A WEEKEND WITH LULU (John Paddy Carstairs, 1961, 85 mins)

Hammer Volume Seven: Ships & Giggles takes a look at the lighter side of the legendary film studio’s diverse output, with a quartet of comic classics starring a roll-call of British comedy greats.

In The Ugly Duckling, Carry On legend Bernard Bresslaw develops a split personality in this outrageous take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, also starring future Doctor Who Jon Pertwee (Adventures of a Private Eye). Dennis Price (Fortune Is a Woman) and George Cole (A Prize of Gold) play feuding officers in the military farce Don’t Panic Chaps. Bob Monkhouse (Carry On Sergeant), Leslie Phillips (You Must Be Joking!), and Shirley Eaton (The Blood of Fu Manchu) are stranded in France during a disastrous holiday in A Weekend with Lulu. Finally, Price returns as a seaman who is late for his own wedding in the marital farce Watch It, Sailor!, which also stars the legendary Liz Fraser (The Smallest Show on Earth) and Irene Handl (Confessions of a Driving Instructor).

This collection of long-overdue UK and world Blu-ray premieres contains a wealth of new and archival extra features, including appreciations, and interviews with members of the cast and crew, and extensive booklets. Strictly limited to 6,000 numbered units.

Our lives are more connected than ever, most often for the best: entertainment, knowledge, communication, work tools… Our networks and connections bring us closer to each other and the world but come with their lots of traps and disruptions! Cyberspace today hides many hazards – every week seems to bring new reports of bugs, viruses, Trojans, worms and other exotic varieties of malware designed to help penetrate our firewalls and steal our precious personal information. Ransomware is becoming an increasingly popular assault on innocent victims (this is when hackers lock one’s information until they’ve made an often hefty financial pay-out to access it). The only way for you to stay ahead of this army of scammers, hackers and phishers is to keep on top of the latest in cyber security, and Norton are leaders in the field, their name a byword for security. Norton was founded by Peter Norton, who pioneered consumer antivirus and data management utilities, launching a Norton AntiVirus 1.0 for PC and compatible computers as early as 1991. By this time, the company had been acquired by Symantec (founded in 1982), and had evolved into one of the world’s largest software companies with more than 18,500 employees in over 50 countries. The purchase has turned Symantec, still based in California, into a global leader in providing cyber security, information storage, and peace of mind. Norton Antivirus is their flagship product for home use, with millions of satisfied customers worldwide. Norton is still the market leader after all these years, winning more PC magazine editors’ awards for its services than any other company. Here at Groupon, we can’t recommend Norton highly enough, which is why we keep constantly updated offers for their services on our site – keep your computer and network secure with help from Groupon. Help ward off potential cyber threats with one of our Symantec vouchers, which give you discounted rates on a host of anti-virus and anti-malware software. They offer a diverse roster of products in fields such as advanced threat protection, backup exec, managed security services and system recovery. Their online shelves also stock code signing certificates, control compliance suites and web gateway software, all potentially available with a Symantec voucher code. Symantec offers more than simply its products - it also provides support to customers. Technical support is available on their website, as are a number of user communities who post updates on the latest technology, to help others protect their computers more effectively. So if you're looking to find ways to stop malware from infecting your PC when browsing the internet, or just want peace of mind when opening emails, take a peek at our Symantec vouchers and pick up a bargain today.
