Hello, hello, hello and welcome to this week’s SFX Friday bargains round-up. As ever we’ve hunted through the internet and popped round the shops to find cheap offers and low priced items to tempt you away from your hard earned cash. Read on for films, TV shows and other geeky ideas that won’t break the bank.
First this week we have the latest season of Being Human , which is available in Amazon’s “Deals of the Week.” You can get season four on Blu-ray for £10.99 , or alternatively the DVD is just a pound cheaper at £9.99 . If you want all four seasons of the show, you can pick up the box-set on DVD for £25.99 and also on Blu-ray for just £29.99 .
Next in the bargains round up we have a selection of Doctor Who adventures. Two from the Hartnell era; “The Sensorites” is on DVD for £7.97 and “The Time Meddler” is also on DVD , but for the slightly cheaper £7.17 . We also found a couple of adventures from Tom Baker’s stint in the blue box; “Nightmare of Eden” is on DVD for £9.99 and “Seeds of Doom” can be yours on DVD for £7.69 .

In our weekly wander to the supermarket we visited Asda, Tesco and Morrison’s… This week’s winner was Asda, which still has a selection of sci-fi themed Blu-rays on sale for £7 each including Species, Alien, Aliens, The Fly, Predator, Legend and I Robot . Other cheap Blu-rays spotted were Contact, Wolfman, Interview with the Vampire and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang for £5 each. That last one may not be a sci-fi film but it is written and directed by Shane Black and stars Robert Downey Jr. who are set to work together on Iron Man 3 .
On the DVD front we saw Chronicle, Underworld 4, The Woman in Black and John Carter all for £10 each. Let Me In, Rec 2 and Deep Blue Sea for £5 . We also saw a film called Jurassic Shark for £7 and were amazed that nobody had done that title before…
