    the Fly episode did it for me, and the undergound lab in general.

    Ah, you see I'm reading the books before I watch the series. Onto the first part of book 3, but not seen the 2nd series yet - I bought the Sopranos boxset a year ago and only just got through series 1 (rubbish at sticking with something no matter how good it is!) so working my way through that at the moment.

    Went to HMV in lunch break today to peruse the huge piles of unsold box sets being churned out at great discount. After half an hour of humming and hawing, it hit me. I had a life.

    I left empty handed.

    You missed out the drooling labrador, the third kid, the GRANDkid!,the home office, the overgrown garden, the piles of dirty running kit, the bikes, the track day car,the modelling room, the long list of DIY 'must do' tasks and all the other things that, somehow, irritatingly mean that I cannot find the 25th hour to settle down to a nice long sesh with the box set of Fawlty Towers, Father Ted and Monty Python that beckon with the tearful sadness of ignored presents from Christmas Past!

    Same with me on Saturday Wheeze. As well as being discounted they were buy one and the second one was half-price of whatever it was already discounted at.
    The only one that really interested me (The Blu-ray extended edition of the LOTR trilogy and extras) wasn't discounted just the theatrical versions :thunbdown:
