I don't think there are any extras and one less disc, but apart from that same PQ etc, for a fraction of the price.

more money to spend, love these films but not the most accurate films about Holmes, i was disappointed that he didn't fight Nazis when i got around to reading Arthur Conan Doyle work

they also have the Jeremy Brett Holmes cheap and poirot

Both the Jeremy Brett collection and especially the Rathbone one are ridiculously cheap on that Spanish site! Thanks so much for the heads up guys! I've just ordered both. Will have to send my US amazon order of the Brett box back to amazon.com when it arrives for a refund. That refund will pretty much pay for BOTH sets from amazon.es!! I can also now retire my Jeremy Brett Complete Collection DVD boxset, which will be going up on ebay I think as cex will only give £7 for it.

Cannot wait to see the Brett episodes in HD, possibly my favourite TV series ever. For me, Jeremy Brett and David Burke (Edward Hardwicke wasn't as good when he took over as Watson half way through) are the definitive Holmes and Watson. I also loved seeing Charles Gray as Mycroft and Eric Porter as Moriarty; perfect casting.

Laputa Castle in the Sky £4.90
Castle of Cagliostro £5.25

I haven't used Hive.co.uk before – how are they for shipping times and customer service?

Nos, I used them last year when they were knocking the extended LOTR box set out for £20 - it was a good experience, the item came quickly and was well packed, mate.

cheers nothing of intrest on blu as gotten what i would want from arrow sale. but did get horrors of the black museum on dvd for £3

[monkeypedro]

I also ordered Horrors of the Black Museum along with a few others as i get staff discount.
Its worth keeping an eye on Sainsburys Entertainment as they hopefully will be clearing out more within the coming weeks due to stopping selling bluray's and dvd's online.

[trebor8273]

also went and got scanners steelbook at £8 its a steal. Never seen black museum but no loss at £3 if i don't like it.

Horrors of the Black Museum has now sold out
