    I dont know if this has been posted already, but here is the link

    Worthy of the whole 8 series for £33.98, gotta be worth a gamble, also new episodes have been commissioned by Satellite Broadcaster Dave for Easter holidays.

    Back to Earth appears on Dave from April 10th.

    If there's certain seasons you don't like, you can buy each one individually for under £7 each from Amazon as well, the added bonus being that each season is a 2-disc set containing the episodes and the special features. The 'All The Shows' box set has no special features at all.

    Here's hoping the Easter weekend three-part special on Dave is more like seasons 3 or 4 than seasons 7 or 8...!

    I was on the Red Dwarf website earlier on y'day & saw the links it had to Play & Sendit & was shocked at the huge mark-up both had on selling the 20th Anniversary Ed.
    Red Dwarf: 20th Anniversary - All The Shows (10 Disc)

    Sendit.com £37.89 = DVD €43.99 [40.7346 EUR - xe.com]
    Play.com £33.99 / EUR 44.49 [36.5462 EUR - xe.com]
    Amazon UK £33.98 but confused about different prices at checkout previously, different VAT prices?
    could someone explain that.

    I came across this handy ad on Amazon uk for a price checker

    I also sent them an email regarding on why is there such a big markup when using the currency converter on the site eg:
    Here is the reply:
    Thank you for your email.

    Please accept our apologies for any confusion in this matter.

    Due to a higher processing cost on Euro transactions and fluctuations in the exchange rate there may be a difference in price when ordering in Euros.

    If you have any further queries please consult the FAQ section of our Help pages. Alternatively you can contact our Customer Support Team on 0845 800 1020 (UK only) or +44 (0)1534 877 595 (outside UK). Our opening hours are 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday.

    Play.com have their own conversion rate which sucks yeah, I'm unsure whether sendit.com do too. Think the play.com conversion is fixed around .78. I ordered it from sendit.com and the invoice says it in sterling but I'm waiting to see it taken out of my credit card.

    Btw nice one OP!

    i had ordered this from play and got it for 44.49, it just arrived and it comes in a big box
    the same size roughly as a guinness book of records, with the discs in the seperate pages for each season

    Yeah according to a few reviews on Amazon, its the length of an A4 folder & will have to fit in sideways on your shelf, but still worth the money.

    The cheapest one can be bought on bbcshop website according to finddvd.
