View Full Version : Coupling Heads Up! $15 from CD Wow HK
Matthew Page
24-03-2004, 02:45 PM
One of my all time favourite BBC series, Coupling is now available at
CD-Wow Hong Kong for HK$89 per season for all three seasons. That's
AU$15 approx from my calcs, and that's pretty cheap. Its too late for me
as I've got all three already. Its Region 2 PAL, the UK version of the
discs.
I'm only really recommending it if you've already seen it and like it
already naturally, but its like a far more risque version of Friends,
except its actually funny since its English comedy.
There's sort of spoiler news for season 4 of this show for those whe
want to know. Scroll down heaps to see it...
--------
Complete the froggy to email me..
Its old news, but for those who don't know, Richard Coyle, who plays
Jeff Murdock, has left the show for season 4, essentially quoting
typecasting fears for his reason. The character has been replaced rather
than keeping Jeff as another actor (which would have been terrible).
Season 4 is filming now and wraps up soon.

Cheers, picked up Red Dwarf S4 for $23 too. Cheaper than even the $30 I
payed for S3 from them.

Thanks for the heads up.
I had a look around the site and also found Season 1 & 2 of Spaced for about
$17 each. Great show.

Thanks for the heads-up. Ordered all three series. Excellent show.
Plus I have also ordered "Have I Got News For You", "Drop the Dead Donkey",
"Royale Family" and the original "Italian Job". (and all the Father Ted
series are looking very tempting) - I am obviously feeling a bit nostalgic
- memo to self - I really should remember to go to the site more often,
although IMHO their recent releases are a bit expensive now.

I can vouch for complete Father Ted series. Very funny indeed. I slip an
episode in every now and then.

Good point about the pricing also. I sat and searched their site for about
half an hour last night and wondered if they would again reduce their
prices. The current prices are very, very ordinary. I used to only use CDWow
HK, but doesn't look as though I will be again.
Wonder how much business they have lost.

Still no joy viewing www.cd-wow.com.uk from my BigPong account. I tried
at work today and got the page no problems, but at home -- nought.
Mozilla, Opera, and IE won't display any images.
Interestingly, doing a search for "coupling" at home produces a "no dvds
found" message, but at work, the same search produces three results.
Guess I'll just have to order these DVD's from work :-(

I'm using Optarse cable and the page and search function are broken for me
too, now. It was working a couple of days ago when I ordered stuff.

Order made, but they were out of stock for S1 & 3, so I'll have to wait for
them :( S2 is on its way...
BTW, I haven't actually seen this, but am getting it on friends' recommendation
of the show.

Got the first two volumes yesterday - one shipped on the 26th and the other
shipped on the 29th. My first experience with www.cd-wow.com.hk has been
very good.

Same here, I got about 5 discs from them yesterday, including the 2nd series
of 'Coupling', but the 1st series must've stopped to buy smokes duty free.
I've used them a couple of times before with good results too.

What other titles did you get out of interest? Any other cheap bargains to
be had?

I've had S1 & 2 plus Clerks:CE arrive in the last few days. Apparently also
my order of Chasing Amy:CE has been dispatched, with Coupling S3 still to
come...
All were HK$89 ~= AU$16. The Clerks & Chasing Amy ones are actually the
Australian R4(&R2) discs! They are about $27 at K-Mart.
Yes, very impressed with CD Wow for this, my first order. Now to sit
down and start watching Coupling :)

Mine turned up yesterday as well. Unfortunately the second disc from Season
two was missing. Was quite impressed with the customer service when I
emailed them about it.
