   These sorts of people are why I'd rather buy stuff on the internet.

   I have to say I hadn't heard of the Bodysnatcher Collection before you   
   posted (we 'merkins get British things much later than you). I honestly   
   thought you were talking about the new Edition of the 70's "Invasion of   
   the Body Snatchers" DVD with all the extras (which is quite good in case   
   anyone is wondering).   
      
   Now I have to worry about making room on my shelves for more Red Dwarf   
   stuff.
