yendiAmazon's doing the same thing for British DVD sets that they did for horror flicks last month (although some of their definitions are pushing it -- a film is British, it seems, if John Cleese or Hugh Grant appear in it, or if a scene takes place there):
"British Comedy", including the Carry On Collection for $40, as well as a bunch of good assorted Python deals.
"British Thrills and Chills" (nothing great there, other than some out-of-print stuff that'll never ship, but Quatermass at 50% off is nice).
"British Drama" (including Love Actually, Shakespeare in Love, and The Cider House Rules for $7.97 each, and Series 1 of Enemy at the Door for $8.97. And Neverwhere for $12.97).
"British TV"
The last one has the ones that make me the happiest, including The Saint Megaset , which contains all 60 of the color episodes, for $60, 70% off. They've also got the Emma Peel Avengers Megaset (which I already own) for $75, The Complete Prisoner for $60, a three-season Rumpole Set for $50, and, for those just discovering Hugh Laurie, The Complete Jeeves and Wooster for $60 (50% off). There are also good deals on a number of other shows, but those are the ones that really stood out for me (78% off on The Beiderbecke Affair is probably a wonderful deal, but I've never heard of it).
Here's hoping that they'll follow this up next month with a sale on ST: TNG and Angel dvd sets at 75% off off. At this rate, I can hope.
