Look for more Marvel Legends X-Men 60th Anniversary action figures such as the Marvel’s Forge, Storm, and Jubilee Set also inspired by the Uncanny X-Men #275 cover (Each sold separately. Subject to availability) Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice Written by Nigel Kneale of Quatermass fame, The Stone Tape is another intense ghost story. First broadcast in 1972, and marrying science-fiction and the supernatural, it tells the story of a pioneering electronics company moving into its new research facility, a renovated Victorian mansion, only to discover that builders have refused to work in one particular room.

Good Lord, here's Captain Hastings! And isn't that Miss Lemon and Inspector Japp? The arrival of these much-loved characters from long, long ago is just one of many nice touches in the final series of Poirot. Its five episodes, lengthy and glossy, made up the 13th series – although, in a mystery perhaps only Hercule himself could solve, this new box set is called Collection 9. (And if that's not enough for you, there is also the mammoth Definitive Collection, featuring all 70 episodes – the perfect Christmas present for all devotees of round, moustachioed, Belgian detectives.) As noted by nearly all the show's female characters, Spector is distractingly handsome, a quality that no doubt helped Dornan recently land the role of Christian Grey in the forthcoming big-screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. His character is probably not an EL James fan, though: quoting Nietszche and talking about moral relativism in letters to the police, he could even be described as a little pretentious. This is undeniably Dornan's most memorable role to date, swinging between bad guy and doting father, sometimes combining the two at once.The Chaos contingent is incredibly customisable. These guys can all be built with and without helmets, and with a standard requisition of bolters and chainswords, or with more esoteric gear including lightning claws, chainaxes, combi-weapons, power fists, icons, and much else besides. Set in Belfast, The Fall tells the story of two hunters: a female police officer and a man who enjoys slowly strangling women to death. Over the course of five tense, often violent episodes, we watch with mounting fear as these two individuals find their worlds getting closer. Unlike many serial-killer stories, though, we get to meet the killer almost immediately. Beyond that, there’s the Maulerfiend (which can also be built as a Forgefiend), and two generous transfer sheets, one for the Craftworlds and one for Heretic Astartes, with 379 and 364 transfers respectively. These include the emblems of all the major Craftworlds and unaligned Chaos legions, so you can customise the force to suit your tastes and allegiances. It's a portrait of one man's simultaneous ascent (to drug lord) and descent (into moral depravity). In an extraordinary performance, Bryan Cranston, playing Walter White, takes us with him every step of the way. To get a sense of the scale of his achievement, just compare the first and final season covers: in the former, a mildly quizzical-looking man in white Y-fronts holds a gun in a way that suggests he doesn't know how to use it. In the latter, a monster looks out, a barely discernible snarling shadow. It's a different man and the same man. It's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This complete box set, meanwhile, has the usual making-of featurettes and commentaries, which largely focus on the dull mechanics of making the key episodes, rather than providing any insight, as well as the slightly irritating and widely leaked "alternative ending", suggesting it was all a bad dream by Cranston's Malcolm in the Middle character, Hal.One thing I am surprised about is that it is not a phenomenon. Mayb there is so much stuff out there that it is difficult to pin point target audiences and promote it that much. However, to any action or crime thriller fans out there, I say this to you, you could do a lot worse than buy this show, all seasons, you will not be disappointed. It's gripping, has great stories and it is highly entertaining. Stella Gibson, played with cold class by Gillian Anderson, is drafted in from mainland Britain to help solve the case. She instantly embarks on an empathy-free quest for a result, much like The Killing's Sarah Lund, but with dashes of Prime Suspect's Jane Tennison and good old X-Files Agent Scully, too. Although a less original creation than Spector, Gibson is nevertheless enthralling. Professionally, she is relentless, sleeping at work and notably obsessed with detail in a police department defined by its failures. Privately, though, we see Gibson meeting a police officer and, within minutes, giving him her hotel room number. When the same man is gunned down, she barely appears to care. The trend for ice-cold female detectives may be wearing thin, but Anderson has enough originality to pull it off. It may have morphed from the kind of thing you crave on a cosy afternoon into a primetime glossy thriller that cemented Poirot's reputation as one of the most compelling sleuths ever, but it still managed to steer clear of the usual clichés that afflict most modern TV detectives. "You have worn well," remarks Hastings to his old friend in that deeply moving final episode. "Heart, no," says Poirot. "But the brain – as magnificent as ever!" In this box set, we glimpse the cost of his career: his loneliness, heightened by the appearance of his lost love; his remorse; and his wrangling with his faith and fate. Always prone to an angry outburst, this Poirot also has flashes of cruelty as the frustration of his situation beds in and he knows the end is near. Hastings is as ineffectual as ever, but he is all Poirot has. "I suppose I will have to put up with you," says the sleuth. "Since you cannot use your little grey cells because you do not possess them. Now go away." Hastings retreats like a punched puppy.

