Moral dilemma solved

gervase_fenThe Daily Mail are giving away classic Ealing comedies on DVD for the next two weeks. However, it means buying the Daily Mail to get them...
Fortunately, my local WH Smiths seems to have a permanent surplus of free DVDs left over by 2 pm, which is how I got a copy of "Passport to Pimlico" when I bought the Portsmouth Evening News today.
Tomorrow I'll see if I can get a copy of "The Cruel Sea" free with the Guardian, and perhaps on Thursday I can get "The Colditz Story" with DWM 369.
It's marketing madness - I bought three Saturday papers this week, so that I could get hold of "Kind Hearts and Coronets", "Super-size Me" (The Guardian) and "The Secret Garden" - the complete, and episodic, 1975 BBC TV serial.
I did balk at buying "The Sun" today to obtain "Doctor Who - Day of Armageddon", but only because I have that already. If you'd told me two years ago, when the episode was discovered, that it would be given away for nothing in local Somerfield stores, courtesy of Mr R Murdoch, well... I would have been a bit surprised.
