We’re celebrating the fact that CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has now been on television for an amazing nine seasons, and we’ve got 3 copies of the CSI: Complete Season 9 on DVD to give away, but we’ve also got our mitts on this fab video which highlights the best bits from the first eight seasons of the show, covering the highs and lows of Gil Grissom and his Vegas team in action… Enjoy!

. 0 Comments

It’s hard to believe that the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation forensics team have now been on our screens since October 2000!

With 200 episodes in the bag, the Vegas crew are still going strong, albeit without William Petersen’s insect geek Gil Grissom at the helm.

Now on season 9, regulars Catherine, Nick and co are led by newcomer Dr Raymond Langston (Laurence Fishburne), as they doggedly investigate the seedy underbelly of the glitzy US city. Carrying on from the cliffhanger at the end of the previous season, the thirst for revenge leaves one team member in grave danger, and another dead. As they deal with the aftermath of the murder, the CSIs are forced to confront personal issues of their own that leave them wondering exactly who they can trust.

For the first time ever, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is available to buy in one complete season, as Season 9 is released on 1st March - and it’s also going to be in Blu-ray high definition.

To celebrate, TVSpy has got hold of three copies of the DVD. To be in with a chance of winning, just answer this question:

Q.What is the name of the Academy Award-winning actor who takes a lead role in CSI Season 9?
a. Laurence Fishburne
b. Laurence Fishbone
c. Larry Fishburn

If you just can’t get enough of those Supernatural Winchester boys, Sam and Dean, you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve got a competition just for you!

Hardcore fans will have heard of the companion series of books by award-winning sci-fi and fantasy writer Keith R A DeCandido, chronicling the adventures of the brothers in their fight against evil. Now, Keith has released a brand new book, called Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon.

In the book, renegade angel Castiel alerts Sam and Dean to a series of particularly brutal killings in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and they realise that the Heart of the Dragon is back. Their father, John Winchester, faced the terrifying spirit 20 years ago, and the Campbell family fought it 40 years ago – can the boys succeed where their predecessors failed?

The book Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon goes on sale on Friday 26 February, but we’ve got three copies to give away, courtesy of the always generous folk at Titan Books.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning a copy is answer this question:

Win The Day of the Triffids on Blu-ray

One of the highlights of the BBC’s Christmas TV schedule was the special effects-tastic version of John Wyndham’s classic 1951 post-apocalyptic novel The Day of The Triffids, about a world threatened by carnivorous, man-eating plants.

Hollywood star Dougray Scott and Nip/Tuck’s Joely Richardson head the all-star cast, alongside comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills, 90210), Vanessa Redgrave and Brian Cox.

With global fuel sources dwindling, the discovery of the oil-rich Triffid plant leads to intense harvesting. Capable of intelligent behaviour and able to move around on their leg-like roots, these carnivorous plants possess a deadly sting. When a solar storm blinds billions of people around the world, the Triffids descend in search of human flesh, and it’s up to a few sighted survivors to save the human race.

Released as a two-disc Ultimate Edition DVD on 1 February, the sci-fi adventure has its Blu-ray release on 22 February. To coincide with this, we have three copies of the Blu-ray edition – plus a copy of the original Wyndham novel – to give away, thanks to the folks at Showbox Home Entertainment.

For your chance to win the Blu-ray disc and the novel, just answer the following question:

Q: Eddie Izzard, who co-stars in The Day of the Triffids, had a starring role as con artist Wayne Malloy in which US drama series?

Email us your answer, with ‘The Day of the Triffids competition’ in the subject line, to tvspy@ipcmedia.com. The competition will close on Friday 26 February 2010.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept entries submitted via the comments section of our blog. All entries must be via email.

We will collect your personal email data solely to process your competition entry. Prize will be awarded to the first 3 correct entries drawn at random under independent supervision after the competition closes at noon on Friday 26 February. We will notify the winners by email within 21 days of this closing date. The prize consists of 1 The Day of the Triffids Blu-ray disc and 1 copy of the John Wyndham novel per winner. Promoter: IPC Media. Prize Supplier: Showbox Home Entertainment.
