Just spent most of my birthday money on the 24 Series 1/2 Limited Edition Box Set (I now have £7 left after spending £52.99 on it :P). Play.com are "Packing" it. I can't wait! I look in the direction of Alistair for an opinion on it. 13 discs of 24 good-ness. Ah...

I know he doesn't. I just wondered why he would spend so much on something he's seen before.
For me I think 24 would only bear viewing again in a few years, when all plot twists are forgotten. If I saw it again now, I'd be saying "Oohhhh, this is the best where..." over and over again. I suppose it would still be exciting though.

Good God people, if he wants to buy it then he doesn't have to justify himself to you.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and want to add it to me DVD collection to watch over and over again.

I buy it for the actual content, the extra features are just more incouraging.

Meh. It's simply one small reason. At least you're clearly a Red Dwarf fan, so I'll be nice :D

But 99% of my DVDs I've seen before. I buy them because I enjoyed them and they're worth seeing on demand, not just when they're on TV.

I just watched the first one again in a week and it's utterly absornbing.

So it rules, well that may be true, but you've already seen it.

They call them bonus features because they're a bonus. You know, something extra? Not what you buy it for, but a little treat at the end?

So you buy it because it's cheaper? What if you didn't even like the programme, would you still buy because it was a "bargain"?
Sorry, didn't mean to put you down - it's a pretty valid purchase if you haven't seen series one, but why not get the series one boxset instead? Less money, and a higher percentage of it is new to you.

I would. That's gotta be at least 3-4 hours of extras :)
Plus, that's not including Series 1 extras. It's more than a lot of DVDs give you...

I wouldn't call an Audio Commentary, 45 deleted scenes, One 13min documnetary, and a 96min documentary "a LOT" of extras.
Granted one documentary is like 96 min but it's still nothing to whoop whoop about.

Oh boy, that last bit made you seem so scouser-ish. It's quite disturbing...
