Good news indeed. Let's hope it holds that top spot awhile, and sells a bunch of DVD sets.

Someone here recently posted a thread that the British needed to purge themselves for allowing reality TV to thrive, I think they've done just that.

Blake's 7 is an amazing show too, which I would recommend to anyone who likes Firefly. The basic premise is sort of similar - a small group of criminals/revolutionaries in a ship, fighting against a totalitarian government. Jayne's line "I was aiming for his head" is actually a quote from Avon Blake's 7. (Not sure if it was an intentional homage, but Joss Whedon has mentioned that he watched the show while he lived in England.)

NUmber 1 is pretty amazing, especially as they are charging so much for it!

Well done us - and I hope everyone as a great weekend with their shiny R2 DVDs :)

I got mine from Play.com for £26.99 - not the cheapest but they're good and reliable. The R2 box is a bit of a weird design and the discs do rattle about a lot but it was worth every penny for the Serenity commentary alone