With such cult concerns it is perhaps unsurprising that it has struggled to stay afloat; there's even a campaign – Six Seasons and a Movie, a reference to Abed's favourite show Cougar Town – in place to ward off threats of cancellation. Harmon was replaced as showrunner after season three, and halfway through season four Chevy Chase, who plays cantankerous old bigot Pierce, walked out. Both had been outspoken about their issues with the show and each other. Marvel fans and collectors can display these fully articulated 6-inch action figures featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collection Bring the excitement and wonder of the Marvel Universe to your collection with X-Men action figures from the Hasbro Marvel Legends Series! (Additional products each sold separately. Subject to availability.) Two things bind the show together: its surrealism, and its light but crisply effective sentimentality. The former gives the show its identity. Creator Dan Harmon is a pop culture nerd and every episode is stuffed with references to movies, TV shows and video games. Some are imaginative if relatively straightforward spoofs. There's an episode that takes place almost entirely as an eight-bit game. The second season ends with a two-part paintballing tournament that sends up westerns. But Critical Film Studies, also from season two, teases that it will be a Pulp Fiction parody, then ends up skewering the 1981 Louis Malle film My Dinner with Andre, all the while pulling off a parable about friendship and individuality that isn't saccharine. These X-Men action figures come with 13 accessories, including alternate hands and alternate head for Marvel’s Banshee portraying his iconic sonic scream faceSelected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

Ward and his team show little sign of slowing down: season five will be a mammoth 52 episodes long, enough for weekly adventures all year round. There are even Ward-penned video games, such as Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!. Empty apart from a child's letter to Santa ("What I want for Christmas is please go away"), it transpires that this room is haunted by the ghost of a servant girl. Rather than running for their lives, the boffins regard her as a scientific breakthrough: a mass of data ripe for analysis with their cutting-edge recording equipment. Naturally, their interference proves rather unwise. But best of all is Marceline the Vampire Queen, a millennia-old vampire/shape-shifter/bass player who looks and acts like a teenage girl. She started off as a baddie, but soon it's revealed that her evil plans are often just elaborate gags. She's also responsible for some of the show's best songs, such as Nuts ("I thought you were nuts/But you're really, really, really nuts.") They've certainly thrown everything they have at this: expensive lighting, lavish costumes and fabulous locations (the penultimate Labours of Hercules is set in a snowed-in Swiss hotel), not to mention a brilliant cast including Simon Callow and Helen Baxendale. But – overwhelmingly – Poirot is the achievement of David Suchet (his Being Poirot documentary features in the extras). Few actors these days would take on such a commitment over nearly 25 years, so concerned would they be about typecasting. In fact, it is now impossible to imagine anybody else playing Poirot: the fastidiousness and the self-regard are perfect. And yet he's so likable. One character asks why he always refers to himself in the third person (a question that has troubled me, too). "Because, Dr Lutz, it helps Poirot achieve a healthy distance from his genius." Who can argue with that? I haven't been blown away by a show like this since NYPD Blue all those years ago in the early years of the nineties. The Pilot alone blew me away and the rest of the episodes never let me down. The highest compliment I can pay this right now is that it is better than NYPD Blue by a mile.
