"I, Claudius" is only 20% off. Perhaps the best miniseries ever. However, at Amazon.co.uk it is much cheaper, and uncensored! This, of course, requires viewing the DVD with a multi-zone, multi-system DVD player, which:
* are the cheapest kind of DVD players - I bought one for less than $20 recently!. If you buy an expensive device (e.g. Sony or Pioneer) you will not be able to watch it
* are currently illegal in the US, because of the DMCA law (not that anyone will prosecute you)
Both these weird issues are a subject for a different time and place, though.
I'd also recommend Yes,Minister and Yes, Prime Minister - excellent comedy and still funny today.
The well-intentioned but not over-burdened with brains government minister Jim Hacker who often makes gaffes yet ends up as running the country as Prime Minister because of or inspite of his advisers. Sound familiar?
"Boo-kay residence; the lady of the house speaking!"
The Office, AbFab, the Buccaneers, Good Neighbors, Are You Being Served? (My poor pu$$j got caught out in the rain last evening!), As Time Goes By, Black Adder...
I could spend way too much money here, for I loves me some Beeb. Thanks, OP!
Are You Being Served is not much of a bargain. I've been watching it for a while, and it has been cheaper. It's actually cheaper on DeepDiscountDVD right now.
Fawlty Towers (Manuel!) is a good price, Mrs. Richards. P. Off! Is this a piece of your brain?
Do you have a dvd player which can play Region 2? If so, consider buying Spooks (MI-5) from Amazon.co.uk. I have found them to be much cheaper on many items including shipping
BTW, the price for Spooks, and many others tends to go up and down with regularity. I just keep a bunch of dvds in my cart and check daily to see if the price has changed. Incidentally, I just checked and for S1, S2, & S3, it would be about $66 SHIPPED to the States, about $50 cheaper than what the US Amazon is charging.
does anyone remember a late 80's mini series with Nigel Havers called "the Charmer" where he plays a conman. It's been awhile but I remember really liking it. I guess it's not a BBC series.

Tasha ~~~UK dvd junkie
As aired on A&E they were edited. On the episodes from N3tflix (the same ones Amaz0n, DDD, etc sell) there are some additional scenes. The one that stands out is a bar one of the spooks goes into is a nudie bar - clearly not shown on TV
I think one of my players can be made non-region specific or I can change the region. So you are saying $66 US TOTAL for all 3 seasons shipped?
Dennis Tasha Yar's least favorite phrase? "Insufficient Data"
Yes, at least as of when I checked last night. The price changes regularly for Spoooks. Once you go through checkout it is cheaper than what you see on the page for each item.

When did Amaz0n start using USPS for shipping? My order shipped on the 20th and I have not yet received it. Amaz0n said I should wait until the 8th before contacting them again.

They're starting to use media mail every chance they get now - Bezos is all caught up in investing in (more) new technology and I'm not sure anyone's minding the store. I DEFINITELY won't count on them for Xmas this year - their c.s., packing and shipping have really become slow and unreliable. I've never had so many orders cancelled or as much merchandise arrive damaged or broken as during this past year w/ Amazon.

I was excited for a moment and was expecting a good deal on "Coupling". There is absolutely no deal on this. I would have to do with PVR recorded ones for now.
If you want Coupling it is usually MUCH cheaper to get it from Amazon.co.uk. I got the first three seasons that way for way less than what the US version would be including shipping. Of course you need to have a region free player, too.
Just checked and the prices aren't so good right now. When I got them a few months ago it was £5.97 - £6.97/season.
