Get the brilliant Royle Family Complete Collection  for £12.99 (plus £2.50 delivery in Ireland).
This is a new collection which includes the 2008 Christmas Special

 THE ROYLE FAMILY is set in the living room of the Royle’s house. Together they slump into comfortable yet tatty chairs, sip from endless cups of tea, and are entertained by the drone of the always-on TV set in the corner. However, its the show’s subtle humour and surprisingly poignant moments that have seen it become a modern comedy classic.
This collection includes all 3 series, plus the more recent specials THE QUEEN OF SHEBA, and THE NEW SOFA, which is set in the tasteful surroundings of Dave and Denise flat as Denise attempts to cook Christmas dinner.

This years  2009 Late Late Toy Show is  due to be screened  on Friday November 27th 2009- but this Amazon web page previews lots of great toys that will probably be on the 2009  Late Late Toy Show .

These are just some of the Top Toys for Christmas 2009.

You can order them all online from Amazon.ie with delivery to your door anywhere in Ireland. (Free Delivery on Orders over £25). The prices are lower than here in Ireland and by buying in Sterling you can also benefit from the weak Pound. No need to trek up North and waste a day and a tank of petrol.

Note - the final price that Amazon charges has to have the extra Irish VAT added on - so all prices end up about 6% more than the price displayed - but they are still great prices.
