizabeth R, priced at only $37?
(Actually, I guess that’s kind of appropriate...)

[worrywort]

I highly recommend:

Black Books
Peep Show
Nighty Night
Father Ted
The Office
League of Gentlemen
Knowing Me, Knowing You

Stuff I didn't have that I picked up:
Bottom ($21 is VERY cheap)
Black Adder
Men Behaiving Badly
WORD!:bow:
$13.22 For Peep Show is awesome

[Chris-K]

Great price on their recent 6-disc Dickens and Austen collections, at a touch over $30 each. The Oscar Wilde one too is cheaper than I saw it at Costco earlier this week.

But why is Yes, Prime Minister more expensive than Yes, Minister when the latter has an RRP of $20 more?

[FM]

That's what I picked up.

[kenbenobi]

Agreed. Although I bought mine individually. I also had the pleasure of meeting Stephen Moffat and talking to him for quite some time. And he signed my artwork from each DVD. Sorry, I had to brag. I simply love this show...

[freudian-slip]

Thanks! I pulled the trigger on the Complete Fawlty Towers for $30.48!

[sotra]

Some good prices. Just a heads up on the Complete Fawlty Towers and Father Ted can be had as introductory selections to the Columbiahouse TV on DVD club.

[starman9000]

Little Britain is great for 14.40

[Michael Corvin]

Thanks.

I picked up the Blue Planet collection for $28. About 50% off. :up: The Walking With Dinosaurs collection was also 50% off at $30(from $60).

Great deal.

They are all available seperately for $6.50 each as well.

[cgray]

i've decided to upgrade my vhs red dwarf to dvd with this sale.

don't mean to self promote, but i have my 14 vhs collection of red dwarf on for a good deal over at ebay. if you're interested, check it out.

thanks OP for posting this great sale. i wonder why red dwarf vii and viii double set isn't included at the $36 price.

[Bill Needle]

thanks OP for posting this great sale. i wonder why red dwarf vii and viii double set isn't included at the $36 price.
Most likely because Series VIII has not been released yet and therefore is not part of the sale.

[whitetigeress]

Thanks so much! I really wanted to pick up David Attenbourghs new set. Perfect timing.

[fiver]

I wish this sale had held off just a few more weeks so I could pick up red dwarf VIII;) As it is, I picked up AbFab 5 (been wanting this for months and months but it was always so expensive), black books 1 which I just recently rented and enjoyed immensely, and red dwarf vii which I'd been holding out on to buy around the time VIII came out. Some others I probably would have enjoyed but I need to keep the spending down a bit...skipped the criterion sale already.

[fataldog187]

Picked up The Blue Planet box set and Life in the Freezer, 11 hours of Attenborough for ~$35 :banana:

Thanks OP! :editking:

[Wallet Boy]

Thanks! Picked up Peep Show S1.

[sotra]

Have the old R2 3 disc set of the Blue Planet. Anybody know which disk in the new 4 disk set I should get? Doesn't seem to be disk number 4.

[RevKarl]

Just a reminder to my fellow procrastinators, this sales ends Thursday, April 27, 2006.

[dtcarson]

Interesting....BlackAdder is showing as a 'Price Drop' now....is it a sale if the price is going to drop in three days anyway?

[pizzamousechips]

I've been waiting for a sale on The Office Complete set but $43 isn't much of a sale (Amazon has it at $44.86, and I have a rewards certificate worth $25). Should I just do that, or is it cheap enough somewhere else to save the cert?

[RevKarl]

Just a reminder to my fellow procrastinators, this sales ends Thursday, April 27, 2006.As with the Buena Vista one earlier this month, DDD has ended the BBC Video sale early. (Their loss; my wallet's gain.)

pizzamousechips: The Complete Office is been raised to $47.17 at DDD, so you should go with Amazon or wait (with hope) for the next 20% off sale.

[RevKarl]

Interesting....BlackAdder is showing as a 'Price Drop' now....is it a sale if the price is going to drop in three days anyway?Individual series are now back up to $14.51; entire series is $75.61... so the "price drop" logo during the sale was definitely misleading.

[blokhed]

Damn! Just missed it. Would have liked to pick up Black Adder. Oh well, I have been spending too much lately anyway.
