I think I would rather stick splinters under my fingernails than watch a DVD on Margaret Thatcher, after all we who were around when she was around have had the dubious fortune of watching her for a long long long looooong time!

"Thatcher"
The essential DVD collection, starting next weekend free in The Telegraph.

"The Making of Margaret"
Inside Saturday, April 12th.

"The Falklands"
Inside Sunday, April 13th.

Start collecting "Thatcher" next weekend, a unique DVD collection charting the political and personal life of Magaret Thatcher.
This series of eight exclusive DVDs features rare, archive footage as well as recent interviews with those who came to know her best, from Sir Bernard Ingham and Lord Howe to Lord Kinnock.

You can understand why it's commonly referred to as the torygraph now!

There was an advertisement on television for a crime/murder mystery book free with one of tomorrow's broadsheets. The sound was muted so I never got to see the whole ad. :mad:

I think it was either The Times or The Daily Telegraph so keep a look out anyway.

Updated tonight

The book is "The Lady's No. 1 Detective Agency" and its free with The Scotsman so only north of the border I'm afraid.

The Scotsman is available down south . I'm not sure how widely

This morning, I saw a postes in my local WH Smiths promoting a new DVD offer with the Daily Mail - a disc of a divverent war movie for the next week or so. I was in a rush, so didn't note the exact details, but I think it starts Saturday, with the usual token redemption for subsequent discs - it looks like two of teh discs containe two films (one of which was the classic David Niven film "A Matter of Life and Death")
I cannot find any more information on the Daily Mail website, alas.
