Recently, Merlin season 3 was released on region 1 DVD in the United States, and we were offered the chance to review the boxset. Yes, we’re a UK-based site, but we love Merlin, so why not? Join us, as we relieve the year that saw Merlin battling ever harder to disguise his magic powers in the face of goblins, family secrets and the hidden-in-plain-sight threat of Evil Morgana!
Not to mention, the ultimate DVD set question: do you need to watch any of these bonus features?

Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe – Dork Review

It’s Christmas, and that means another festive-themed outing for Doctor Who.
