After mounting pressure from the missus I've been forced to compile a list of books, CDs and DVDs I want for Christmas so her (very large) family can buy my something other than socks and deoderant this year ...

I like books like Terry Pratchett's Discworld, Anne McCaffrey's Dragons Of Pern, David Feintuch's Seafort Saga and so on.

CD's: bands I like and have CDs of already include Faith No More, Arkarna, Massive Attack, Prodigy, Paul van Dyk, System Of A Down and so on.

DVDs: I like comedy, science fiction and combinations thereof.

I'd appreciate suggestions of stuff to include on my list - nothing too, obscure, please.

Cheers in advance ...
