Gift tip

What with it being Christmas soon, and men everywhere (maybe even some disorganised/busy women) are starting to think about Christmas shopping, I feel I should mention that play.com have the entire, seven-season box set of The West Wing for £39.95, including delivery. That's giftacular and Christmificent, in my view. That works out at around 36p per hour for some of the best TV ever made.

Is this the world's worst hint?
And can you get one which is just seasons 1,2,3 and 7? (It get's a bit turgid in the middle seasons, IMHO).

Yes Rob, is this a hint?
Posted by: Verity Ann on December 14, 2009 06:35 PM
Nope. Not a hint. Having no self-control, I would already have splurged on buying it for myself. Just thought it was an amazing deal.

Just interested to know Rob...what would you really, really like for Christmas?
Posted by: Maisie on December 15, 2009 06:35 PM
Seasons 1 to 4 certainly amongst best TV ever made - 5 to 7 not so much. But, still a cracking deal.

I've had that box set for a couple of years now. Cost a lot more than £39.95, but still worth every penny. It did go off the boil a little once Sam left, and the C.J./Chief of Staff storyline was a little ludicrous, but minor quibbles aside, The West Wing consistently produced some of the best tv writing ever.
